Advertisement data
When preparing artwork for advertisements, please note the following:
• The document should be saved as CMYK, this includes all
bitmapped images, vector graphics and text.
• Any image files that are in colour spaces other than CMYK will
result in unpredictable changes to the colour output – do not
supply in RGB or use Pantone colours.
• All colour and greyscale image files should be saved at 300 dpi (120
dpcm) at the size used. Line art (1 bit mono) should be saved at a
minimum of 1200 dpi.
• Please note that many cheaper desktop scanners do not produce
press-quality results however good the images may appear on screen.
• Text in embedded vector graphics should be saved as outlines to
avoid subsequent font substitution.
• Use only Type 1 PostScript or OpenType fonts. Do not use
Truetype, Multiple Master or bitmap fonts.
• We recommend that very small type sizes (less than 10 pt) use
one or two process colours only as using small type made from all
four process colours may result in fuzzy print.
• Do not include type to print white-out of four colours if it is in a
light-weight font or smaller than 10 pt. Unless it is bold, reverse
out of one colour only.

Advertisements must be supplied in PDF format, additional charges
may be applied if material is supplied in other formats.
The creation of suitable PDFs for high quality printing requires specific
settings. Details of PDF production procedures should be documented
in your page layout software, the main points to note are:
1. PDFs should be created via Acrobat Distiller using the Press
Quality settings.
2. When saving to PostScript files for PDF conversion via Distiller,
all graphics and fonts should be embedded.
3. Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3), composite files (NOT colour separations).
4. Image compression settings as specified in Press Quality.
5. Printer’s Marks and Document Bleeds should be enabled
6. Output with NO colour conversion, do NOT include profiles.
7. A suitable Acrobat Distiller settings file can be obtained on
request.
8. Please flight check your final files before supplying them. We will
also make checks and will inform you of major problems before
going to press, but this may cause delays.
Please supply your files with recognisable names comprising:
Magazine name and month of issue; advertiser’s or agency name
and file format; eg: Nitrogen_NovDec12_UnitedChem.pdf
Quark XPress and Adobe InDesign page templates are available to
download from our website to ensure accurate sizing of your artwork.

Conditions of acceptance
These conditions shall apply to all advertisements accepted
for publication. Any other proposed condition shall be void
unless incorporated clearly in written instructions and
specifically accepted by the Publisher.
All advertisements are accepted subject to the Publisher’s
approval of the copy and to the space being available.
If it is intended to include in an advertisement a competition
or a special offer or merchandise, other than that normally
associated with the advertised product, full details must be
submitted at the time of booking.
The Publisher reserves the right to omit or suspend an
advertisement at any time for good reason, in which case
no claim on the part of any Advertiser for damages or
breach of contract shall arise. Should such an omission or
suspension be due to the act or default of the Advertiser
or his servants or agents then the space reserved for the
Advertiser or his servants or agents then the space reserved
for the advertisement shall be paid for in full notwithstanding
that the advertisement has not appeared. Such omission or
suspension shall be notified to the Advertiser as soon as
possible.
If the Publisher considers it necessary to modify the space
or alter the date or position of insertion or make any other
alteration, the Advertiser will have the right to cancel if the
alterations requested are unacceptable, unless such charges
are due to an emergency or circumstances beyond the
Publisher’s control. Every care is taken to avoid mistakes
but the Publisher cannot accept responsibility for any errors
due to third parties, subcontractors or inaccurate copy
instructions.
The Advertiser warrants that the advertisement does not
contravene any Act of Parliament nor is it any other way illegal
or defamatory or an infringement of any other party’s rights or
an infringement of the British Code of Advertising Practice.
The Advertiser will indemnify the Publisher fully in respect
of any claim made against the Publisher arising from the
advertisement. The Publisher will consult with the Advertiser
as to the way in which such claims are to be handled.
Advertisement rates are subject to revision at any time and
orders are accepted on the condition that the price binds the
Publisher only in respect of the next issue to go to press.
In the event of a rate increase, the Advertiser will have the
option to cancel the order without surcharge or continue the
order at the revised advertisement rates.
If an Advertiser cancels the balance of the contract he
relinquishes any right to that series discount to which he was
entitled previously and advertisements will be paid for at the
appropriate rate.
Series discounts apply only to orders placed in advance
and completed within one year of date of first insertion. The
Publishers reserves the right to surcharge in the event of
insertions not being completed within the contractual period.
Credit accounts are strictly net and payment must be received
by the end of the months following date of invoice. Interest
will be payable on all amounts still outstanding after that date
at 1% (one per cent) over Bank of England Minimum Lending
Rate, to be charged monthly.
Charges will be made to the Advertiser or his agent where
extra production work is required owing to acts or defaults of
the Advertiser or his Agent. These charges will be at the rates
agreed prior to publication. Complaints regarding reproduction
of advertisements must be received in writing within one
calendar month of the cover date.
Where the Advertiser has undertaken to supply inserts which
have been accepted and approved by the Publisher, the
Publisher reserves the right to charge the rate agreed if they
fail to arrive at the agreed time and place for insertion.
Cancellation or suspension of an insertion must be received
in writing by the Publisher within one month prior to the copy
closing date.
Copy must be supplied by the Advertiser or his Agent without
application from the Publisher If copy instructions are not
received by agreed “copy date” the Publisher reserves the right
to repeat the most appropriate copy.
For the purpose of these conditions, “Advertiser” shall refer
to the Advertiser or his Agent whichever is the principal.
“Advertisement” shall include loose or other “inset” where
appropriate.
These conditions and all other express terms of the contract
shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of
England.
