MATERIAL ON DISK: All advertising material is to be supplied on disc and must be accompanied by a colour printout of the advertisement and all necessary fonts required for output (ie. SCREEN and PRINTER fonts). UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL SEPARATED PRINTING FILM BE ACCEPTED. THE PRINTING PROCESS DOES NOT ALLOW THE USE OF SEPARATED PRINTING FILM. To ensure correct output of your advertisement, only MACINTOSH FILES created from, or using the following programs can be accepted:
QUARKXPRESS: ensure your files are in separated CMYK mode when creating colours and that 'process separation' is selected from the 'edit colour' menu. Please delete all unused colours from the file.
ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR: Please ensure that if fonts are not converted to outlines, the appropriate fonts are supplied. Please delete all unused colours from the file.
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP: Files should be in grayscale or CMYK mode (RGB not accepted) and the resolution of the image is at 300 dpi at 100% output size, with the exception of bitmap files or black & white line art which should be at 600 dpi at 100% output size.
PC ARTWORK: If MACINTOSH files are not achievable, we will accept high resolution (300 dpi) at 100% output size TIF, JPEG or EPS (rasterised or vector) files. If vector based EPS files, please outline all fonts.
IMAGES/ILLUSTRATIONS/SCANS: Colours created in all documents from the above programs must be made up of Process Colours (ie. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black). Please delete all UNUSED colours from the file. PLEASE NOTE: Spot Colour refers to use of a Process Colour not a PMS (Pantone) Colour.
FILE COMPRESSION: Please try to avoid compressing any files, but if compressed files are supplied please include the necessary software to decompress them.
DISK TYPES: Please supply your advertisement on a MACINTOSH format CD-ROM or MACINTOSH format Zip cartridge (100 or 250Mb). Any disks that need to be returned will be done so at additional postage costs upon completion of printing.
COPY DEADLINES: All files are required four weeks prior to publication date. All advertising received after the deadline will incur a 50% surcharge.
COLOUR PROOFS: A colour printout must accompany your material. No responsibility will be taken if a colour proof is not supplied. If we are required to produce a colour proof the charge is $120.
AUTHOR'S CORRECTIONS: Minor changes are acceptable but complete rewrites or extensive style changes will incur a 50% surcharge.
DOUBLE PAGE SPREADS: To ensure complete readability, please avoid placing any text inside a 30mm gutter (down the centre) of the advertisement. No responsibility is accepted for lack of readability in advertisements that do not allow for this.
LOOSE INSERTS: All loose inserts MUST NOT exceed 200(w) mm x 290(h) mm. Any inserts that exceed these dimensions will be folded and a charge levied.
NOVELTY INSERTS: Inserts that carry some kind of novelty, affixed or glued to a page, must be presented to the publisher for inspection. Some contravene postal regulations, others present significant handling problems.
