Document File Types

We accept both Macintosh and Windows document files from QuarkXPress; InDesign; Acrobat; Illustrator EPS; and Photoshop.

We also accept DCS (certain types), composite PDF or PostScript files, but any changes will require resubmission by the client.

Files should be supplied with all fonts and linked artwork necessary to produce the ad. PDF files must have all fonts and graphics embedded at high-resolution printing settings without any security settings set.

Bitmap artwork must be at high resolution (at least 300 dpi for color/grayscale and 2400 dpi for b&w line art). Color images submitted as Pantone or RGB color space will be converted in RIP to CMYK.

All Quark EPS files must include their native Quark files as well.

Media Types

Digital media formats:

CD-ROM or DVD, either Macintosh or Windows format.

Electronic transfer via FTP:

IP address: 63.160.97.39
User name: qrwine
Password: eUsey76

Once you have placed your ad on the FTP site, please contact Donna Iovinelli at Donna.Iovinelli@qg.com. Please send an e-mail with a low res PDF and what the file name is. If you have any questions please call Donna at 978-840-5712.

Color Proofs

All ads need to be supplied with, at minimum, color inkjet or laser proofs at 100% size, made directly from the submitted digital file, so we can check content and general color break. If you wish to submit proofs to use for color then those proofs must be from a properly calibrated SWOP-approved color output device. It is suggested that you submit a test file in advance of the live job so that potential pitfalls can be identified and rectified prior to the live job submission. Ads and proofs will not be returned.

We are not responsible for unlocked files
or files submitted without appropriate proofs.
