Terms and Conditions of Order
By placing an order with Print Fast.ca,, you agree to be bound by the following
terms and conditions. By registering online and by placing any orders
thereafter you agree to accept all terms and conditions of this agreement and
create a legally binding contract with Print Fast.ca, for printing services,
and will be responsible for payment in full as outlined in this agreement. If
you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, do not use any portion of this
site.
Printing & Cutting
All orders are "gang printed". Print Fast.ca will reproduce colour from digital layouts as
closely as possible, but cannot exactly match colour and density because of
limitations in the printing process, as well as neighboring image ink
requirements. The accuracy of each colour reproduction is guaranteed to be within
85-90% to the press match proof we offer. We accept no responsibility for color
variations between submitted images and the actual artwork or product they
represent.
ALL files must
have a 1/8" bleed all around. A $25 fee may be charged to create a bleed if
it has not been incorporated in your files. This fee is solely at our
discretion.
Critical type
or images must be at least 1/4" from the edge of the card. Print Fast.ca,
is not responsible for type, art or images that are cut off if these guidelines
are not followed. Furthermore, it is strongly suggested that you do not use a
thin border around your print project. This may cause an uneven frame around
your card. If you desire to have a border, it should be at least 1/4"
thick.
Turnaround
Our posted turnaround times begin ONLY after an order has been
"received". Orders are considered "received" and are put
into production ONLY when the following conditions have been met:
1. An ORDER
FORM has been completely filled out online,
2. All files have been correctly submitted,
3. If applicable, the customer has approved the online proof and has given the
go ahead to proceed with production, and
4. Full payment has been received.
Please note
that our cutoff time is 12pm EST for standard turnaround products and 3pm EST
for 1hr and next day turnaround products. Production will begin the following
day for orders received after this time. Although we rarely miss production
schedules, the printing and pre-press process involves equipment which is
subject to malfunctions and/or equipment failure. We will always do everything
in our power to make sure that any production problems do not delay your job.
However, please note that ALL production and delivery times ARE NOT CONTRACTUAL
and no turnaround time can be guaranteed. No verbal or written correspondence
by anyone at Print Fast.ca,. can change that. Please try to plan date sensitive
materials timely.
PDF Proofs
Files are
checked on a first come first served basis. If a PDF proof is requested it can
take up to around 24 hours before your files are checked due to the large
volume of orders we receive. If your files are set up correctly you will
receive an e-mail with a link to your on-line proofs. PDF proofs are meant to
check for layout only and not meant to check colours. We also suggest that if
your job is colour critical, you purchase a press match proof. This proof
normally costs $70 CAD & $50 US. Please keep in mind that while we will try
our best to match proofs, Print Fast.ca, DOES NOT GUARANTEE COLOR MATCHING.
PDF proofs will
NOT be sent out
for the following formats: PSD, TIF, JPG, BMP, GIF, PCX, and PNG. These formats
are flattened where images and fonts will not change. Customers will not be
notified and production will start on these orders immediately.
Colour Matching and Proofs
To ensure proper colour matching customer must purchase a press match proof.
Customer supplied proofs are not acceptable as they are not calibrated to our
presses. Jobs without proofs will be printed following generally recognized
industry standards. Because of differences in equipment, processing, proofing
substrates, paper, inks, pigments, and other conditions between color proofing
and production pressroom operations, a reasonable variation in color between
color proofs and completed job shall constitute acceptable delivery. Please
note that your monitor's calibration affects what you see on your screen. The
colors on the printed cards may differ from what you see on your screen. Please
keep in mind that while we will try our best to match proofs, Print Fast.ca,.
DOES NOT GUARANTEE COLOR MATCHING.
