SUN & WIND ENERGY goes to print directly, without the intermediate stage of film exposure. In connection with this CTP (computer-to-plate) process, we require your advertisement image in data form. To be able to guarantee optimum publishing results in your interest, we ask you to observe the following specifications:

Data should be supplied as open files, including all necessary images, logos and fonts, or as non-separated, offset-print-quality PDF files with embedded fonts (optimal PDF/X-3). The document format should correspond to the advertisement format. In the case of trimmed advertisements, please take into account a trimming allowance of 3 mm. The PDF data do not need to include register and colour marks.

Order
For each data carrier or data transmission, we require not only the appropriate file designation, but at the same time also a precise order and corresponding printouts (in the case of colour advertisements also binding proofs). In the case of ISDN transmissions, we ask you to send us the corresponding advertisement order together with a copy of the advertisement image by fax parallel to the transmission.

Data media
Permissible data media are CDs, DVDs or ZIP media (100 or 250 MB). Both Windows- and Mac-formatted media can be accepted.

Fonts, images
All images to be included in four-colour advertisements must be saved in CMYK. Advertisements which require spot colours must be supplied as open files. All images embedded into the advertisement must be present at a resolution of at least 300 dpi. The graphics or image files from the original programme must also be included as separate files on the data media.
If advertisement data are to be sent via ISDN, please note the following points:

• The data port under + 49/521/59 55 62  is open 24 hours a day.
• Please copy all data into a single folder and assign this folder an unambiguous name (e.g. Ad from xxx, for SWE issue xx)
• Please announce the data transmission in advance by fax: + 49/521/59 55 56.
• Data sent by e-mail (yb@sunwindenergy.com) must not exceed 10 MB.

Rates for DTP work
Recognised errors in the files will be corrected as far as possible, upon request by the client and after consultation regarding the necessary work. Such work will be charged on a time basis at an hourly rate of 40 €.

Warranties
Only data which are actually present on the data media can be published. The publisher accepts no liability for deviations in texts, illustrations and colours. Colour advertisements supplied without binding proofs are printed without warranties. We assume furthermore that the files supplied to us are copies and thus accept no liability for losses.
