Term & Condition

ARTWORK REQUIREMENTS

We require artwork files to be sent over in one of the following file formats – pdf, psd, ai, png, eps, cdr, tiff, Jpeg etc. Please make size at least 300 DPI.

We recommend a 2 inch bleed area, this ensures your text / images are not affected by the various finishing options for each product

PRINT READY FILES & APPROVALS

Once we receive artwork files, we convert them into print ready files.

We do not print in pantone colors, we convert all artwork files into CMYK format before we print. This causes a slight variance in color. Once files are converted we email you the print ready files, for you to approve.

There can be a 10-15% shade difference in print quality due to screen resolutions and printer configurations, hence this difference will be considered a good print.

Ensure you thoroughly check the print ready files. (Inc. colors, spellings & layouts etc)

You must reply to this email approving the print ready files, otherwise your files will not be printed.

We are not responsible for any delays in processing you’re order due to a delayed reply.

Print ready file approval emails received after 12pm will be considered as an order for the following day. Please confirm delivery dates with us before placing your order.

PRODUCT QUALITY EXPECTATIONS

We use large format printers, the printed products are printed to be seen from a distance of more than two meters.

So if you are looking for extremely sharp printing, similar to that of photograph printing in HD, we cannot print to this high specification. Samples of products we print are added to our website under our work.

You can see a wide range of actually printed products, if you are in doubt of how your products will look; we suggest you look through our work before deciding if we can print products that fulfill your requirements.

All finishing services are a free service and there are no warranties for their wear and tear.

Every care is taken to ensure that we prepare all products to the exact size ordered, however there maybe a 3-4 cm variance in the final finish product.

Any banners which are under 10ft in height, we will aim to print in a single piece, up to 164ft. Any banners more than 10ft in height and width will have seamless joints, using super glue. However we may need to add joints if we have printing issues on such large banners. The joints will be perfectly aligned with the design, and will be joint using super glue. Any prints with joints will be considered a perfect print.

Any products which are hemmed, and are smaller than 3ft x 5ft in height or width will not be hemmed. Both dimensions need to be more than 3ft x 5ft.

DELIVERIES & PACKAGING
