Proofing and Colours Matching
Electronic PDF proofs are used to check layout and wording. A PDF proof cannot be used for exact colours matching due to variations in computer monitors. If an exact colours proof is required, but not stated in the estimate, this can be estimated for separately as required. For Pantone Colours printing (Spot Colours) colours samples will be provided. For reprints of previous projects every effort will be made to match existing colours but due to variations in the print process there may be slight differences in colours.
