SUBMISSION OF ARTWORK OR GRAPHICS

All files must be submitted in CMYK format, except for 1 and 2 color letterhead and envelopes. Any files not in CMYK may color shift when processed. A minimum resolution of 300 dpi (at full-size) is required for all raster art and images printed on an offset printing press. Artwork of a lesser resolution may not print as sharp and clean as desired. A minimum resolution of 100 dpi (at full-size) is required for all raster art and images printed on our solvent inkjet large format printer.

We strongly suggest that all items except for background images, be at least 1/8" from the trim line. Items falling closer to the trim line may be cut off. 1/2" - 1" for larger items. Please refer to the templates provided on our site for guidelines.

If you choose to PROCEED AS IS you assume full responsibility for printing outcomes.

If customer supplied artwork requires technical or design re-work, charges will apply at the rate of $100 per hour with 1/2 hour minimum. If customer elects to fix the files themselves and avoid these charges, our template must be used to re-submit the file. Templates are available for download at http://www.igpsweb.com/templates.html

COLOR PROOFING & MATCHING

Independent Graphics & Print Solutions cannot be held responsible for matching colors or ink densities on screen proofs approved by customers. Screen proofs can be used to help display layout, text accuracy, and image placement and proportion, but not color or density.

Independent Graphics & Print Solutions will make every effort to match the gradient density of each color, however, we cannot be held responsible for the final appearance of a color. The appearance of printed colors may be affected by UV coating or laminate, therefore, Independent Graphics & Print Solutions cannot be held responsible for final color appearance of UV-coated or laminated product(s).

ORDER PROOFS

It is the client's responsibility to review the final proof and layout of all orders prior to actual printing. Once the final proof has been confirmed by the client, no further changes can be made to that order. On orders placed with the NO PROOF option, no changes or cancellations may be made to the order after the order status is changed to Approved Work In Progress. The order is then Ready to Schedule for Printing and our automated order processing system cannot accept any changes. This includes changes to bindery and shipping. Please review the final proof carefully prior to completing your order. Independent Graphics & Print Solutions will not accept responsibility for typographical errors, errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, graphics, fonts or content. Independent Graphics & Print Solutions will not be held responsible for client errors in finished product sizes, wrong cuts, or missing or incorrect folds.

If you need to make changes to your artwork, after receiving your proof, please resubmit your files. There will be a $10 resubmit fee charged to your account. If you wish to receive a new proof, a fee of $5 for PDF proof will also be charged. For a new hard copy proof, please contact our customer service department as the price varies by product size.

OVER / UNDER

We consider any order filled within 5% over or under ordered quantity to be delivered in full.

CHANGE ORDERS

If a Change is made to an existing order that results in a credit, a Fee will be charged in the amount of 10% of total credit amount, to cover transaction costs related to this credit. A promo code for the full value of the credit can be issued in lieu of a credit, upon request and prior to the credit processing date.

ORDER CANCELLATION

Prior to proof approval, Independent Graphics & Print Solutions allows customers to cancel orders. Cancellation requests should be submitted through "My Account". We will inform you of any charges depending on the stage of the order.

Orders placed without proofs can not be cancelled once the order has been processed through Pre-press and the order status of Approved Work in Progress(WIP) has been posted. The order is then Ready to Schedule for Printing and our automated order processing system cannot accept any changes.

Cancellation fees will be calculated based on the age of the order and whether a proof was created. Age will be calculated in calendar days from the date the order was placed.

If a change is made to an existing order that results in a credit, a processing fee equal to 10% of total credit amount will be charged to cover transaction costs related to this credit. Upon request a promo code for the full value of the credit can be issued in lieu of a credit, if we are contacted prior to the credit processing date.

SHIPPING AND DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS

Independent Graphics & Print Solutions will always strive to avoid any delays in production or shipping, however, we will not be held responsible for any consequences or damages due to delayed production or delivery. Our shipment and delivery dates are based upon estimates provided by our shipment suppliers. Independent Graphics & Print Solutions will not be responsible for delays in shipments due to shipping company delays, international customs issues, weather conditions or any other circumstances beyond our control. Independent Graphics & Print Solutions will strive to ensure that all delivery schedules are met in a timely manner. There will be an additional charge if any changes to the shipping address must be made after the order is placed.

However, unexpected production or shipment delays may occur as a result of technical problems or equipment malfunction or failure. Rush charges/fees will be refunded or waived by Independent Graphics & Print Solutions, where applicable, for a delay caused by technical difficulty. However, order cancellations will not be allowed due to technical difficulty.

SHIPPING ERRORS & LOST PACKAGES
