+ DIGITAL / MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS
PRINTING PROCESS : Gravure
DIGITAL MATERIAL : ISO Standard (high-end) PDF/X-1a file format, pre-flighted and validated at the point of creation by Media24 accredited clearing house software and transmitted automatically to the same clearing house hubs from where Media24 will pull the files. Hard copy colour proof at 100% generated from the PDF file. Full technical requirements available on request. Files on Disc or CD will not be accepted. Media24 will not be held responsible for complete material supplied by the advertiser which is not in accordance to our specifications.
DIGITAL DELIVERY : The two offical Media24 accredited gatekeepers are QuickCut (011)317-8000 and WebSend Digital, Greg Wickstrom (011) 781-1940 / 082 450 0143.
SCREEN, INPUT RES : Screen: 150 lpi. Input resolution: 300 dpi.
TEXT : Minimum text size requirements: In cases of reversed text out of multi-coloured panels the minimum recommended type body weight should not be less than 7 point. Type body weights less than 7 point will create register problems for the printer resulting in the text printing unsharp. A further recommendation is that the supporting colours should have the text spread and the dominant colour of the panel should have the text printing sharp. Serif text reversing out of multi colour panels must be avoided. Please note that our first printing dot (tone) percentage is 7% minimum. Minimum line weight is 5.
PLEASE NOTE : A standard levy of R660 (VAT excl) per full page advertisement & smaller, will be charged for the digitalising of analogue material (positives). This will be indicated as "production costs" on the advertiser's account.
