Typeface recommendations
If the typeface cannot be output, an alternative will be used in-house.
We recommend the use of Sans Serif fonts, avoiding any finer typefaces.
For clarity purposes black type on white should be no less than 7pt
For reverse text we recommend 12pt as a minimum. Smaller, finer typefaces should be avoided as they tend to fill in when printed and we cannot guarantee perfect reproduction.
 
Important Note on text in colour adverts
Please be aware 4-colour black is not acceptable on fonts. Colour can shift and registration of type becomes more visible.
 
When preparing files for reproduction in The Irish Farmers Journal, consideration should be given to the how the paper is printed and following the above guidelines should result in the best possible output. Due to the nature of the newspaper printing process, any files that fail to meet the above criteria, cannot be guaranteed to produce at an optimum level.
