Technical Specifications for Advertisements

Requirements for print PDF

  • specific format (see Advertising Formats) + bleed* 5 mm on all 4 sides
  • fonts must not be scattered (either converted to curves or part of pdf)
  • photos and logos saved in CMYK colour format without inserted colour ICC profile and direct colours
  • 300 dpi resolution of photos and logos in pdf
  • fitting points and crop marks
  • the use of a postscript file is recommended for production and Acrobat Distiller program is recommended for the creation of a print pdf

*For our clients who are unsure what bleed is exactly, we add a brief explanation: Bleed is the overlap of graphic layout across the exact format of the advertisement after cropping. It is always necessary to allow for bleed when the graphics fill the page up to its edges. The bleed must not contain any text, logo or other important information, because this part will be cut off.
