BBI Marketing Terms & Conditions

Important information about COLOR REPRODUCTION

BBI Marketing prints using a method called Gang-Run Printing. This is a process that provides affordable four-color printing. "Gang Run Printing" will combine your job with others having similar sizes and requirements. This allows production costs to be spread out over several jobs, greatly reducing the make-ready/plate charges for each customer. All work is carried out by skilled professional on state-of-the-art equipment to assure quality work at affordable prices. What makes us different from other gang run printers is the type of printing press we use. Our offset KBA press uses waterless inks. This means your order should print based on the color break down of your file and when you reprint your job the color should remain constant with if any only a minor shift.

Because of differences in equipment, paper, inks, and other conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a "pleasing color" (as determined by generally accepted trade technical methods) is to be expected. When such a variation occurs, it will be considered acceptable performance. We accept no responsibility for color variations between submitted files and the final printed piece. Under no circumstances will a reprint be honored for color variations that have occurred during the printing process.

RMA Returns

If a job is unacceptable due to defects in workmanship, we will reprint and ship out the job to you at no cost, or issue a future credit. No cash refunds are offered. Please note that the FULL original run must be returned to us and inspected. This guarantee does not cover customer errors such as low resolution images, poor photography or incorrect copy. We will make every effort to produce a reasonable representation of your job based on your supplied materials. However, note that BBI Marketing does not guarantee color matching so defects due to color matching cannot be honored. If a color proof is requested for critical jobs, we guarantee the color proof to match the final printed piece within recognized industry standards.

In the case of a credit on an order that printing has not started, a $10 processing fee will be charged for Printing only jobs and a $35 fee will be charged for Mailing Services jobs where we have already processed your mailing list. If an order is cancelled after we have sent you a proof a $35 fee will be charged.

All orders that exceed 15 business days from the time a proof is sent (including design proofs and pre press proofs), will not be refunded. An In house credit is available for orders that are in proof status and have not been printed. Design charges may apply for date or graphical changes to accommodate the delay in print.

BBI Marketing is not responsible for accidental loss or damage to media supplied by the client or for errors on supplied artwork furnished by the client. Until BBI Marketing can evaluate digital input, no claims or promises are made about our ability to work with jobs submitted in digital format, and no liability is assumed for problems that may arise.

A high-resolution color proof is available for an additional $70 on all printed material excluding gang-run items. A minimum shipping charge of $25 is required to send a proof via express air shipping. Proofs must be returned to BBI Marketing marked "O. K." or "Revised Proof Required" and signed by the customer. Until the proof is returned, no additional work will be performed.

    BBI Marketing will not be responsible for undetected production errors if proofs are waived by the client, the work is printed per the client's written or verbal O.K., or if the client did not request a final low-resolution proof. All requests for changes of any kind must be made in writing to avoid mistakes!
  7. Color Proofing
    Because of 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) is to be expected. When such a variation occurs, it will be considered acceptable performance.
    **Please note that the size of your final printed piece can actually be a 1/16 of an inch small than size ordered due to the thickness of the blade and the layout of a gang style run. **
