3. ORDERING

All orders must be placed through our website at Peninsulaprint.

We do not accept telephone orders or requests for prices via the telephone.

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 format with a minimum 300dpi resolution.

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, and 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.

Variations may also exist due to the nature of the paper or lamination chosen.

Uncoated stocks have an inherent limitation in performance as increased dot gain may make the image slightly darker, 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 minimize these issues, but we cannot guarantee the performance of these papers if we provide reasonable care in producing the final product.

If a colour match is required for consistency with other products, a printed sample MUST be supplied to us, as we do not hold samples of previous work.

If you need to colour match more than one job, for each job you will 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.

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%.

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, and supplied artwork will proceed to print.

Our business cards are sized to 85mmx55mm as standard.

All artwork for business cards will be scaled to this size.

If a non-standard size is required, please email [email protected] 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.

‘Cracking’  is normal for folded paper, card and Spot UV jobs.

If the job requires that a solid colour be printed along the fold, the impact of the cracking can be amplified.

We recommend that, in the case of solid folded colours, a lamination should be used.

We are not liable for ‘cracking’, particularly if the paper and card is not laminated.

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 [email protected] for a specific price.

3.1.9 Design Flaws

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 attract an additional cost, which MUST be agreed before the order is placed.

3.1.10 Paper Weights

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

3.2 DELIVERY

3.2.1 Delivery Dates

We will make every reasonable effort to meet our scheduled ship dates.

Our shipping dates are estimates, not guarantees.

There are times, in a production environment, that we may be unable to meet our scheduled ship date.

We do not accept responsibility for missed ship dates.

We do not accept responsibility for loss suffered due to missed shipment dates.

3.2.2 Turnaround Time (TAT)

Turnaround Time (TAT) starts from the date of APPROVAL of artwork and ends at the date of DISPATCH and 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 5pm, with the exception of 1 day TAT, which is 3pm.

By way of example, if artwork is APPROVED on Monday, before 5pm on a three day TAT, it will be dispatched on Thursday.

Similarly, if it is APPROVED on Monday before 3pm on a one day TAT, it will dispatch on Tuesday.

If artwork is approved on Thursday for a five day TAT, it will be dispatched on the following Thursday.

If, subsequent to placing an order, a faster TAT is required, notification MUST be sent to [email protected] 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.

All deliveries weighing in excess of 300kgs will take 48 hours to ship as standard.

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 your jobs.

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, 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 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 Verbal Agreements

Any modification to a job instructed by a client to any member of our staff, or agreed by any member of our 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 Peninsulaprint and will state explicitly which standard contractual terms are modified by agreement.
