Accepted file formats

Idealog accepts PDFs created to the 3DAPv2 standard. For further information on how to create a 3DAPv2 PDF go to www.3dap.com.au/usingpdfs.htm. Idealog will not accept native application files (such as Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand or QuarkXPress).

Proofing

A final 100%-size 3DAP-approved colour proof with colour bars, calibration marks and crop marks must be supplied with all ad files. The proof must be generated from the PDF supplied. If a 100%-size 3DAP-approved proof is not supplied, faithful reproduction of the ad is not guaranteed.

File delivery

Idealog prefers that advertising material be supplied via the Quickcut validation and delivery system. By using Quickcut you are assured that your ads will meet our exact specifications and arrive right first time.

If you’re not already set up with Quickcut, by visiting the website at quickcut.co.nz you can register and immediately download the QuickPrint PDF Lite pre-flight software for free. Please note that Quickcut is a chargeable service based on the area of the ad checked and sent. If you have any questions or would like more information phone David McCarthy on 09 524-1309.

The reproduction of advertising supplied by other methods, such as on disk or via email, cannot be guaranteed. Poor quality material will be rejected.
