Web: We would advise against requests to download material direct from a website. Quality is often poor and does not reproduce well in printed format.

Quark XPress, Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, Adobe Pagemaker, Adobe Photoshop (For Quark XPress please “collect for output”).

We do not recommend PC files like Excel, Word etc, as material generated from word processing programs are generally not suitable for use in the printing process. These files have to be converted into Postscript® which may in the process produce unexpected results. We therefore, expect files to have been created in a recognised professional designed programme specifically for the graphics industry.

We do not recommend the use of JPEG files, however whilst we do not exclude these files, they can be used but at the clients own risk. On occasions, the quality may not appear as expected and therefore cannot be guaranteed and could be reproduced as low resolution. When saving JPEGs please can you ensure that pictures within the document are at 300 dpi.

The use of italicising and emboldening of type from the toolbar must not be used. Only use the bold or italic of the family of the typefaces used. Failure to do so may cause reflows or typefaces not appearing as expected.

Fonts must be embedded or outlined. DO NOT USE compressed or Jpeg any images within the file. All colour used must be CMYK. All images must be of the correct size and resolution.

Please use the PASS4PRESS specification which can be downloaded from the PPA website at www.pass4press.com

All material submitted must contain trim and registration marks. Adequate allowances for bleeds must be made for any printed matter that extends to the edge of the page or print area.

while our suppliers have an extensive adobe ® and Bitstream ® typeface library, please make the production team aware if any uncommon or unusual typefaces are used. To avoid any problems or delays please include all fonts, both printer and screen with the files where necessary. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that the font licensing agreements are complied with.

Continuous tones should be CMYK format for colour, Greyscale for black and white images and supplied in a single file format at 300 dpi resolution. Bitmap images at a resolution of 1200.
