Additional info for submitting electronic files:
The Networker is printed on newsprint paper, which presents a few extra challenges for ad presp. A few helpful hints follow to help you make the create the best (and safest) ad possible for this type of printing.

1. If a file is sent in RGB format, the printer converts them to CMYK or B&W (grayscale) accordingly. When this happens, colors tend to get darker. It is best to make sure all color ads are set to CMYK and B&W ads are set to grayscale before submitting (including any/all embedded files).
2. With newsprint printing there is less of a color range than "normal" hi-res printing. Extremely light colors and dark colors will become even lighter and darker than intended due to diminishing dots or dot gain.
3. B&W ads should have a grayscale range between 20% and 80% to avoid diminishing dots and dot gain.
4. When creating colors, it is safest to use 2-ink combination; i.e. cyan/magenta, cyan/yellow, yellow/magenta or black with any of the other three. If additional inks are needed for the desired result, be sure that total ink coverage is a maximum of 260%.

   	-- 25c, 100m, 25y = 150% -- okay
   	-- 20c, 100m = 120% -- close match, safer 2-ink combo
   	-- 80c, 30m, 100y = 210% -- okay
   	-- 100c, 100y = 200% -- brighter green, but safer 2-ink combo

5. Fonts -- Really thin fonts or pt. sizes that are too small are discouraged, especially when dropping them out of a dark background. The "legs" on a serif font could disappear, as well. Colors may close in around them due to ink saturation and dot gain.
6. Black text -- it is best to use 100% black ink only. If cyan, magenta and yellow are part of your ink build, the text may have a "halo" and appear fuzzy.
   Also, make sure that black text is set to "overprint." Otherwise it may drop out of any background graphics you have and create a white halo.
