Delivery of the print material
All deliveries should include the following information: applicant, sender and telephone number, size of the ad, title chosen, category, publication date and “subject” of the ad.
Fonts
Use Adobe PostScript Type 1 or OpenType fonts. If possible, avoid TrueType fonts. Do not use “bold” or “italics” features, but choose the desired thickness of the font directly in the text.
Images
Guidelines for analysis: 1/1 page at 300–400 pixels/inch
Import images at their actual size (±15%). Image compression: maximum JPEG quality.
Digital proofs
You will be required to submit a digital proof checked with Fogra V2.0 or higher. The use of this control tool is necessary to ensure the proper colorimetric reproduction of the ad. Without it, no claims will be accepted.
Verification of visual completeness
A reproduction of the advert is needed (digital proof, photocopy or fax) to check that the entire contents of the advert have been reproduced. Without it, no claims will be accepted.
Submitted files
PDF/X files with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. All fonts, images and graphics must be included in the file. Don’t forget the 5 mm bleed and the bleed marks.
