Advertising in 16mm Today
Our magazine, “16mm Today”, is typically 64 pages in length, of which 12 or so pages comprise advertisements placed by 16mm traders and organisers of 16mm events. Any new trader or event organiser who wishes to open an account should first contact the treasurer, Phil Thompson, at treasurer@16mm.org.uk to provide details of trading name, name of proprietor, contact address and contact telephone number.
“16mm Today” is published quarterly, normally around the middle of May, August and November and towards the end of February. Traders and event organisers need to prepare their advertisements by the following deadlines:
-
For the May issue, by 1 April
-
For the August issue, by 1 July
-
For the November issue, by 1 October
-
For the February issue, by 1 January
Advertisements need to be supplied direct to our printers, Cambrian Printers Limited, no later than these deadline dates, using the following contacts:
-
Email for electronic copies of your advertisement: send to the Cambrian Printers graphic designer on mac0511@yahoo.co.uk. Alternatively, you can use Colin Crane’s email address of cranecolin2@googlemail.com.
-
Surface mail: Colin Crane, Cambrian Printers Limited, 21 Upwood Park, Black Moor Road, Oxenhope, Keighley, West Yorkshire, BD22 9SS. Telephone 07889 802987.
When contacting Cambrian Printers for the first time, please give them both your email address and a surface mail contact address and let them know whether you have already informed the treasurer of your intention to advertise.
The best electronic format to use for your advertisement is a desk top publishing package such as Indesign or Quark. If you cannot use this, then Word is the preferred format for text, with any original pictures or diagrams either sent by surface mail or sent electronically in jpg, tif or eps format. Please also send a hard copy of your proposed advertisement by surface mail or email a copy in pdf format.
Cambrian Printers will acknowledge receipt of all advertisements submitted by email and send you a digital colour proof for you to check before publication. Please send any final changes by email or surface mail, since telephoned changes can be misunderstood.
