Digital Material Specifications

Completed advertising material should be supplied as an .eps file with text turned into outlines, or as press ready .pdf files.

Tiff or similar bitmap images should be 150 dpi at the actual print size.

When you email a file, Winzip is helpful, maximum size is 3mb.

The Buderim Chronicle operates on an IBM compatible PC system, therefore if files are supplied from an Apple Macintosh platform, they should be saved with the correct file extensions.

Mac fonts are not compatible.

All colours should be converted to CMYK - RGB and Pantone spot colours are not compatible.

Microsoft Office documents can only be used as a brief, they are not suitable as finished artwork. If you do submit an Office document, please supply any images at 150dpi in JPEG format (with no compression). Your advertisement will be reset as closely as possible.

Microsoft Publisher can not be used.

If you have any queries about our production process, please contact the Buderim Chronicle team, we will be happy to help.
