Colour Deviations
In spite of the most modern printing machines, there may be slight colour deviations. The print result is dependent on very many factors, including the character of the paper of individual manufacturers, e.g. the degree of whiteness, the grain direction and/or whether it is gloss or matt; climatic conditions at the printing site, such as temperature and air humidity. Should colour deviations within the tolerance range arise for reasons of this sort, then due to the way our system works – the fullest use to capacity of our formes and machines – this will not constitute a reason for complaint, if in any doubt PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM US.
Registration Marks
In multi-coloured products, the register marks guarantee that individual colours are overprinted accurately.
