Other things to note

• Pages should be produced with design packages such as Corel Draw, Quark Express or InDesign, either on PC or Apple Mac. Please note we can not accept PDF files that have been created in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher or Page Maker as the PDF files created from these software packages are not acceptable for printing.
• Documents MUST be setup with a page size as listed left, with no borders (please use full image areas).
• Please ensure that all pages have page numbers and that these match the file name number (not including front and back).
• Images should be produced with a package such as photoshop, ensuring that the colour option is set to CMYK (not RGB).
• Pages should be saved in the colour format that you want them to be printed in. This improves quality and will reduce the chance of us charging you for unnecessary colour pages being printed.
• Once complete, pages should be saved in a pdf format using Acrobat Distiller or similar. Each page should be saved as an individual file.
