Proof reading
The PDF proof is sent to you to check the content.
Client errors that are signed off through the proofing process are to be reprinted at the client’s expense. It is the client’s responsibility to check all copy is correct. Ensure that all text supplied is as final as possible, to save time on future amendments.
Printing/Colour
As all stationery is printed digitally it is possible that subtle colour variations can occur between each piece. This is not a fault of the design but a natural effect of the printing process. There can also be a colour variation between stock types because of the way the ink sits on the satin stock compared to the matt stock (which is slightly whiter).
Please also be aware that due to variations in monitors and also to the different print process we use, the appearance of colours and images in the finished product may vary to how they look in the proofs on your screen or to prints from other sources.
Stationery cannot be refunded or returned because of normal printing effects. We take pride in the quality of our work and assure you that all of our stationery is printed to the highest professional standards.

Guest names can be printed on invitations for an additional 50 cents per item. Please provide your list in a Microsoft Word document, ensuring you type them EXACTLY as you wish them to appear, as the names will not be edited. It is important that you ensure all spelling, punctuation and spacing is correct on your guest list, any errors supplied by clients on their lists will be reprinted at the clients expense.
