www.printplusni.co.uk.
You confirm that you have read these terms and conditions and agree to adhere to them in their entirety when visiting our website or by placing any order at www.printplusni.co.uk. Please refrain
from using this Website if you do not agree to these terms and conditions.
These terms and conditions apply to all our orders and are not subject to any other contractual terms defined by you, the buyer.
By using the website you are accepting that these are the terms and conditions under which the sale is bound.
We may update or vary our terms and conditions from time to time, please check for periodic alterations.
All orders must be placed through our website at www.printplusni.co.uk. We do not accept telephone orders or requests for prices via the telephone.
Artwork must be supplied in a press-ready PDF (font embedded) format, in CMYK with a minimum 300dpi resolution. Jobs are processed in CMYK format as standard. We cannot take responsibility for colour reproduction of RGB files, or files supplied outside of the specifications given. Any ‘spot’ colours will be converted to CMYK as standard.
Variations in printing can exist. We will not be held responsible for any variations in colour, either from previous products supplied by us or from work provided from a third party. Also note that variations may exist due to the nature of the paper or lamination chosen. Please note, we do not hold samples of previous work.
We will print your artwork as you supply it. We do not proof read artwork, nor do we check artwork for date validity or expiration.
Soft copy proofs will be emailed to you. Please view all proofs carefully. We will not accept responsibility for any inaccuracies in artwork, once the proof has been approved.
Please note, we do not accept responsibility for incorrectly supplied email addresses, which may result in a delay in soft copy proofs being sent to you.
There should be a 3mm bleed around the finished artwork. We will not be held liable for errors generated due to insufficient bleed.
The artwork should include crop marks. We will not be held liable for errors generated due to exclusion of crop marks on supplied artwork.
When card is folded, there can be a small amount of ‘cracking’ along the spine. This is normal for folded card. However, if the job requires that a solid colour is printed along the fold, the impact of the cracking can be amplified. Therefore, we recommend that, in the case of solid folded colours, a lamination should be used.
Similarly, Spot UV will crack when folded or creased. We are not liable for ‘cracking’, particularly if the card is unlaminated.
Booklets should be supplied in a PDF as portrait, single paged.
They should NOT be created as spreads with registrations marks.
If a landscape booklet is required, please email quotes@printplusni.co.uk for a specific price.
If there are inherent design flaws, we will NOT be held liable for the resultant flawed product. Our standard prices reflect our production performance ONLY. We do NOT provide design review as
standard, nor do we check for design feasibility. If design review is required, it will involve an additional cost, which must be agreed before the order is placed.
Delivery Dates
We will make every reasonable effort to meet our scheduled ship dates. However, there are times, in a production environment, that we may be unable to meet our scheduled ship date. Therefore, our
shipping dates are estimates, not guarantees. We do not accept responsibility for missed ship dates. We do not accept responsibility for loss suffered due to missed ship dates.
Turnaround
PrintPlusNI operate a five day turnaround on print jobs.
Turnaround for print starts from the date of payment and ends at the date of dispatch from PrintPlusNI. It is measured in working days.
The cut-off for turnaround is 3pm, if your job is urgent you can request a faster turnaround at an additional cost.
For example, if artwork is approved on Monday, before 3pm, it will be dispatched from PrintPlusNI on Friday. Similarly, if artwork is approved on Wednesday it will be dispatched from PrintPlusNI the
following Tuesday.
If a faster turnaround is needed, you must inform us when placing the order.
We will not accept liability for missed ship dates.
Please note, all deliveries weighing in excess of 300kgs may take longer to ship.
However, we will not be held liable for failure of a courier company to deliver in a timely manner and we will not compensate for lack of performance on the part of a transport company.
