Terms Of Service

Critical Color Reproduction Information

CFL Print utilizes a process of printing referred to as “Gang-Run Printing" which provides affordable four-color printing. “Gang-Run Printing" will group your job with other jobs allowing overall production costs and expenses to be shared with our other customers. Because of variances in cardstock, equipment, inks, and other conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a “pleasing color" [generally accepted trade technical methods] is to be expected with gang-run printing. When such a variation occurs, it will be considered acceptable performance. CFL Print accepts no responsibility for color variations between submitted files and the final printed piece achieved from utilizing the gang-run process. Under NO circumstances will a reprint be honored for color variations that have occurred during the gang-run printing process. If you require a more precise printed product please request a custom quote. By placing an order, you agree to all of our terms of service, policies, and conditions.

Quotes & Estimates

Pricing listed on CFL Print's website or other official digital assets are subject to change without notice. Written estimates are good for 30 days. An estimate not accepted within 30 days may be changed.

Payment Terms

All orders are prepaid. In the event the details of an order/job have been modified and an unpaid balance is created, the card used to place the original order will be charged. Charges typically will occur within 24-48 hours of the modification but can take up to 45 days depending on our current workload. Payment accounts on net terms that are not received by agreed upon date will be assessed a 21% late payment charge.

Orders

CFL Print reserves the right to upgrade the coating or quantity, at no additional charge, for any product ordered (excluding mailer pieces or unless otherwise stated in the details/special instructions). CFL Print also reserves the right to use its sole discretion in refusing to print anything it deems improper or known to be illegal. CFL Print is not liable for any damages resulting from unwitting violation of copyright laws or illegal use of trade names or slogans. The client guarantees the legal title of all matter submitted to CFL Print for printing and/or publication.

Proofing & Order Approval

CFL Print has no obligation to proof or otherwise review the content or layout of your order. Even if a customer service representative has inquired as to the attributes of one of your prior orders, you are not entitled nor should you assume that we will review any other order you place. Orders are printed in their “as submitted" form and the customer is fully responsible for final proof and layout verification and approval prior to submission to the print process. CFL Print DOES NOT make any changes on customer files. Once you submit an order to the print process you are agreeing that you are fully satisfied with the document layout and content and you accept responsibility for any errors therein. CFL Print does not accept any liability for errors such as misspelling, graphics, grammar, damaged fonts, punctuation, transparency, overprint, improper layout, bleeding, erroneous cut or fold lines, die lines or crop marks, sizing, etc. CFL Print does not provide proofs of any order unless the customer requests it as part of the order process and it is an option available for the product. If you request a proof then it is your responsibility to verify the proof against the original (and to correct any spelling or grammatical errors, etc). If a proof is requested, then your job will not be processed or deemed production-ready until you have approved the proof in writing. Please be aware that this may impact the job turnaround time.

Have a question about file preparations, print terms, or setup? CFL Print has put together a glossary of important printing and graphic design terms, templates, print specifications, and an FAQ page to help assist our customers.

All requests for changes of any kind must be made in writing to avoid mistakes.

Color Proofing

Because of the differences in equipment, paper, inks, and other conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a “pleasing color" variation between color proofs and the completed job (as determined by generally accepted trade technical methods) are to be expected. When such a variation occurs, it will be considered acceptable performance.

Title for finished work passes to the customer upon delivery to the carrier at shipping point; or upon mailing of invoices for the finished work or its segments, whichever comes first. Orders that have delivery or shipping selected will be shipped immediately upon completion. Shipping carriers visit our Tampa print shop Mon-Fri (4pm-6pm) and pickup completed orders, exceptions are holidays or if the office is closed due to inclement weather. If your order is not ready by the time the shipping carrier visits our plant, your order will be picked up the following business day. Airline cargo is handled differently, as we take those orders directly to the airport.

Workmanship Guarantee

We guarantee all orders to be within “gang run" specs and to be free of defects in workmanship. If any order does not match by generally accepted trade standards, we will reprint the job or issue the customer a credit at our discretion.

Important Information

Print turnaround is based from when production begins.

When placing an order we will print the corresponding size that is selected unless otherwise stated in the details/special instructions. (if you can not find your desired size, please pick the next size up i.e. if you want a 4×4 flyer you would select “CD Insert (4.75 x 4.75)" and note in the special instructions that you want a 4×4.

The final piece MAY be up to an 1/8th inch smaller or larger than actual order size unless exact size is selected.

The final piece MAY slide up, down, left, or right 1/16th inch to 1/8th inch in either direction. So we strongly recommend that you DO NOT use borders in your artwork.

The final piece MAY be cut slightly uneven, 0 to 10-degree shifts are considered acceptable.

When reordering, colors MAY be slightly different then original order. (unless a proof is purchased and color matching is purchased for an additional fee).

If files are submitted and do not meet our bleed specifications, CFL Print reserves the right to add a border to the artwork.

If files are submitted in RGB mode, you are authorizing CFL Print to convert the file(s) to CMYK mode. (converting files from RGB to CMYK may cause color shifting as well as other undesirable results).

If we only receive one file for a job we will assume that file is to be used for side 1 and side two is blank, unless otherwise stated.

We will NOT accept files that are emailed. All orders MUST be placed through the website.

Reprints

If for any reason we have to reprint a job, we MUST use the original files uploaded. Under no circumstances will we accept new files for the reprint.

Turnaround Estimate

Purchasing non-standard upgraded turnaround should NOT be construed as a guarantee and does not apply to any additional production. Additional production includes, but is not limited to folding, scoring, perforating, die-cutting and drilling. (please see section 23., sub category a. for more information on when printing occurs.

Print turnaround times displayed on the price calculator page are only estimates. At CFL Print's discretion, if a job does ship by the estimated turnaround, CFL Print may issue a store credit towards the customer's next order, but the customer must request this credit. The amount of the credit is at the discretion of CFL Print. Reseller accounts do not qualify for store credit. Exceptions to the issuance of store credit include, but are not limited to equipment failure/power outages, 3rd party shipping errors, and “acts of god".

Billing

Billing Penalties

Inkjet Proofs

Inkjet and laser prints are known to look substantially different than offset printing. CFL Print offers quick turnaround and low prices by printing to a “pleasing color" standard, using standard ink densities. There is no guarantee that your finished piece will match your printed proof. This is from varying results from different output devices including inkjet printers, continuous tone proofing devices, and film-based proofs.

CFL Print may change, modify, add, or remove portions of these terms and conditions at any time. Any changes will become effective immediately upon being posted unless we state otherwise. Contact us for more information on our Tampa printers policies and procedures.
