Approval of an Order (Proofing)

Before the commencement of printing process, the customer approval is required. A soft PDF file for the job will be sent to customers, please check the file carefully, like address, phone number, spelling and grammar, etc. Although we try to eliminate all errors during the design and typesetting, but mistakes do happen occasionally, that is why we need you do final checking as well. Please be aware that we are not responsible for any faults in the artwork after your approval. If there is any problem with the artwork, please email us immediately.
In some cases, some postscript issues, such as problems relating to transparency, gradient or overprint/knockout, could not be shown by soft PDF proof. If the artwork is supplied by customers, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure artwork has been correctly prepared for commercial printing by a person experienced in graphic design and pre-press. It is always the customer’s responsibility to check that all aspects of the artwork are correct, including spelling and grammar.
Once customer has checked and approved the proof, a written consent is required (via email). Please be aware that your reply email confirming artwork including spelling, location information, color information and all other information contained is correct and the order is ready to print. Any changes after your approve causing reprints will be at your expense.

Artwork

Any font included in any artwork supplied must be outlined. We are not liable for artwork supplied by customers where fonts are not correctly embedded/outlined.
Any artwork supplied must use CMYK colour, instead of RGB. If artwork supplied in RGB mode, it will be automatically converted from RGB to CMYK by pre-press systems. This can cause colours changes and the final outcome may appear different from the original ones. We are not liable for artwork supplied by customers where CMYK colour is not in use or set correctly.

Colour Variation

Please note a reasonable variation in color between original materials, proofs and the completed order, will be considered acceptable print quality. There may be color variations from what you have seen on screen, to the printed copy. This is the nature of CMYK printing (as opposed to RGB, which is what you see on your screen). If you print a proof on your own printer, keep in mind that depending upon the manufacturer of printing equipment, colors may vary slightly due to different ink or printer used.
We reserve the right to print any print job on offset or digital presses. It is important to note the technical limitations of digital and offset printing processes.
Please note colours reproduction can vary considerably between offset and digital presses due to the nature of Digital dry inks and offset wet inks. Digital printing can also result in a slight"wave" in the paper, this is normal and not a printing fault.
Also there can be a color variation from run to run, this may result in slight alterations in the coloring for repeat orders.
We cannot be held responsible for color variations as above, as it is beyond our control and any reprint because of such color variation is at your expense. Please remember it is your responsibility to ask a Color Variation Control or Color Matching Service before we production.

Envelopes

For envelope printing in one PMS colour, if artwork is supplied as CMYK, RGB, or multiple PMS colours, you will be requested to re-supply your artwork in one PMS colour only. Re-submission fee may apply.
For press seal envelopes, lighter printing may occur on the front opposite the fold down flap area at the rear of the envelope. Please allow for this when creating artwork.

Brochures and booklets

When folding brochures/flyers/booklets/pamphlets, cracks may occur on the folding line due to the nature of paper. To a certain extent, such cracking is unavoidable. To reduce the effect, we recommend avoiding heavy ink coverage in your design where the folding is to occur.
Please note, Due to automated folding systems there can be a folding and skew variance of plus or minus 2-3mm. Please take this into consideration when setting up artwork.
For brochures on 250gsm or heavier, the printing may at times be scored at the fold lines (at no additional charge) and delivered flat and not folded.
