3.1 Printing and Artwork

3.1.1 CMYK and ‘Spot’ Colours
Artwork must be supplied to us in a press-ready PDF (font embedded) format, in CMYK with a minimum 300dpi resolution. We process jobs 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. If a specific ‘spot’ colour is required, this must be specified at the time of ordering and will attract an additional fee.

3.1.2 Colour Variations
We print to standard ink densities in a ‘ganged up’ format 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. However, if a colour match is required for consistency with other products, a printed sample MUST be supplied to us. Please note, we do not hold samples of previous work.
For uncoated stocks, while an attractive solution since they can be visually appealing, have an inherent limitation in performance. Dot gain may increase making a slightly darker image, and the paper does not retain the ink to the same degree as a coated stock; heavy ink may take an increased period to dry and some amount of setting-off may occur between pages during finishing and after completion of the finished product. We will work to minimise these issues, but we cannot guarantee the performance of these papers if we provide reasonable care in producing the final product.
You can send colour match samples so that we could match them at the press. If you need to colour match more than one job, for each job you need to send separate colour match samples.

3.1.3 Proofs
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, with the exception of business cards. The option to select ‘No proof required’ is also available on jobs lessor in value than €500, which will be sent directly to print. Please view all proofs carefully. We will not be held liable for any mistakes 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.

3.1.4 Bleed
There should be a 3mm bleed around the finished artwork. We will not be held liable for errors generated due to insufficient bleed.

3.1.5 Alignment
In order to finish and/or align your job professionally, we may need to trim jobs during the finishing process. We will proceed with a trim if the finished job dimension is altered by less than 1%. However, if the finished job needs to be altered by more than 1%, we will contact you for approval to proceed.

3.1.6 Business Cards
We do not supply proofs for business cards as stated in 3.1.3 above. The supplied artwork will proceed to print. Our business cards are sized to 85mmx55mm as standard. All artwork for business cards will be scaled to the size quoted above. If a non-standard size is required, please email quotes@quinnstheprinters.com where an additional fee may be applied to your order.

3.1.7 Folds
When paper and card is folded, there can be a small amount of ‘cracking’ along the spine and it might be less noticable on lighter stocks. This is normal for folded paper and 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 paper and card is unlaminated.

3.1.8 Booklets
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@quinnstheprinters.com for a specific price.

3.1.9 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 feasability. If design review is required, it will attract an additional cost, which must be agreed before the order is placed.

3.1.10 For operational reasons we may at times need to upgrade paper weight to the next grammage available, we will never print on a lesser weight but upgrade the grammage.

3.2 Delivery

3.2.1 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.
For selected products delivery charges of €12 apply. Please contact us for details.

3.2.2 Turnaround Time (TAT)
Turnaround Time (TAT) starts from the date of APPROVAL of artwork and ends at the date of DISPATCH from Quinn’s. It is measured in working days.
The turnaround time is selected at the time of ordering and additional charges are incurred for shorter TATs.
The cut-off for TAT is 4pm, with the exception of 1 day TAT, which is 2pm.
If, subsequent to placing an order, a faster TAT is required, notification MUST be sent to info@printdublin.ie and the accompanying fee must be paid.
The new TAT will be executed upon full payment of the additional charge. We will not accept liability for missed ship dates due to non-payment.
Turnaround Time for each product is listead at www.printdublin.ie

3.2.3 Late Expedited Deliveries
Where it has been agreed that an expedited order has failed to meet the agreed service level, we may refund the expedite fee. In the case of standard TATs, we will not discount the standard price for a missed delivery date, as stated in 3.2.1 above.

3.2.4 Couriers
We use reputable courier companies to ship jobs. 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.

3.2.5 Failure to Deliver
When your job is dispatched from PrintDublin, you will be emailed details of the courier company and the tracking number of your goods. If the delivery attempt fails, the goods are returned to us. You will be charged the cost of all re-delivery attempts.

3.2.6 Please note for pallet deliveries only:
Pallet deliveries will provide the pallet to the destination. The end recipient will need to have facilities to receive this type of delivery.
If a delivery is refused for any reason, the additional costs of redelivery will be charged to the client.

3.3 Any modification to a job instructed by a client to any member of PrintDublin's staff, or agreed by any member of PrintDublin's staff, whether in regard to the content of a job, or the performance of a job, will be on a best efforts basis and will not change the terms of the agreement reached when the job is placed.
A modification that will change the contractual basis of an order, can be agreed with a director of PrintDublin Dublin and will state explicitly which standard contractual terms are modified by agreement.

6.5 VAT
IE VAT at the Standard Rate will be added to the price of a job where IE VAT is applicable. It may be the case that a job, for example, a leaflet, becomes VAT-able after the artwork has been supplied, for example, if it is a form. To comply with current legislation, we MUST add VAT in these cases after the order has been placed. You are liable for payment of VAT before the order can be dispatched. Comprehensive details on VAT regulations can be found on the H.M. Revenue and Customs website.
We will not accept responsibility for missed ship dates due to non-payment of VAT.
