Jun 13, 2019 at 1:44 comment added Stan RED FLAG ! ! "Your client discouraged you from reaching out to the publisher" and "Your client tried to get clarification for me" push me to comment that your client is an obstacle to your success with this project. If you have not received some compensation at this point, walk away from this as if it were about to explode. The specs you have been "given" are meaningless. They are a mix of decimal and fractional numbers and nothing makes any sense. Guessing is something a professional does not do. Your client should be encouraging you to speak directly to the production people not the reverse.
Jun 12, 2019 at 23:01 comment added GerardFalla I’m um, old. This leaped our at me as being pica width and pica depth... old school news print style size definition. But stated ambiguously.
Jun 12, 2019 at 16:40 comment added Wolff Since 1 inch = 6 picas and 3.333 × 6 ≈ 20 and 2.166 × 6 ≈ 13, I think that the measurements might just be the dimensions of the ad in picas. I don't know why there's 4 decimals or what the W and D means.
Jun 12, 2019 at 15:02 comment added Stan I think it's safe to say that a pixel dimension with 4 decimal places is questionable. I don't think that a pixel (picture element) is divisible, even yet also too. Come to think of it, what does Full Color mean?
