PROOFS REQUIRED: Iris, Matchprint, Kodak Approval, or other SWOP approved proofs are acceptable. Color lasers are not acceptable. A proof must be delivered
regardless of media. NCSL will not be responsible for reproduction problems, fonts not embedded or file corruptions associated with ads not accompanied by an
approved proof. Please be aware most color proofing devices are not color calibrated. Most sheetfed and web printers have calibrated their proofing devices to their own
presses. Color proofs produced at one printer may not be an exact match to another printer. If you have ads that are color critical, please inquire about proofing your ads at our printer.
TWO-COLOR ADS: Build second color as cyan, magenta or yellow.
BLEEDS: Trim size is 8.5" x 10.875", add a 0.125" all around the trim size.
COPY ACCEPTANCE: Paid advertising with State Legislatures will be within the generally accepted bounds of taste and quality appropriate to a national magazine of
state government and policy, as long as the advertisement is not overtly partisan or political. The publisher reserves the right to reject any advertisement considered
unsuitable for the publication. Advertising that resembles editorial may be marked "Advertisement" by the publisher.
LIABILITY: Advertisers and advertising agencies assume liability for the contents of all advertisements printed and also assume responsibility for any claims arising
there from against the publisher.
