Why send original logo (artwork) files? : – With original files, the ink colors and printed image of the company’s artwork on your business card will be easier to match.

We may charge an additional fee for recreating artwork. Up to an hour of time would be used before additional charges will apply, but we will notify you before starting the additional work. We will not be held responsible for mistakes found after final proof or printing, or color variation in photos, logos, etc. dus to the four-color printing process. The colors printed from samples will also be our best educated decision. Sending us the original files helps to eliminate this problem. Having original files will speed up the production time of your order tremendously. DISCLAMER: Where artwork is recreated we may not be able to duplicate your artwork exactly in some cases, because of their complexity or because sometimes samples sent in will not allow the best reproduction. Photos will print only as good as they are sent in to us as either as prints or digital files. We assume that any images or artwork you tell us to print are approved for use by you and you have obtained all necessary releases to duplicate them. We reserve the right to not accept orders that we feel are not in professional good taste, may be offensive or if we feel that we could not adequately reproduce and print certain business card requests.
