- Artwork should be submitted digitally, by email to copy@frootsmag.com meeting the following specifications.
- Best practice is to supply as a single high resolution graphic file – typically a minimum 300 ppi CMYK JPEG or TIFF – that does not require font support.
- Alternatively, we can accept PDF files with:
- All fonts embedded
- All images embedded at hi-resolution (300 ppi or higher for colour or grayscale, 600 ppi or higher for bitmap).
- All embedded colour images as CMYK.
- Full page ad PDF documents oversized by 10mm on all sides and to include crop marks.
- The final file verified with Enfocus PitStop before sending.
- Always post in a PRINTED PROOF, otherwise colour matching is at advertiser’s own risk.
- Artwork supplied must be of an acceptable graphical standard.
- We can still process adverts in Quark XPress 6.5 or earlier. These should be sent to us on CDR collected with all graphics – minimum 300ppi CMYK or 600ppi grayscale – and all fonts used in the document, including those encoded in EPS files. We can not process those submitted any other page design software such as InDesign, Pagemaker etc.
- Standard word processing software such as Microsoft Word should not be used other than to supply basic keystroke text for adverts we are typesetting for you.
- Supply as hard copy. We can scan in positive prints, but NOT those containing a mixture of line art and half-tones. If you want to include photos or half-tone graphics you must submit artwork digitally or supply non-screened hard copy parts so we can scan, typeset and generate artwork for you. Please give clear and unambiguous instructions.
- We recommend using Special Delivery post.
