18.2. All artwork is printed using CMYK, unless otherwise requested by the customer. Such a request will incur an additional fee.
18.3. All orders are completed solely on the basis of the artwork and information provided to After Hours Creative Ltd. by the customer. Any additional costs that arise due to the inaccuracy of the artwork supplied will be the sole responsibility of the customer.
18.4 Artwork files supplied to us must be in strict accordance with our Artwork File Guidelines as described on the website.
18.5A Our print production is predominantly handled by combining multiple printing and print finishing technique, many of which are artisanal. The customer must accept unreservedly the technical constraints associated with this type of printing and print finishing:
18.5.1. Guillotine trimming tolerances of around 1mm.
18.5.2. Colour variations in both print and dyed coloured card stocks
18.5.3. When reprinting jobs even from exactly the same files, we can’t guarantee that the colour rendering will be identical to the previously printed item.
18.5.B Production/Finishing techniques.
18.5B1. Any media produced with debossing is done at the technician's discretion, as too much of a deboss can cause the foil to bleed around the edges and result in a poor quality finish, so we find a balance between quality of print and the level of deboss.
18.5B2. Professional execution of debossing is done solely by our specially trained technicians. We will not refund, partial refund or offer a reprint if the user isn't satisfied with the overall debossing effect on the ordered media. We reserve this right as experts in our specialty trade.
18.5.C. You accept the technical restraints of printing onto different papers and boards. These include but are not limited to ink variation on textured stocks, foil bleed on textured and thick stocks, ink absorption levels varying depending on the type of card stock, foil edge gilding on heavily textured boards, registration tolerances between different processes such as ink printing and foil stamping, bruising and indentation from the application of foil using pressure and heated metal dies, and trimming tolerances on thick card stocks. In addition, during the edge gilding process jobs may end up to 1mm smaller on each edge due to the sanding process. This is part of the gilding process and must be allowed for.
18.5.C.1 Matte Foils: After Hours Creative utilises metallic, gloss and pigment foils. We do not recommend matte foil(s) on media due to bleeding issues. If a client places an order with After Hours Creative and specifically requests matte foil(s) for foil stamping and/or foil edge gilding, on any media, we will not be responsible for bleeding that will occur. The client accepts this restraint by electing this option which does not coincide with our professional guidelines on foil grades for media we produce. Furthermore, we will not be liable for any refunds or reprints under any circumstances.
18.6.D. Foil Edge Gilding entails the process of carefully sanding down the edges of business cards and invitations, then applying foil using a heated roller. The entire process is carried out by hand, which is why edge gilded products have longer production times. Please note that, you will lose around 1mm on each edge of your business cards due to the sanding and gilding process. You accept this restraint when you place an order for foil edge gilding on our products. We will not be liable for any reprints or refunds, since this is part of the production process.
18.6. We will not be responsible when defects are present on the customers file in relation to trapping, fonts, image conversion, colour calibration etc.
18.7. The customer must be aware that the representation of colour that they see on screen is not a true and accurate representation of what the final printed product will look like. Additionally, desktop printers or copiers will not present an accurate representation of how the final product will look when professionally printed.
18.8. We may make modifications to the supplied file where it does not conform to our technical requirements (bleed, pantone colour conversion, RGB image conversion, etc). Similarly, we reserve the right to refuse any order that does not conform to our Artwork File guidelines.
18.9. We will never be liable in the event that our technical requirements aren’t adhered to.
18.10. We recommend that to mitigate against the risks of printed colours not matching those seen on screen that our clients request a GMG digital prined proof. This will give a fair representation of how the final product will look in advance of full production. This proof may be ordered on the website for £12 +VAT.
18.11 We will make corrections on any supplied files at a rate of £85.00 per hour +VAT.
19. PROOFS
19.1. Please note that the colour of the printed item will be affected by the type of material chosen for the artwork to be printed on, as well as any applied lamination. After Hours Creative Ltd. will not accept liability or responsibility for any variations in colour or any other defects or irregularities as a result of this.
19.2. Proofs are supplied as standard. Proofs are electronically sent to the person ordering for full review.
19.3. If while performing a standard or advanced (proofing) check, After Hours Creative Ltd. discovers that the Artwork provided by the customer is defective or incorrect After Hours Creative Ltd. will notify the customer. It is the customer's responsibility to either provide the corrected artwork, or give permission for After Hours Creative Ltd. to make the necessary changes (charges will be applicable). If the customer chooses to proceed without making the advised corrections, then they do so at their own risk. We will not be held responsible for any mistakes, viewing, spelling, punctuation, contact details or layout.
19.4. Please check proofs thoroughly as once passed, all proofs are deemed correct and ready to go print and the responsibility passes to the customer. You will need to view all proofs at 100% to see the exact size of your product when printed. We will not commence print until we have received a copy of the final proof with a written confirmation to go to print, via email message.
19.5. Final proofs must be signed off by the customer in writing, and the sign-off email received by After Hours Creative Ltd. Art Department before 5:00PM, GMT, on the day that the proof was sent, in order to receive the prints for the estimated turnaround time.
