Submissions for ads must be digitally submitted print-ready, as a graphic in any of the following formats: TIFF, PNG, GIF, BMP, or JPEG.  We advise using caution choosing JPEG. This file format is optimized for photos and non-photo elements – text, logos, artwork, often do not come out crisply. Arrangements to send hard copy must be made on an individual basis.  We do not offer graphic design or proofing services.

We recommend using at least 300 dots-per-inch (300dpi) or pixels equivalent to 300 dpi 9as given above). More is fine. Less will also be accepted but your ad may end up looking blocky.

You have the full dimensions/pixels of your ad space to use but we suggest including margins as part of your layout so that your ad does not bump right into other ads or surrounding content. We recommend a quarter-inch (0.25” or 75 pixels at 300 dpi) clearance.

If you are purchasing a black and white space please send your copy in black and white or grayscale.  Only send colour if you are purchasing colour space as a colour as converted to grayscale may not look as nice as you would like.
Discounts available: volume space purchases (multiple full pages, half pages, etc. or any combination) can earn you a discount from your total purchase.   Our KeyCon representative can advise you.
