Details Concerning Color Reproduction
•Color fidelity warranted by Color Prints is consistent with industry standards for "pleasing color." We offer no guarantee of "match-print" or "match-product" color fidelity. Color Prints cannot prevent slight color drift throughout an order as it is impossible to calibrate for every circumstance; monitor, print condition, paper fluctuation or otherwise. We cannot guarantee color will match the preview or proof as it appears on customers monitor.

Color Prints is a print reseller and reserves the rights to vary package pricing and specifications due to policies and specifications of our suppliers. All earnest efforts are made to maintain standards of quality and price. We reserves the right to outsource print production to various professional print production facilities that may or may not utilize Gang-Run Printing. This refers to the specialization in supplying customers with affordable four-color printing. Utilizing this method known as "Gang-Running", this approach combines your short-run jobs with others having similar requirements. This allows the initial production costs to be spread out over several jobs, greatly reducing the make-ready charges for each customer. All work is carried out by skilled professionals on state-of-the-art equipment to assure you quality work at affordable prices. We accept no responsibility for color variations between submitted or approved files and the final printed piece. Color fidelity is not warranted by Color Prints unless it is beyond the bounds of what we determine to be inconsistent with industry standards for "pleasing color." While we strive for accurate reproduction, we offers no guarantee of "match-print" or "match-product" color fidelity. Color Prints cannot prevent color drift throughout an order. Because it is impossible to calibrate for every circumstance, monitor, print condition, paper fluctuation or otherwise, we cannot guarantee color will match the preview or proof as approved within reason.

Proofing
The consumer has the option to purchase a full-color print proof that will be printed 1 sided on business card size print for a $35 fee for each time you submit new artwork and select this option. Proofs will be an actual short run print of your job and will reflect a close proximity of final finished job. It should be noted that consideration for color shifts that is inherent with short run printing is understood. We we will not take responsibility for any copy or design errors committed that have been approved to print by you. This includes but is not limited to any wrong dates, spelling, grammar, or any other errors once the file(s) are submitted or approved by customer upon design completion. It is strongly advised that you check your proof carefully. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to ensure that all materials submitted for printing comply with any and all applicable copyright laws for reproduction.
