How do I order an Instant Reprint through djreprints.com?
From the djreprints.com home page, select "I would like to order instant, hard copy reprints". Next, click "Instant Reprints" then PRICING/ORDERING on
the left side of the screen. You'll be directed to an Article Locator page where you will identify the exact article you wish to order. After you have identified
the article you wish to reprint, we pass your request to "Rightslink", a web-based application provided by Copyright Clearance Center ("CCC"). A new "Rightslink" window opens and you
may then check prices or complete your order. The process is not a shopping basket approach. You must order one article at a time.
How will my Instant Reprints look when I receive them?
The Instant Reprint Service allows you to conveniently order hard copy reprints of articles from The Wall Street Journal, Barron's and more. Articles are created on the fly in
a computer-generated, standard format that simulates the look and feel of the original publication with the publication's logo displayed at the top. Articles are reprinted in their entirety and are formatted
to 8 1/2 x 11". Some tabular data, charts, tables and graphics are not available.
A digital version of the article is instantly sent to a commercial printer (assigned by CCC) for printing and shipment to your specified shipping address. Reprints are shipped to you via
Ground, Overnight or Second Day Air. You can order a minimum of 50 copies though this service. For bulk orders which may include customized
layouts, including graphics, contact Dow Jones Custom Reprints at 1-800-843-0008 or download a Custom Reprints order form. (500 minimum
B&W, and 1000 minimum color).

Do I need reprint permission to distribute an article from The Wall Street Journal to employees within my company?
Yes, reprint permission is needed for any type of redistribution, whether internal or external. Many companies have a blanket license for internal photocopying
through the Copyright Clearance Center's Annual Authorizations Service (copyright.com). If you don't have an annual license, you must purchase reprints or reprint permission on a transactional
basis. Information about a variety of reprint options is available at djreprints.com. You can order customized hard copy reprints in bulk (for internal or external use) or receive
permission to include the text in a corporate newsletter or email blast.
