GRAPHIC DESIGN POLICY

Our graphic design costs are based on basic design service with the customer providing us with the text, images if any and colour scheme they'd like. A customer is entitled to up to 3 proofs to make changes, extra cost may be required for any further changes. Further charges also occur if a customer decides to change said design altogether to a different layout, colour scheme etc. Any Design work carried out must be paid for regardless if a customer goes ahead with a job or cancels for whatever reason, the design fee would still be due. If a deposit for graphic design is paid and work is carried out that deposit is non-refundable as it covers the design work carried out, we can only refund design fee's if an order is cancelled and no work has been carried out.

Artwork Provided by Customer

Our printing system is automated and artwork provided by the customer must be to print ready specifications and it's solely the customers responsibility with any faults in printing if artwork isn't provided to us correctly.

Color Accuracy

AB Print and Design will reproduce color from submitted print-ready files as closely as possible, but cannot exactly match color and density (as viewed in a 5000K light booth). Because of inherent limitations within the printing process, the accuracy of color reproduction is not guaranteed. By placing and order with AB Print and Design you agree to this limitation. We will try our best to match the gradient density of each color, but we 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. We are not liable for color matching or ink density on screen proofs that you approve. Screen proofs will predict design layout, text accuracy, image proportion and placement, but not color or density.
