TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS: IL PRINT GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Iltalehti accepts only materials that qualify for newspaper and are saved into PDF format. The material has to be:

  • PDF in real 1:1 size
  • Cut without background
  • RGB or CMYK colors
  • Resolution of pictures 220 dpi                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

PDF document should be named so that the advertiser and publication date are shown in name, for example company010620.pdf.

Ad material can be made either by Mac or PC, by the most common professional graphic software (NOT word- or powerpoint). When using a PostScript file, it has to be converted into PDF by using Adobe Acrobat Distiller software. The version of pdf should be 1.3-1.4. Recommended version is 1.4 (Acrobat 6).

Fonts have to be included with the PDF document. Iltalehti is not responsible for wrongly printed fonts that have not been included in the PDF document.

If using CMYK colors, it is not possible to use 4-color black. The colors should be defined as process colors and pictures have to be differentiated to CMYK format. Total ink coverage in CMYK colours and pictures is not allowed to be over 220 %.

Screen ruling is 40 lines per cm. The raster points enlarge 20-30%, when printed on newsprint.

The ad has to be exactly the size of the booked ad space. Everything in the PDF document will be printed, which means all elements, like alignment marks, which are not supposed to be in the ad, should be avoided.

If the material is not in the required PDF format or is otherwise faulty, it will be delivered back to the maker.
