Logos and Pictures:
Logos and pictures should be 300dpi. If you are not sure then please attach the images separately – ensuring it is the best copy you have, preferably in the original format.
NB. If you copy the picture from your website you will find the image too poor for print and looks very blurred.
Scanning documents: This is an option however you will lose quality. If you have a good camera on your mobile phone you would be better taking a photo and sending it me in original resolution.
Colours:
Nothing to really be worried about but also not as easy as you think. Sometimes you may notice slight variations in colour from the image you are viewing on your screen to the actual printed out version. The reason being is that the colour you view on your computer monitor is made up of different colours to those used by a printing press. Printers use 4 colours – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black – CMYK Colours you view on your computer are made up of just 3 colours Red, Green and Blue – RGB.
If you must have a specific colour for your advert then please include the CMYK codes and send a hard copy in the post.
