Production

The preferred format is high resolution PDF, EPS, TIFF or JPEG to a minimum of 300 dpi. PLEASE ENSURE that all colours and colour pictures are set to CMYK as responsibility cannot be accepted for RGB files. If you can only supply a Microsoft Office file (which includes Word, Publisher and PowerPoint), we require high resolution copies of any pictures, logos etc and pantone references for any colours used, along with a colour proof. Adverts supplied in this format have to be re-set by our artwork department and therefore a fixed fee of £50 will be charged. We cannot be held responsible for any errors, although every care will be taken to avoid them.
