Materials/Specs
Here
are basic guidelines for artwork submission that follow
industry standards. It is important that all artwork
supplied (either by you and/or by your production house)
comply with these requirements. Most of the information
on this page is targeted at graphic artists, designers
and art directors. If you do not have knowledge of desktop
design or do not have the software required, we suggest
that you seek the assistance of a professional for additional
help with your artwork.

Digital Artwork
When submitting ads electronically, please observe the following guidelines. Our layout department is on a Macintosh network, but we can accept files created on other platforms.
The preferred file type is a high-resolution portable document format (.pdf) file. The file should be generated as a high-quality-print or press-quality .pdf. We recommend saving file as a native .pdf file or postscript file, then opening it in Acrobat 5 or higher and saving it as an Acrobat .pdf. Please make sure that all fonts are imbedded in the document.
Advertisements can also be submitted as .tiff, .eps, .jpg or .pdf files at 300 dpi in CMYK colors that can be imported directly into Adobe InDesign or native files created in one of the following software programs.
- Adobe Acrobat
- Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe InDesign
- Adobe Photoshop
- QuarkXPress
If sending an ad created in Illustrator, InDesign or Quark, please include all elements used to create the document, including printer and screen fonts, or convert files to an editable (.pdf) file using Adobe Acrobat.
Graphics files used to create any ad — whether submitted as a .pdf or as a native file — should be vector-based or have a resolution of at least 300 pixels per inch at full size as used within the ad or graphic. They should be converted to CMYK with no spot or PMS colors used in any element of the ad.
Black and white bit-map files should be submitted at 600 dpi.
Files we cannot use
Our art department can accept files from virtually all professional publishing and graphics software, if properly saved in the formats described above. However, we cannot accept any electronic art that has been created using the following programs: Word Perfect, Claris Works, Microsoft Works, Microsoft Word, or Power Point. If you have artwork that was created using one of these programs, please contact us to discuss an alternative solution.
Submitting your ad files
Files up to 10MB may be sent via e-mail to jennifer@multilingual.com
Files larger that 10MB can be placed on our ftp site. Please e-mail jennifer@multilingual.com for our FTP address.
Submitting your logo
Logos should be prepared following the same guidelines. They should be 300 dpi at 2.5 inches wide. Please e-mail to jennifer@multilingual.com.

Special Guides
Four times a year we publish focused guides which have long-term
reference value. We provide an overview and introduction
into the processes, the products and the services for
a specific industry topic. You may view details on our next
guide here.
Guides
are independently bound and removable from the magazine
so they may function as stand-alone pieces. Additional
copies are printed for distribution at conferences,
trade shows and workshops around the world. They are
also posted to www.multilingual.com where they may be downloaded. One-time ads
are accepted.
