Set your document size to the advert size in quark/in design and then import your background image/any other images and type in your text in the program.

Do not use photoshop to type out text. It does not see it as type, it sees it as an image, so will rasterize it.

Could be a bad print job?

no ive not spoken to anyone about it.

I didnt think to measure it.

Do you think colour mode would make much difference?

ITs very strange tho, the text just isnt crystal clear like on alot of adverts, and i cant understand why. its a clear font too.

If you're running the ad again in the same slot, just measure it. You spoken to anyone from the paper about it?

im wondering if the advert made isnt to the same ratio size as what its being put in the paper at, that the paper person could alter one of the sides to make it fit.

that would fcuk it all up

Its not the resolution that is the issue, it is the understanding that printed size and image resolution are inversely proportional for any given number of pixels.

Yes, they will reduce its printed size, but if they don't reduce the number of pixels, the resolution goes UP as the pixel density is greater. In order to get a higher pixel density, you must start with more pixels.

No point making it bigger as they'll just reduce its size again, and you won't get any better quality - it'll just look the same

sorry guys, 800x600 was just a number for the sake of it :)

Any ideas on the textnot being clear?

So if the advert was to be say 400x600 i ought to do it 600x800?

Make it huge then reduce it to the proper size you want.


Ian

 posted on 4th Nov 05 at 19:25

800x600 is far too small.

Ive got a couple of questions here :

1)
right, ive been doing a couple of adverts for a friend using photoshop, everything seems to be ok apart from the text.
When ever i print it out, and even in the local paper, the text doesnt come out very clear.
Am i doing something wrong? it looks fine on the screen.

2) say i want to do an image with is 800x600, then i set the dpi to 300, im sure it increases the size of the image, is that correct/normal?

3) do you know what colour mode a paper would print in? im quite sure its not RGB?
