Common terms |
— We are working on PC platform. We use Windows 7 operation system.
— When archiving use ZIP, 7z and RAR archivators.
*** We don't understand *.SIT (Macintosh platform)!
— All objects used in your module (including linked images) must agree with
following terms:
CMYK (for color), GrayScale (for grayscale halftones), Bitmap (for b/w).
We accept: *.TIF и *.EPS image formats.
— Black texts must be colored with the pure black (C0M0Y0K100).
We also take *.JPG (JPEG) of maximum quality (minimal compression: 10—12
in Adobe Photoshop).
The image resolution must not be less than 200 ppi.
We don't recommend you using any images taken from Internet because of their
low resolution (72dpi as a rule).
— Along with module it is desirably to send us color printout (scaled
to 1:1), or, by e-mail, a copy of module in JPEG or PDF with a fair degree of
resolution (150 dpi ) or well-discerned screenshot, as well as your notes
(existing objects with Overprint, Pantone colors etc). We will transfer
your Pantones to CMYK color space though. |

Color |
— To get fairly proper printouts use the following settings
in Photoshop:
First, you may use the default settings in Photoshop:
Settings: Adobe RGB. RGB Color Space — Adobe RGB (1998); CMYK Color Space
— U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2.
— Or, more correct for our paper and inks (also use it as
'proof preview'):
CMYK: Ink Colors — SWOP (Newsprint); Dot Gain — Standart 30%; Separation Type —
GCR; Black Generation — Medium;
Total ink Limit — 240%; Black Limit — 95%; UCA-amount — 0%.
— Also you may download and use our
CMYK-profile
(http://www.kauppatie.com/TIL240_CMYK.rar) |

If you use page-layout software |
— As exception, we take Adobe PageMaker publications
and Adobe InDesign.
— It is necessary to send us all fonts used in your publication.
— All raster images in PageMaker must be included in publication (link
option\Store copy in publication), but not be linked.
In case of InDesign or CorelDraw, for example, all
images and fonts must be sent us separately.

linked. If linked, send all them also. |

If you use raster editor (Adobe Photoshop, Corel PhotoPaint, etc)
|
— We accept raster files in two formats: *.psd (with
layers for possible future corrections) and *.tif.
— Attention! To avoid pixelization small texts (less 10 pt) rasterized modules
should be created with 600 ppi at least. Or, we can not guarantee high
quality text reproduction.
— Don't use white text on color background if font is less than 12-14 pt.
— Please
rasterize all text layers in your artwork
(Layer>Rasterize>Type). |
