The colour on my job is critical, how can I be sure that the print will be faithful to the design?
We print in CMYK, your screen displays in RGB - there WILL be a difference between what you think you'll get, and what you actually get... Fact. If your job is colour critical, you MUST ORDER A COLOUR PROOF at the time of your order.
NOTE: Ordering colour proofs is a chargeable extra and will add at least 3 days to your delivery time.
It may be advisable to purchase a pantone reference guide, so you can see how your chosen colours will come out in print click here. Once you have approved your hardcopy proof, you will need to send it back so we can match the press run to your proof. If a colour proof is not ordered, we can not be responsible for any colour variations from your monitor to the printed job. Without colour proofing, colour variations will occur. If you need to attain perfect colour on your job, it can only be achieved by a colour proof.
