PRINTING PROCESS
Utilizing a method known as "Gang Printing", we are able to provide our clients with professional full color printing at a fraction of the cost. This process known as Gang Printing combines your short-run jobs with other jobs having similar requirements. This allows the initial production costs to be divided over several jobs, greatly reducing the "set-up and printing" charges for each customer. All work is carried out by skilled professionals, on state of the art equipment, to assure you some of the best printing the industry has to offer.
ONLINE PROOF / E-Mail
After receiving your file we will show you an (Online Proof) of your job within the same to next business day (depending on when the order was placed). The actual time will vary depending on our current workload. If we are designing your project the (Online Proof) will be sent when the design project is completed and ready to print. No order will be sent to print without your approval and authorization, so please reply as quickly as possible. Please take note that an (Online Proof) is by no means an accurate color reproduction of your final printed piece but is a final opportunity for you to carefully proofread the content and verify that the file is indeed the file you submitted for printing. If accurate color reproduction is required you should obtain a COLOR PROOF.
Before we print, all edits should be finalized, the copy carefully proofread and all design issues should be settled. We will not take responsibility for any copy or design errors committed on your part. SmallBusinessPrinting.com is also not responsible for any wrong dates or misspelled words in files submitted by customer or jobs approved by customer upon design completion.
COLOR PROOF
In full color printing the accuracy of color reproduction is not guaranteed unless a (Color Proof) is obtained, and by placing an order with us you agree to these terms. We will accept no responsibility for color variations between submitted files and the final printed piece. Under no circumstances will a reprint be honored for color variations that have occurred during the printing process if a (Color Proof) was not obtained. Note:The color proof terms apply to both customer submitted files and designs created by our design department.
Be aware that 98% of our clients choose to proceed without a (Color Proof) and achieve great results, but this in no means implies that you should do the same.
A (Color Proof) is basically a preview of how the project will look before it goes to print. This procedure is usually done on large orders. It is a full color sample made from the actual files your project will be printed from. It is an excellent but costly way to verify color information. There are millions of color variations but if your company requires a specific color, it would be a good idea to verify the color with a (Color Proof).
We will be glad to produce a (Color Proof) for you and overnight it to you for your approval. A (Color Proof) usually delays a project an average of 72 business hours. Overnight shipping fees not applied. Be aware it usually takes several (Color Proofs) to correct color discrepancies. Additional (Color Proofs) will be billed at a 30% Discount.
