PDF production guidelines
1. Programs supported
QuarkXPress, Illustrator, PhotoShop, InDesign.
2. Document size, crop marks and bleed
Please set crop marks to given trim-size corners and allow for a 5 mm bleed to each side of the page.
Text or logos cannot be placed closer than 10 mm to the trim-size edge of the publication size. So that crucial information is not trimmed off during binding, adhesive bound magazines must also take into account the impact of the spine on text crossing the spread (normal 6 + 6 mm).
Material submitted as a back cover must allow for a possible address box.
3. Color settings
It is recommended that all colors are specified as CMYK process colors. PMS colors may yield a different result when converted to the CMYK 4-color process. To maintain photo integrity during heat-set printing, please use the following values for rich black: 100% black, 50% cyan, 40% magenta, and 30% yellow.
4. Fonts
Fokus Media Finland supports Adobe Type 1 fonts in Macintosh format. When you create PostScript/PDF-material, embed all available fonts. EPS files should have the fonts converted to outline.
Please do not use TrueType fonts. Please avoid Multiple Master (MM) fonts as RIP software may not be able to support these fonts.
5. Image resolution
Photo resolution is 300 dpi.
