Digital Transfer

Data transfer

• File Name: The file name should contain the following information (in the relevant order):
  Client's name
  Keyword
  Publication date
  Colour information e.g.: clientsname_keyword_31-12_4c
• Info file: When the print documentis sentinclude a separate info file that provides information about the colour, the sender of the file and a telephone number for technical clarification.
• Send or save files that belong together in a shared director (folder).
• Check data quantity: If it exceeds 40 MB, it would make sense to check the resolution because of the long transmission time.
• Files can be compressed with Stuffit or WinZip before transfer

Files

• PDF files: PDF/X-1a:2003 or PDF/X-3:2003 or print-optimised from Acrobat 4
  (adjusted to newsprint with CMYK or spot colour setup as appropriate). For quality reasons, please do not use “PDF Writer”.
• Please do not use any non-device-specific image or graphics data, such as
  RGB or LAB. Please create the images separately according to the newsprint.
• EPS files: .eps saved files with included fonts and image data.
• If typefaces cannot be incorporated, convert text into paths/curves.
• The page format must be larger than the booked advertising space (approx.
  10 mm white space).
• Office files (e.g. Word, Excel, Power-Point) are not suitable for the printing process.

The publisher reserves the right to delete virusinfected files without this giving rise to any claims on the part of the client. In addition, the publisher reserves the right to claim damages for any additional loss it suffers as a result of
computer viruses transmitted to it by the client.Data carriers: Data carriers containing advertising material shall become the property of the publisher when they are sent to the publisher. They will not be returned.

material, it shall have no claim to compensation in the event of errors in the publication of the advertisement.
