3651.0. "need ad person" by BGSDEV::RAMSAY () Tue Feb 25 1997 13:26

    I need to have a camera-ready magazine ad prepared for publication.  Any
    recommendations as to whom I can contact for this?  Thanks.

3651.1TLE::REAGANAll of this chaos makes perfect senseTue Feb 25 1997 19:0012
    I assume this is non-work related?  Where in the state?
    
    My wife has put things in the Yellow Pages as well as several local
    newspapers.  We just printed a good copy on our Macintosh at home and
    given that to the publisher.  They scanned it in.  One place did ask
    if we had the artwork in EPS format, but by the time I said "sure, I
    guess I can do that for you", the went ahead and did the scanning
    on their own.
    
    How much stuff do you have?  Multi-colored or B&W?

    Hi, John.  Yes, it's non-work-related.  We have a T shirt business. 
    The ad will be four colors in a magazine, so it has to be very good
    quality.  I have no PC or scanner.  The person preparing the ad would
    have to do everything.  Time is of the essence, too.

    Susan,
    
    Does it have to be CAMERA-ready?  Most magazines these days can take
    electronic submissions in various formats, such as EPS or QuarkXpress. 
    Printing professional-quality camera-ready 4-color art requires a dye-
    sublimation printer, and such printers cost in the tens of thousands of
    dollars.  Your average PC user is unlikely to have one.  :-)
    
    A professional service bureau such as AlphaGraphics, on Main Street in
    Nashua, can do what you want, either as camera-ready art or as
    electronic files.

    Yes, Binder-san, it has to be camera ready.  Thanks for the suggestion.
