Digital Materials for Ads
Pages supplied should be prepared as InDesign composite 4-color single-page/spreads based
CMYK document collected with all images and PostScript Type 1 fonts used. Vector graphics
should be prepared as Illustrator EPS file with letterings outlined.
Digital Photos and ICC profiles
Digital photo images should contain enough pixels to fit 100% final size in 350 dpi minimum
resolution.
Resolution of up to 400 dpi is recommended for the maximum image quality.
Preferable working color space is ISO coated V2 (FOGRA 39L) with total ink coverage of 320-
340% for sheet-fed jobs like Covers and Inserts, and 260-280% for WEB jobs like main book
signatures.
If some images were prepared for another color space, like SWOP, - appropriate notification for
such images, or files is requested with complimentary input ICC color profile either embedded, or
provided.
In order to closely match actual printing conditions we simulate on our internal proofs real paper
white point.
Hard Copy Proofs
Proofs must be produced from the final files supplied for printing. We require 100% final size;
customer approved Digital Cromalin or EPSON-GMG proofs. Other type of digital proofs produced
by professional market devices can be supplied upon the agreement. In the case of a proof
absence any other color control hard copy in final 100% size is needed.
Design Considerations
Bleeds: all bleeds should have at least 4 mm extra space for all sides.
Trims: no important elements should be placed closer than 5 mm to the page border and 10 mm to
spine.
Minimal readable type size: 6 points (*Recommend 8 points). Thin elements and type smaller
than 10pt (*Recommend 12 points) should be produced in one color only to guarantee registration
and clarity. Negative type is recommended to be of 8pt minimal size.
Black details: text and elements should be of 100% black color. For large solid rich black elements
an additional tint of 50% cyan, 40% magenta and 40% yellow could be added to the regular
black. Black text and elements should be an overprint only.
Binding tolerance: lines, banners and images running across the spine area may not align exactly
due to folding variances (3 mm in any direction).
Text that read across the spread needs to be at least 5 mm clear of the gutter.
Single pages of spreading images with important details in spine area should be moved apart from
the gutter either up to 3 mm in both directions (to the left and to the right), or up to 6 mm in just one
direction (to the left, or to the right) outside the spine.
Advertising pages: should obligatory contain a readable text mark “REKLAMA” in Russian
language, identifying advertising content. Advertising text on the layout should be translated into
Russian except for registered marks and trade marks only.
