COLOUR:
• All colours must be CMYK, Pantone Spot Colours or Grayscale. No Lab or Index colour. RGB will be converted to CMYK.
• If unsure, make all colours CMYK or Grayscale.
• Bleed 3mm where the image touches the edge of the page - this is important for trimming.
IMAGES:
• TIFF and EPS file formats are preferred, however JPG, PNG, GIF and BMP file formats are accepted.
• Images should have an effective resolution of 300 dpi. 72dpi images or images downloaded from a website are often unacceptable quality for magazine printing. Please call to discuss specifics.
• Please avoid sending unnecessarily large high-resolution images.
• Do not select "include halftone transfer screen" or "include transfer function" options for Photoshop EPS format files. Do not save EPS files with JPEG encoding - use Binary. Do not embed an ICC colour profile.
WHEN QUOTED...
• PRESS READY or FILM READY: This means your artwork must include bleed and crop marks and have all fonts embedded or supplied complete (ie. screen and printer fonts) and in a format listed as "Acceptable File Format" above. Note: a PDF cannot usually be changed in any way so they must be set up correctly to avoid extra charges.
• COPY SUPPLIED or ARTWORK SUPPLIED: This means you provide text, images, and any other artwork in a raw form with a ‘storyboard’ to show where artwork is placed. We create the design from your material.
