FAQs
Is Bleed or Trim needed in creating an ad?
For Report on Business magazine, bleed is required. Crop/Trim marks should be offset. Trapping is not needed.
How should I supply my material for publication, RGB, LAB, Spot…etc?
For ROB Magazine, material will not be accepted if not supplied in the proper colour space. See our detailed information here for specifications.
Why do I have to supply material with an ink density under 280%?
Our paper can only absorb so much ink before it causes reproduction issues. The maximum total ink density is 280% and material will not be accepted if it is over this level of ink coverage.
What kind of PDF should be submitted?
For Report on Business magazine, we need to receive press ready files, produced at a minimum 300DPI. Please submit optimized PDF-X1a files, with thumbnail preview.
