We
want you to be happy with your print job, so please, take the time to
prepare your file properly. We are not responsible for files printed
incorrectly when the customer provides the artwork. We will not be
responsible for any imperfections due to your images being sent to us
in RGB format. Printfirm, Inc. is not responsible for any color shifts
that may occur if file is sent in RGB color mode or any images printed
fuzzy because of low resolution. Please read and understand our Refund
Policy and Approval sections within Terms and Conditions.
We Do Not Store Artwork or Electronic Files for Future Use:
We do not store customer sent artwork/electronic files for future use
for reorders. If there is a file you would like reprinted you will need
to re-supply the artwork via our website, e-mail or electronic storage
media (e.g. DVD/CD Rom, Flash Disc). We only store artwork that we have
custom designed for future use for reorders.
We Require RGB-to-CMYK Conversion of Your Images:
You MUST convert all of the images from RGB to CMYK before sending them
to us. When we receive RGB images, it is our policy to convert your RGB
images to CMYK, without contacting you about the format of your
submission. During the conversion to CMYK, we do our best to closely
match the colors in your order. However, PrintFirm, Inc. in no way
guarantees that the colors in your converted file will exactly match
the colors of the images that you submitted to us in RGB format.
We
want you to be happy with your print job, so please, take the time to
prepare your file properly. We will not be responsible for any
imperfections due to your images being sent to us in RGB format. Please
read and understand our Refund Policy and Approval sections within
Terms and Conditions.
Even though monitors always
use RGB to display colors, the colors will more closely match the final
printed piece if you are viewing them in CMYK.
Proofs and Color:
If you choose from our standard selections online, you will receive an
online proof within 24 hours. You are 100% responsible for the accuracy
of your layouts. Please proofread all layouts carefully.
As
postal regulations are subject to change, you are also 100% responsible
for complying with current mailing restrictions for postcard backside
layouts. Check with your local Post Office.
Printfirm,
Inc. will reproduce color from submitted transparencies, slides,
photos, or digital layouts as closely as possible, but cannot exactly
match color and density because of limitations in the printing process,
as well as neighboring image ink requirements.
We do
not guarantee the accuracy of color reproduction from digital files. We
accept no responsibility for color variations between submitted images
and the actual artwork or product they represent.
