PROOFS
When supplying material on disk, please provide a high-quality digital proof and full colour separations. Inkjet printers, colour lasers and other desktop printers are not accurate proofing devices. Significant colour and font variations can occur between prints from these devices and the final printed ad in the magazine. While we will accept them as proofs for disk files, we will not be responsible for colour variations or other problems between such proofs and the final printed version of the ad.

SUPPLYING FONTS
If your application has a 'Convert Fonts to Curves' option, using this option eliminates the need to supply fonts with your document. If the files are
created on PC, you MUST use this function. Mac files may retain your text as fonts but you must supply them with the document.
If supplying Photoshop files, flatten text layers and/or save as CMYK tiff files so that fonts aren't required.

SUPPLYING MATERIAL VIA EMAIL
Files under 5MB can be emailed as attachments to advertising@reiq.com.au.

Please clearly indicate in the body of the message what files you've attached and who they are from. Please include a contact phone and fax number.
