General Description
|
-
4OVER4.COM prints the majority of
its cardstock products on FSC Certified, 14-point coated cardstock.
This includes business cards, postcards, bookmarks, ripcards, rackcards,
greeting cards, hangtags. We also have a 14-point uncoated cardstock
available to print on as well. This is also recycled and FSC Certified.
We have recently added a number of new paper types, such as 16 point
and plastic papers.
Brochures, posters and booklets
are normally printed on 100 lb. coated text. An uncoated version of
text paper is also available, 70 lb. uncoated text.
4OVER4.COM also prints on 17-point
magnetic paper, as well as a wide variety of paper faced labels in both
white and mliti-colored, as well as an entire line of synthetic film
based labels such as white and clear vinyls. Please email us for a custom
quote if there is something you need that you do not see on our website.
Chances are we can print it.
Hi-gloss UV coating services are
also available on any of our products. You may select this option from
the Finish drop down menu.
If there is a custom size that
you need for any of our products that you do not see specifically listed
on our website, we CAN print any custom size for you. Please email us
at support@4over4.com for a custom quote.

Production |
- Our posted turnaround times begin
ONLY after an order has been "APPROVED". Orders are considered
"APPROVED" and are put into production ONLY when the following
four conditions have been met:
An ORDER FORM has been completely
filled out,
All files have been correctly
submitted,
The customer has approved the
online proof or the hard copy proof (if one was ordered) and has given
the go ahead to proceed with production, and
Payment information has been
provided.
If a hard copy proof is ordered,
it must be signed and returned to 4over4.com in addition to the conditions
above in order for a job to be considered "APPROVED".
ALL TURNAROUNDS ARE MEASURED IN
BUSINESS DAYS. SATURDAY, SUNDAY, AND ANY OBSERVED HOLIDAYS DURING WHICH
WE ARE CLOSED WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED PRODUCTION DAYS.
After the initial order is placed
and your files have been successfully either uploaded, emailed, or snail
mailed, a 4OVER4.COM rep will review your files at no charge. 4over4.com
will only check your files for items that would prevent the job from
being printed such as resolution, color mode, and missing fonts and
images. 4over4.com will not render any opinions regarding the artistic
quality of the job (for example does the job look good, are the colors
used clashing with each other, is type too big or too small, etc.).
If everything is OK, an online proof will be generated and an email
will be sent to you directing you where to go and view your proof. If
the proof looks good, you must call our offices to give us the OK to
continue with production and provide payment information. You can also
submit your payment information through our website. Once payment information
is received and an order enters production, 4over4.com cannot accept
any cancellations. There are also no refunds or returns after this point.
Please remember that orders "APPROVED"
by 3pm EST will be treated as if "APPROVED" that day, but
orders/files "APPROVED" after 3pm EST will be treated as if
"APPROVED" the next business day. For example, an order for
5000 postcards which meets all four conditions stated above, that is
"APPROVED" at 2:45 pm EST on Tuesday will enter Tuesday's
production. An order "APPROVED" Tuesday at 3:15pm EST will
be treated as being "APPROVED" Wednesday.
Files are checked on a first come
first served basis. Please note that due to the large volume of orders
we receive, it can take up to around 24 hours before your files are
checked. You will then receive an e-mail whether there is a problem
with your order. If your files are set up correctly you will receive
an e-mail with a link to your on-line proofs.
Please note
that your monitor's calibration affects what you see on your screen.
The colors on the printed cards may differ from what you see on your
screen. These proofs are meant only as a rough draft of the final printed
card. If this is a re-print of an old order we strongly suggest you
mail one of the old cards to us so we may try to match colors. We also
suggest that if your job is color critical, you purchase a hard copy
color proof from 4OVER4.COM. Please keep in mind that while we will
try our best to match your old card or the color proof, 4OVER4.COM DOES
NOT GUARANTEE COLOR MATCHING.
Although we rarely miss production
schedules, the printing and pre-press process involves equipment which
is subject to malfunctions and/or equipment failure. We will always
do everything in our power to make sure that any production problems
do not delay your job. However, please note that ALL production and
delivery times ARE NOT CONTRACTUAL and no turnaround time can be guaranteed.
No verbal or written correspondence by anyone at 4over4.com can change
that. Please try to plan date sensitive materials timely. |

Turnaround |
| NOTE: If guaranteed
next day, or same day turnaround is needed, please call our offices
toll free at 888-546-8374 to see if special arrangments can be made.
Exemplary customer service is our mission.
PLEASE NOTE: Turnaround
times are for printing ONLY. Shipping transit times are in addition
to the turnaround times. For example, a job with 3 day turnaround, and
2 day shipping option will take 5 business days to be delivered from
the time the order is "APPROVED".
Please see the production section above
for the meaning of "APPROVED".

Printing/Cutting |
- Please Note: We produce our postcards
in a "gang" format on 4 color offset presses. We will make
every effort to produce a reasonable representation of your job based
on your supplied materials. However, note that 4over4.com DOES NOT guarantee
color matching.
Make sure you have read any information
regarding file set up before you upload your files. ALL files must have
an 1/8" bleed all around. A $25 fee will be charged to create a
bleed if it has not been incorporated in your files.
Critical type or images must be
at least 1/8" from the edge of the card. 4over4.com is not responsible
for type, art or images that are cut off if these guidelines are not
followed. Furthermore, it is strongly suggested that you do not use
a thin border around your postcard. This may cause an uneven frame around
your card. If you desire to have a border, it should be at least 1/4"
thick.
You must adhere to all our layout
specifications. Files that do not follow the instructions provided will
delay your job and will incur extra charges. If you employ the services
of a third party designer make sure that all file submission specifications
are understood and followed.
In the unlikely event that an error
has occurred during the production of a particular job, 4over4.com must
be promptly notified of the problem. A determination will then be made
by 4over4.com whether the defect is of such nature as to qualify for
a discount, re-print, or refund. There will be absolutely no discounts,
refunds or re-prints if 4over4.com is not notified of such defect within
30 days of the customer's receipt of the job.
PLEASE NOTE
THAT IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A REFUND OR FREE REPRINT, THE ORIGINAL JOB
MUST BE RETURNED TO 4OVER4, SO THAT THE NATURE OF THE DEFECT CAN BE
CONFIRMED.

Although 4over4.com does archive
files for re-orders, please retain a back-up copy of your postcard.
4over4 DOES NOT guarantee that all submitted files will be saved. |
