If
you follow these guidelines, your artwork can be quickly processed to film, and
then to print, resulting in fast turnaround of your project. If any aspect of
the above is not met, your project could be delayed until the problem is
resolved. The delay varies depending upon the problem. If proofs are already
issued to you and then you wish to change or resubmit a file, the charge is $50.
Note: Before printing, we intensively scan over your artwork and make any
necessary adjustments should what you submit be slightly off in size. Most of
these adjustsments are done free of charge. Proofs are then submitted to you for
approval. Proofs include crop marks and bleed lines so you can see exactly where
the edges and fold lines are.
