We print at 150 linescreen on gloss paper. Please use only high-resolution images when creating your ads. Low resolution and Internet will produce fuzzy looking ads. All images should be color corrected to U.S. Web Coated SWOP CMYK standards. All raster images should be at least 300 dpi @ 100% image size and all line art should be 1200 dpi @ 100% image size.

We prefer properly pre-press quality distilled Acrobat .pdf files. Do not export your ads as .pdf files out of your creation program. Instead, export a .ps file and run this .ps file through Acrobat Distiller. Embed 100% of your fonts into your .pdf file.

NOTE: Adobe InDesign and Quark Xpress DO NOT export a proper .pdf file for prepress work. You must export a .ps file first. Then run the .ps file through Acrobat Distiller with pre-press settings. There are many professional ad agencies throughout the country making this mistake.

We also accept Quark and InDesign ads that have been bundled with all required fonts, elements and logos. Put all of these elements into a folder, compress the folder, and e-mail the folder to . If your e-mail service does not allow you to send large attachments, please burn your files onto a cd-r and mail it to: Omaha Publications, Art Department, P O Box 461208, Papillion, NE 68046. We also have a ftp site available. Please call our Art Department for an username and password.

We DO NOT accept ads created in Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint nor Word. Do not put your images and logos into Word documents. Send only the raw images.

We can produce your advertisement at no charge if you provide a sketch of how the ad should appear along with high quality photos and logos. Many franchises, parent companies, and co-op opportunities will provide local companies with cds of ad templates, high-resolution photos and logos. Please seek these resources out and forward the material to us so we can create your ad.
