As Sea Technology is prepared electronically
(in QuarkXPress), we request that all ad materials be sent
as electronic files. Ads received in film format will be scanned
and a scanning charge assessed. Gross rates will apply for ads
sent by us.
We
operate on a Mac platform. Although we can accept PC files,
if a PC font is used that we do not have a matching Mac font for,
we will substitute a font. You may choose to convert your text
to outlines to eliminate this issue.
All ads, including native files, must be
accompanied by our advertising
desktop checklist and a color proof where appropriate.
We will not be responsible for misprinted ads if we have not received
the required documentation and/or proofs.
Download desktop
checklist (PDF - 16K) and fax it to (703) 841-0852, or e-mail
us at seatechads@sea-technology.com
Although we can accept the following, production
charges will be assessed for work-up of any materials that are
not supplied in electronic file form. Accepted in decreasing order
of preference are film negatives or positives; camera-ready finished
art/copy without reduction for line shot only; combination line/halftone
art requiring camera reduction, screens, stripping, paste-up,
etc.; letterpress plates. Mats or stereotypes not accepted.
All extra production operations such as camera work, conversions,
artwork and stripping required for offset printing are billed
to advertiser at prevailing rates. A late charge will be assessed
when materials requiring extra production work are received after
the 20th of the month preceding insertion month. All necessary
repairs to plates received in worn or damaged condition and mechanical
work on plates are billed to advertiser at prevailing rates. All
offset materials and plates are stored for one year after use
without charge and then destroyed unless otherwise specified in
writing by the advertiser or agency. Mechanical alterations
available with a minimum charge of $30.
Covers, 100-lb. white, machine-coated offset
stock.
