• Kentucky Monthly will not assume any responsibility for advertising
reproductions that do not conform to the mechanical specifications listed here.
All ads must be supplied digitally.
• All artwork must be submitted in a press-ready format. Adobe PDF or PDFx-1 is
preferred, but TIFF, JPG or EPS files at 300 dpi are also acceptable. Please embed
all fonts and images. Convert all artwork to CMYK.
• Publisher, PageMaker or Microsoft Word files are not acceptable. Kentucky
Monthly can re-create the ad at our production rate.
• If color accuracy is important, ads should include a matchprint or equivalent
digital color proof.
• Kentucky Monthly is printed in process color. We are not responsible for color
accuracy in files that must be converted to CMYK upon arrival.
• Trim size for Kentucky Monthly magazine is 8.125” x 10.875”. Bleed has been
accounted for in the “Bleed Ads” sizing. Live matter in bleeding ads must be
kept at least .25” (1/4 inch) within the area of the ad to avoid being lost in the
final trim. When possible, please design your ads so they can be positioned
on odd or even pages. While Kentucky Monthly does not recommend it, any type
crossing the gutter should be positioned 1/8” from the gutter on each page to
provide 1/4” total separation.
• Advertisers needing an ad created by Kentucky Monthly are required to submit
materials no later than the closing date. Kentucky Monthly assumes no liability for
errors that occur in ads after client approval.

Requirements for Digital Advertising Material
• All files must be converted to RGB and 72 dpi. Acceptable formats are animated
GIF, JPG, or PNG.
• Maximum file size: 50K; maximum number of loops: 3; maximum frames for
animated GIFs: 4.

Changes to Existing Ads

No changes can be made to supplied ads; the advertiser must re-supply the ad
material. Copy changes can be made to ads created by Kentucky Monthly at a cost of
$75 per hour billed in 30-minute increments.

Custom Ads (created by Kentucky Monthly)

Advertisers must supply: photographic prints, original logo art, final typed copy,
and any desired line art or illustrations.
Original logo art on photographic-quality paper is essential for good reproduction
in the magazine. Unless appropriate original material is supplied, Kentucky Monthly
cannot be held responsible for print reproduction.
Kentucky Monthly will not guarantee optimum reproduction, nor accept
responsibility for error, if any materials are submitted later than the scheduled
material closing date.
