General Information

Any original media (discs, pictures, slides, proofs, etc.) are non-returnable and become our property unless pre-arrangements are made. Original hardcopy or electronic art files are supplied at your own risk. We do not accept responsibility for damage to or loss of original art work or art files. Preferred file type is Adobe PDF. We accept most other file formats. Acceptable applications for Mac & PC include (but are not limited to) Quark Xpress, Adobe PageMaker, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe PDF. Keep in mind anything other than (.pdf or .jpeg) files will incur additional charges based on our fees listed above. A properly prepared PDF file will greatly reduce processing time and error on your proofs, as opposed to working with external elements such as fonts, images, and layout files. Additional charges may apply if furnished media are incompatible with our software. We cannot guarantee consistent results if files are generated by other applications like Microsoft Publisher. For best results, all rasterized files should be converted to CYMK. All fonts must be included or embedded. Images must be flattened with CMYK in TIFF or EPS format. Proofs will be e-mailed or shipped out within 24 hours of receipt of files and order form. Turnaround time begins after receipt of final proof approval. Final approval will only be accepted in written format. No verbal approvals will be accepted. Job is considered complete if within +/- 5%. Quoted prices do not include any shipping, handling or sales taxes (if applicable). Prices subject to change without notice. All jobs require payment in full upon acceptance of order. Unless other payment terms have been previously arranged and account is up to date, your credit card will be charged upon placement of order.

Customer Supplied Proofs

For each job, the customer may be required to supply a color hardcopy proof of their job when placing their order. If the job is two-sided, folds or binds (like brochures and catalogs), then a working model (mock up) of the job is required to indicate backup, page orientation, folding, binding and page order/assignment. We are not responsible for any such errors if a working model is not provided prior to proofing. We are also not responsible for any and all errors in the customer's printing job if they select the "Run as Is. No Proof" option.

Order Approval

Customer is fully responsible for final proof and layout approval prior to the printing process. We are also not responsible for any and all errors in the customer's printing job if they select the "Run as Is. No Proof" option.

Once you submit an order to the print process you are agreeing that you are fully satisfied with the document layout and content and you accept responsibility for any errors therein. ASAP Reprographics will assume that you have verified the spelling, grammar, content and layout, etc., are all correct and it will not accept any liability for errors in a final product caused by any of the following reasons: Misspellings, Content, Graphics, Bleeds, Grammar, Damaged Fonts, Small Fonts, Orientation of Files, Punctuation, Wrong Cuts, Incorrect or Missing Folds, Finished Product Size.

Color Proof Accuracy

Please note that although color digital printed proofs supplied to the customer are highly calibrated and very accurate, they cannot match the final printed product 100%. This is due to the fact that digital proofs are created in a different way than the printed piece. Because of differences in equipment, paper stock, inks and other conditions between color digital printed proofing and production pressroom operations, a reasonable variation in color between color proofs and the completed job is to be expected. When a variation of this kind occurs, it will be considered acceptable performance.

ASAP Reprographics is not liable for color matching or ink density on computer screen proofs approved by the customers. Screen proofs will predict design layout, text accuracy, image proportion and placement, but not transparency issues, density, or color including but not limited to conversions from RGB to CMYK. If you choose No Proof print as is, you assume full responsibility for the printing outcome.

Final Print Color Accuracy

All artwork or designs and images must be provided in CMYK format. ASAP Reprographics is not responsible for any color shift that occurs in conversions from RGB to CMYK color modes. ASAP Reprographics will try its best to match the gradient density of each color, but ASAP Reprographics is not liable for the final appearance of a color.

PLEASE NOTE: Our four-color printing is a CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) process color. We cannot match colors 100%. We match colors 80% - 90% based on Pantone process guide lines. We cannot guarantee a match to other batches, as the color may vary from batch to batch. Each time we print a file, colors could vary up to 15-20%.

The application of High Gloss UV Coating may affect or change the appearance of printed colors. ASAP Reprographics is not liable for the final color appearance of High Gloss UV-coated products.

Right of Refusal

We reserve the right to refuse service or products to any person or organization.

Turnaround Time

Although we make every possible effort to turn jobs around in the estimated times offered, your job may require more time due to unforeseeable or uncontrollable circumstances or finishing services added onto the job. We will not credit customers if a job runs past the estimated turnaround time. TURNAROUND TIMES ARE AN ESTIMATE, NOT A GUARANTEE!
