File FormatsPDF is the preferred file format for print ads. Other acceptable files include EPS, TIFF, DOC, AI, PSD, IND, JPEG and most graphic formats. Your Account Executive can answer any questions regarding file types.
FontsFonts are not necessarily universal. Please make sure that all fonts are embedded. For Photoshop files, we prefer a flattened image. If these rules cannot be adhered to, it may be necessary for our productions department to substitute fonts without notification.
Image ResolutionOur paper prints at around 230 DPI (dots per inch). Digital files for print should be submitted at a minimum of 250 DPI. Web images as a general rule are 72 DPI and should not be submitted, as they will print “fuzzy”.

We are more than pleased to offer discounted design services for clients who have pre-paid for an ad or have an on-going contract with Targum Publishing. Our productions department can create an ad for you or streamline the one you have to ensure what’s best for both your company and the aesthetic of the paper. Any revisions or adjustments to the created ad requested by the advertiser will be an additional fee. Ask your Account Executive for further details.
Proofs & DeadlinesIf our productions department is creating an ad for you, we will need all the information 5 business days in advance. While this may seem like a long time, please consider that we are working with many clients simultaneously. The deadline assures that each ad is crafted carefully and proofread for errors. It will also give you ample time to carefully look over your ad and give us adequate time to make corrections. We cannot guarantee proofs to advertisers who fail to meet the submission guidelines. Please make sure all text is finalized and proofread before submitting. The Daily Targum is not responsible for typos.
TERMS & CONDITIONSPayment is due prior to run date until credit has been established. Accounts desiring credit must submit a credit application and be approved by our accounting department before credit can be extended. Please allow 5 to 10 business days for processing.
Billing terms are net amount due and are payable within 30 days of billing date.
Accounts with balances of 90 or more days overdue will be sent to a collections agency at the discretion of the collections department. Advertisers will pay all costs incurred by The Daily Targum from the collections process.
There will be a $30.00 service charge on all bounced checks.
All rates are net (non-commissionable).
The placing of any matter for publication in The Daily Targum will be regarded as acceptance of all the provisions in the media kit.
The Daily Targum is not responsible for typographical errors that do not lessen the value of the advertisement.
We reserve the right to reject or edit any advertisement that does not comply with the policies and judgment of the newspaper.
Any changes or cancellations must be made prior to the advertising deadline.
No adjustments or refunds will be given for changes or cancellations requested after deadline.
