– newspapers and supplements – 180 dpi colour and in the grey scale, 400 dpi black and white graphics.

– coloured magazines – 300 dpi colour and in the grey scale, 600 dpi black and white graphics.

If the resolution of the materials shall be higher by more than 150% of the size required during thetechnological process, then during the technological process it will be automatically lowered to the level:

– 240 dpi colour and in the grey scale, 400 dpi black and white graphics – newspapers and supplements

– 300 dpi colour and in the grey scale, 600 dpi black and white graphics – coloured magazines.

5. Coloured advertisements:

The maximal total of the CMYK (Total Ink Limit) components can be 240% (cold-set) for the newspapereditions, and 300% (heat-set) for the magazine editions.

This also concerns the half-tone fragments of vector advertisements.

The graphic materials with exceeding total ink limit (TIL) above 240 for newspapers and 300 for colouredmagazines shall be rejected during the preflight process.

6. Verification

We do not reject an advertisement for the following reasons:

– using the overprint option for texts and graphic elements

– setting black graphic elements or texts from CMYK colours

– not adjusting the tonal span of the half-tones included in the advertisement to the range possible for correctprinting in Gazeta

– too small graphic elements, too thin lines, too low degree of writing for a given printing technology

of placing advertisements in Gazeta Wyborcza

ADDITIONAL REMARKS

TIPS CONCERNING THE PREPARATION OF THE ADVERTISEMENT PROJECT

Texts: minimal font size

– Monochromatic (1 CMYK colour)

One-element writing: cold-set and head-set: 6 points

Two-element writing: cold-set: 8 points; head-set: 7 points

– Coloured or in negative plate

One-element writing: cold-set: 9 points; head-set: 8 points

Two-element writing: cold-set: 11 points; head-set: 10 points

Notice: use the "bold" font for printing in the negative plate, not less than 12 points

Graphic elements: minimal line thickness

Cold-set: 2 points; head-set: 1 point

We recommend to use the smallest possible number of CMYK colours in small graphic elements or texts. Inparticular black graphic elements (or black inscriptions) should consist only of 100% "black" without additionsof other colours.Notice: with lighting and printing of Gazeta black always figures as overprint. This also concerns advertisementsin which the trapping parameters were specified otherwise. While preparing project of the advertisement pleaseconsider limitations in placing colours, hich result from that (e.g. the tint’s colour showing through the blackoverprint). This particularly concerns advertisements in the vector format, printed with the cold-set technology.PRINTING STANDARDS OF GAZETA WYBORCZA (COLS-SET AND HEAT-SET TECHNOLOGY)

(cold-set: daily and local editions, inserts on newspaper quality paper;

head-set: Wysokie Obcasy, Gazeta Telewizyjna, inserts on coated paper)

a) Moving of colours

With coloured printing with the cold-set technology with the 4+4 web maximally printed, the tolerance forcolour matching is 0.5mm. With coloured printing with the heat-set technology with the 4+4web maximallyprinted, the tolerance for colour matching is 0.3 mm. Please avoid setting inscriptions, especially with asmall degree, from several colours due to big matching problems. This often gives an effect of blurred andillegible text. Please use trapping in order to avoid the ground showing through with the matching difference.

b) Point increase

The half-tone point increase in the medium tones is up to 30%. During printing an augmentation of half-tonepoints takes place, which is biggest for the half-tone with a 40%-60% surface covering.

Particularly large point increases show for the colours "black and "cyan" - please avoid a large share of thesecolours in building the details in dark sections of the image.

c) Optical density

In case of control bars being present, the admissible difference of optical density between the tints, may beup to t = 0.3D on a proof copy.-/-

The optical density D of paint specifies the amount of paint printed on paper. The more paint – the bigger theoptical density.

RULES OF SENDING THE ADVERTISEMENTS VIA FTP

Server address: ftp.agora.plPlease log in as an anonymous user. In case of using a separate personal client FTP(e.g. included in the TotalCommander) enter any e-mail address as password.Please use the passive transfer mode.After logging in the content of the newspaper FTP server is visible. Then You go to the city catalogue (e.g. WROCŁAW OR WARSZAWA) and then:

– for Warsaw: REKLAMA, and – depending on the Seller's instructions – to the catalogue AGENCJE or DEALERand leave your graphic file there,

– for the remaining branches you copy the file on the path: OGŁOSZ

Notice: our FTP server accepts ONLY short file names in "the old DOS style", i.e. max. 8-character nameconsisting solely of letters of the English alphabet or digits, dot, 3-character extension matching the contents ofthe file. In case of failure to send the files to the server please check first the name of the file.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

of placing advertisements in Gazeta Wyborcza

1 An approximate print run of a given edition of Gazeta Wyborcza, as stated by the Publisher in the insert'sspecification, may differ by about 5% from the entire print run. The Publisher is not responsible for an increaseor decrease of newspaper print runs above or below 5% of the entire print run if this is caused by extraordinaryevents which occur locally or worldwide and are unforeseeable at the time of accepting an order.

2. After the insert's publication, the Publisher is obliged to inform the Advertiser about the number of unusedinserts, if the actual print run of a given edition of Gazeta Wyborcza is by more than 5% smaller than the print runstated in the insert's specification. In such a case the Advertiser has the right to place unused inserts free ofcharge, at a date and in an edition of Gazeta Wyborcza agreed with the Publisher. If the Advertiser decides not toplace the unused inserts free of charge, it should collect them from the printing house at its own expense, not laterthan within 7 business days of the insert's publication. Upon expiry of this time limit the Publisher will send theinserts for recycling, and the Advertiser will not be entitled, on this account, to any claims against the Publisher.

3. If you deliver inserts with parameters not consistent with the order and the insert’s specification or with ourtechnical standards, then we treat it as resignation from the order. If it is technically possible, we canundertake to provide the service under the condition that you pay additional remuneration. If it is not possible toapply your suggested changes, then it will be treated as waiving from the order conditions.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

for placing advertisements in Gazeta Wyborcza

PACKAGING STANDARDS OF INSERTS

Below we present to you the necessary information concerning the insert packaging standards.

1. The printing plants accept only Europallets (the pallet size 120 x 80 cm). The non-standard pallets are notsubject to change for empty ones. The pallets should be secured against humidity and packed in a waypreventing the packages from sliding.

2. The height of the pallet with the insert cannot exceed 140 cm;

– the inserts should also be placed evenly in the same direction in stacks minimum 15 cm high, they cannotstick out beyond the pallet outline because it can lead to damaging the leaflets during transport;

– packages with inserts should not be laminated.

3. Pallets should be secured from the top with a cardboard or wooden lid and additionally with drawstring(so-called banding); avoid a too strong banding of pallets, as it will cause the leaflet edges to bend;

– it is advisable to place V-shaped gauges securing the leaflets against deformation on the edges of pallets;

– pallets can be laminated but it should be noted that the foil does not bend the leaflet edges (too bigtension on the wrapping machine), which leads to the increase in technological losses.

4. The exact number of packed inserts (in pieces), the name of the leaflet, date of edition, title of thesupplement, scope and the total number of pallets (in pieces) has to be stated on all four sides of each pallet.An original model of the leaflet also has to be placed in a visible place.
