ian

how you getting them out?
derek

Hi Derek, inserted in local papers over the next four weeks (£14.50 per 1000). We have targetted specific areas via circulation figures.

It's a gamble and one that usually more than covers costs but we are looking at longer term; i.e. follow on business via recommendations etc.

In truth, anything that gets us noticed and brings a few calls has to be good.

Ian the £10 proof verification is to verify the file is correct and not corrupt, it doesn't verify the flyer looks ok or anything else

I paid and got a message that the file was wrong and to resubmit it in Jpeg, if I hadn't paid the £10 they would have just printed them even though the flyer would have been illegible



Mike, it does give you the opportunity to confirm that the print looks OK and confirm via a check box.

When you submitted the correct file you will have seen this.

The best file type to use is PDF/X1a which is, as far as I understand, universally recognised as the printing industry standard.

Printcarriers message below: -


"Choose „File verification“ and Print Carrier will double-check your files on the necessary requirements for a excellent printing quality (i.e. right format, size, resolution, bleeding). Therefore we cannot accept any responsibility for spelling mistakes, trimming errors, incorrect folding lines or incorrect resolution etc.!"



We had issues with an error message regarding size (which we new to be correct). We resubmitted several times and the final time no error message was received, nor though were we given the option of approval. We then called and spoke to the Swadlingcote office directly. They advised at this point that we had gone to print. This was a bit of a surprise as it was without our agreement.

I told them to hold fire as we had not agreed. They had the Graphic Designer confirm all was OK and that the print would be fine, although until the flyers were delivered we were slightly nervous.

No matter though as luckily they turned out fine.

I am trying to upload a pdf at the moment but when I preview it (before confirming the upload) it says there is no image there.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Si

It needs to be PDF/X-1a
