Production Specifications and Submission Guidelines

Print Specifications Trim Size

JOSPT’s final trim size is 8" x 10.5". For full-page ads, ensure at least 0.125" bleed if the ad contains content that extends to the trim edge, and at least 0.375" clearance (safe area) from the trim to the page elements inside the trim area. For fractional ads, check that the file trim size matches the size requested (see thumbnails to the right).

Binding and Paper Stock

• Perfect bound.• Inside pages are 50# Somerset Satin® FSC.• Covers are 100# Arbor Plus Matte® FSC.

Print Material Requirements

Please submit all ad materials in a digital format:• Adobe PDF, with associated high-resolution graphic files and

embedded fonts (preferred format).• Other native desktop application files (Adobe Illustrator,

Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, or Tiff/IT-PI) with associated high-resolution graphic files and embedded fonts (alternative formats).

Check that:• Fonts are not menu styled (don’t use the “bold” and “italic”

buttons in the measurements palette).• All images are linked and updated, and none are scaled to

more than 120% in the layout application.• Text and important images should be at least 0.375" from the

edge of the page.• All colors are converted to CMYK.

• Effective resolution of CMYK/grayscale/duotone images is 300 dpi (plus or minus 20%).

• Effective resolution of line-art graphics is between 1200 and 2400 dpi.

• When using Illustrator or InDesign, fonts are converted to outlines for maximum compatibility.

• Black and colors in your palette do not exceed 300 in total ink density (sum of CMYK values).

Generating PDFs

• When using InDesign or Illustrator, export PDF files directly from the application.

• When using Quark, write a postscript file and distill it using Adobe Acrobat Distiller.

• If your PDF-creation software provides control over formatting options, follow these guidelines:– Set registration marks (and bleed amounts, if necessary) for

full-page ads.– Embed high-resolution images and fonts (do not subset

fonts).– Set file resolution to 2400 dpi, and do not downsample

images lower than 300 dpi.– Set “color management option” to “off” or “leave

unchanged.”– Use compatibility setting “Adobe 4.0 (PDF 1.3).”– Do not crop in Acrobat. The crop function alters page

formatting and creates problems if the file is intended for high-quality printing.

– When creating fractional ads, set your document size equal to or a bit larger than the specified ad dimensions.

PDF File Preflight

• We recommend performing a preflight on your files. Acrobat Professional 6, 7, 8, 9, and X have a built-in Preflight function to check for missing fonts, low-resolution images, file corruption, and so on. There are also utilities available (such as Apago PDF/X) that will check PDF files.

• Visually check your final PDF. Be sure to open your final PDF and check it for quality problems and missing elements. When viewing PDF files in Acrobat 6, 7, 8, 9, or X, turn on “Overprint Preview” under the “Advanced” menu.

Media and Disposal of Materials

Digital files may be provided via e-mail or CD-ROM. Please label media with JOSPT, issue date, and advertiser name. Include a laser copy of the media directory with all contents. Note the contact person and phone number.

Online Specifications• JOSPT accepts either static images or Flash files.• Files may be provided either as GIFs or JPEGs.• Flash files should include the original SWF file. We reserve

the right to limit file size, if necessary.• Web advertisements are labeled “Advertisement,” must

conform to the standards of JOSPT.org, and are subject to approval by the publisher.

• Advertisements must open in an additional window and may not prevent the viewer from returning to JOSPT’s website.

What JOSPT Advertisers Say

JOSPT has been a valuable source of generating interest in KinetaCore’s dry needling education for clinicians of all levels of experience and expertise. Our online and in-print ads continue to be a strong referral source for us, even in an age of digital ads and blogs. Thank you, JOSPT, for your support for KinetaCore!

We’ve found JOSPT custom e-blasts to be a great way to share our message with our ideal target audience. In the past year, they’ve proven to be integral in helping us meet our goal of generating qualified sales leads.

Our advertising program with JOSPT has given us greater visibility within the physiotherapy community. We attribute a good part of our success to it.

JOSPT’s influential audience continues to play a major role in Spinal Manipulation Institute’s worldwide growth and brand recognition.

Cincinnati SportsMedicine Research and

Education Foundation is in its 32nd year of

producing our renowned educational conference,

“Advances on the Knee and Shoulder,”

focusing on the diagnosis and treatment

of musculoskeletal problems for orthopaedists,

physical therapists, athletic trainers, and

many others. Because of its diversified

readership, JOSPT has been a mainstay in our

marketing plans for many years. We run full-

page, color print ads on page 1 of JOSPT and

send custom e-mail blasts to JOSPT’s readers

who have opted in to receiving these messages.

We believe the return on our investment in

marketing with JOSPT is second to none.
