1. Acceptance-

Payment of deposit or in full shall constitute acceptance of these terms and conditions in their entirety, unless specifically varied in writing by Printer.

2. Prices and Quotations-

Written Quotations:
Quoted prices are subject to revision at any time at the option of Printer if not accepted within 60 days of the date indicated on written Quotation.

When finished artwork is not made available by Customer and Quotations are based on written specifications, roughs, layouts, samples, dummies or printed materials provided by the Customer, any extra work or cost caused by variations between finished artwork and the original instructions or specifications shall be subject to additional charges.

Online Prices:
Prices shown online are subject to change at any time and at Printer’s sole discretion.

3. Content and Accuracy-

Artwork Accuracy:
Customers are 100% responsible for the accuracy of their artwork. A PDF proof of artwork will be e-mailed to customer by Printer within one working day of receipt of artwork files for orders placed online. Timing of proofs for custom orders will be indicated on written Quotation.  All proofs must be approved by customer by e-mail before the job will be printed. Please proofread and check color separations on proofs carefully. The Printer will not be responsible for any errors not found on proofs.

Postal Regulations are subject to change and Customers are 100% responsible for complying with current USPS Postal Regulations.

Artwork Content:
Printer reserves the right to refuse to print any material that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be illegal or inappropriate for any reason. If material is deemed unacceptable, Customer will be notified promptly and permitted to change the content and resubmit the artwork files.

Reproduction Quality:
Because of the nature of the letterpress printing process, variations in the image will occur within the printing run. Variations, such as lighter and darker ink impressions, movement in registration or deterioration of image edges and image quality are normal with letterpress printing and add to its aesthetic appeal.

Large areas of totally solid ink coverage are not achievable with letterpress printing and some mottling and variation is likely to occur in the final printing especially on uncoated or rougher paper usually used with letterpress. Upon receipt of layout or artwork Printer may suggest changes be made to artwork containing large solid areas or advise that a different process such as a combination of offset lithography and letterpress be used to achieve desired solid effect. Printer is not responsible for mottling in larger solid areas that the customer is not satisfied with if changes were advised before production.

Customers may submit their preferred image impression along with their artwork or approval of the proof.  Different impression options can include ‘bite’, which is a hard, darker impression that will usually cause an indentation in the paper surface that will be noticeable on the back of lighter weight papers; ‘kiss’ which is a light impression that often will break up and have an uneven look; or normal which is a medium impression. If the customer does not specify a preferred impression we will use our judgment as to the best way to print the project. If the customer is looking for a perfect or fine photographic reproduction then letterpress printing may not be the most suitable form of reproduction.

4. Payment-

Payment for orders will be processed through Chase services. Customer will sign a credit card authorization form. Local clients may pay via check.

Smaller jobs priced under $1,000.00 require payment in full before printing production will begin.  A deposit of 50% must be paid on jobs over $1,000.00 before printing production will begin with the balance due upon shipping.

Payment due in full on all wedding invitation jobs before printing production will begin.

The cost of printing and shipping must be paid in full before the finished printing project will be shipped. Any amount due to the Printer, which is not paid, may result in non-delivery of the order, and interest charges. Customers are responsible for any related collection costs, legal fees and interest. Returned checks will be charged a fee of $25.

Sales Tax Policy:
The Printer is required to collect sales tax on purchases shipped to Florida. If your order qualifies for sales tax exemption in accordance with Florida Tax Regulations, you must supply a resellers tax exemption form or supply a non-profit tax exemption.

Refunds & Cancellation:
Partial refunds are available on orders that have begun processing but have not gone to press. A refund will be given for the portion of work that has not yet been completed. A $15 processing fee will be charged in such cases. For orders already on the press, no refunds will be given.

5. Timing & Delivery-

The standard printing packages offered on our web site will be shipped within 10 working days of customer approval of proof. Completion of your job within this turnaround time is dependent on receipt of your e-mailed approval of your proof. Any delay of more than one day in approval of your proof will add to the turnaround time of your completed project by one day for each day your proof goes unapproved. Shipment times are in addition to our printing turnaround times and Printer is not responsible for any delays due to the carrier service.
