We need your ad and your payment before an ad will run.
Punk Planet does not accept ads from major labels, other multi-national corporations or their subsidiaries. Please respect that and don’t try to sneak one past us.
Advertising specs
-All ads run black and white.
-We would prefer your ad submitted digitally.
-We will only accept digital ads in Mac-compatible TIF (300 dpi) or PDF (with no compression, all fonts and images embedded) formats.
-Digital ads must be e-mailed by the deadline (and we need to have received payment by then as well).
-Ads will be digitally output at 133 lpi.
-If your ad is missing fonts (which it shouldn’t because we want fonts embedded in that PDF), is too low-res, or there are other design problems with your ad (tiny type that gets halftoned etc…) we can’t take responsibility—please do know what you’re doing when you turn your ad in. We will try our damndest to make sure your ad looks good, but can’t chase down 100 advertisers with 100 different problems.
-If you would like to submit your ad as a camera-ready positive, we still accept those too. All camera-ready ads will be scanned, placed, and output digitally. As a result, there may be unexpected moire patterns, soft type, and other oddities. However, we like things to look good in our magazine and will scan your ad as best we can. Ultimately, though if you want maximum quality, go digital.
