Orders received before 12:00 noon will be started the day they are received. Orders received after 12:00 noon will be started the next day.
11. PROOFS. A proof is a preview of your press-ready file, allowing you the opportunity to examine and confirm layout, text, and content before the order goes to press. Electronic files transmitted over the internet can become corrupted, fonts substituted, or images changed, so please thoroughly inspect the proof to detect and correct any errors. Online “soft” proofs and “hard” proof options are available.
12. SOFT PROOFS are PDF files sent by email to the customer or a link to our server provided in an email. Please check the proof thoroughly and indicate by return email if it is “Approved” or “Not Approved.” Changes of customer files will be charged extra. Corrections of problems accidently created by Company will be corrected at no charge. If there are more than three changes it may be best for Customer to make the changes and resubmit the file.
13. HARD PROOFS are paper proofs delivered or mailed to Customer. Changes or corrections, if any, are to be clearly indicated in red on hard copy proofs. Mark proof “OK” or “OK with Corrections.” An authorized person must sign, date and return it with any original copy or samples that accompanied the proof. If revised proof is desired, request must be made when proof is returned. Company is not responsible for errors if work is printed as per Customer's O.K.
14. COLOR PROOFING. Neither the soft proof nor the hard proof is intended to be an exact color match to the final printed piece. The hard copy proof has good color accuracy; however it should be considered a close approximation. Company prints to industry-wide standards using standard ink densities. Paper brightness, paper type, applied coatings, and ambient light can and will affect color. |
