For Book printing: Terms of payment will be determined in a written quotation for each job.
For all other items that are not books, unless otherwise specified: A $25 fee or 10% of the total cost of your order, whichever is greater, will be charged to your credit card upon submission of your order. The remainder of the costs, including shipping and handling, will be charged to your credit card upon approval of the final proof unless other terms have been mutually agreed upon. Acceptance of orders is subject to credit approval. No work will proceed on printing until payment is made. No refunds are given once your order has been printed, unless it is determined that we have produced a product that does not meet commercially acceptable standards.
Cancellations are accepted in writing up until we receive the final approved proof. Cancellations after the proof approval will result in your incurring any charges for labor and materials up to the point when we received your written notification. If the job is already printed by this time, you are liable for the full cost. If the job is cancelled and no work has been done yet, there will be a $25.00 cancellation fee.
We require a Print-ready PDF for all items we print. Other Print-ready files that we would consider accepting are InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator or Quark Express, but these files would need to be pre-approved by Printing You Can Trust to be deemed acceptable. Files that are not Print-ready may be fixed by Printing You Can Trust, if possible, for a fee of $75.00 per hour. We would not proceed with changes to your files without your knowledge and approval of the fee.
Orders placed after 10 am CST on any business day will begin production the following business day. This is true for file pre-flighting, proofs, corrections and printing. Orders placed on Saturday or Sunday will be processed on Monday.
Turnaround time begins with the receipt of your files, either electronically or on a disc. In the event that production schedules are not adhered to by the customer, delivery dates will change. We generally preflight files for new projects and produce a proof within 1-2 business days after receipt of the order. Book proofs usually take 3-5 working days. If there is a problem with your files or missing components, we will contact you in a reasonable amount of time. If corrections are needed and another proof is requested, that will take place within the normal proofing time frame after receiving your art file. Once you approve a final proof, printing will proceed in accordance with the production schedule agreed upon in your quote.
A custom quotation not accepted within 30 days may be changed. Prices on standard products that are published on our website are subject to change at any time. Quotations are based on the accuracy of the specifications provided. PrintingYouCanTrust.com can re-quote a job at the time of file submission if the files, or other input materials do not conform to the original information on which the quote was based.
Please be sure to keep art files and job numbers in a safe place if you expect to reprint the job in the future. We make every effort to save your art files for a period of five years, but we cannot guarantee this because of the potential for computer failures, viruses, etc.

Because of differences in equipment, paper, inks and other conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a reasonable variation in color between hard copy color proofs and the completed job is expected. When variations of this kind occur, it will be considered acceptable performance.
PrintingYouCanTrust.com makes no guarantee that the color you see on your computer monitor or a color printer will approximate your finished piece printed via the CMYK process. Wide variation in color spaces, technologies and calibrations of different monitors and printers may preclude an exact match. If you submit files that have images or text as RGB, PrintingYouCanTrust will convert these images to CMYK which will cause some colors to change.
When printing on small envelopes such as our Coin, Tithe/Church Offering, Keycard/Credit Card, and also Remittance / Donation Envelopes, the printed image can fluctuate up to 1/8" in any direction throughout the run. Although we do our best to keep the fluctuation to a minimum, any envelope that has this fluctuation is considered within the realm of normal.
PrintingYouCanTrust.com normally provides customers with "soft proofs," which are electronic PDF files that show the final layout of the project, trim and fold locations and other information for the customer's review and approval. These proofs should only be considered an approximation of the final printed appearance. Your project will be produced to match the proofs as closely as possible, but are subject to standard industry deviations. Specifically, soft proofs provided by PrintingYouCanTrust should never be considered a fully accurate representation of color reproduction, due to the wide variety of hardware and software settings outside of our control.
By clicking the "Approve" button on the online proof approval system or providing any PrintingYouCanTrust.com representative with a written or verbal approval of the proof, you consent that you are providing the equivalent of an electronic signature indicating your approval of the proof. Changes after receipt of approval may result in additional fees.
PrintingYouCanTrust.com can offer hard copy proofs for an additional fee, but this is not included in your quote unless specifically listed. We cannot guarantee color matching or accuracy, even when hard copy proofs are ordered, unless a spot or Pantone color has been ordered.
