Ad Specs

Requirements for Advert Material:

Use the PDF/X-1a standard, alternatively high-resolution CMYK TIFF files (360dpi) if PDF is unsuitable for any reason.

Create the PDF to the exact size in millimeters.

If your ad features white space around the edges, give clear instructions as to weather a border is to be added (or not) by us.

Allow 3mm bleed on each outside edge for full page bleed adverts (so 210 x 280 => 216 mm x 286 mm).

Do not add crop marks, colour bars, or margins.

All colour elements in files must be in CMYK (no Spot or RGB colours).

Mono elements must be in Greyscale (no Spot or RGB colours).

All fonts should be embedded.

All colour and greyscale images should be in high resolution where possible (300 dpi or greater). Where lower-resolution images must be used, please upscale to 300 dpi before including.

Line art images and pixel-based representations of text should be sized at 600dpi or greater.
