Color
- Color is extremely important to us as it is to you. If you have specific colors that have to be matched, they should be specified in "Additional Comments" while placing your order, hard copy or email. If not specified, color settings in your digital files will be reproduced and will be reflected in the proof and final production.
- Spot (PMS) colors can help in the design and printing process of your job, as spot (pms) colors can be referenced to a Pantone "Swatch Book". GotBigPrint.com will print as close to spot (pms) color as possible (within 5-10%). It is important to note however that all printing with GotBigPrint.com is done in the Process color model using Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black ink. Not all PMS colors can be matched 100% in four-color process.
- GotBigPrint.com will match to the absolute closest process color equivalent to specified spot color. GotBigPrint.com recommends obtaining a Pantone "Solid to Process" color guide (a great resource for all CMYK printing) that will show the Spot (PMS) and CMYK conversions side by side for you to compare the difference.
Customer Proofs
- The most important thing to note about the proof is that when you approve a proof, it means that the job is going into production. Approval of the proof is your statement telling GotBigPrint.com to "Print this job. I take complete responsibility that this is the exact design I want printed."
- Proofread all layouts, carefully checking position, type, numbers, halftones, and names. GotBigPrint.com will output your color printing as accurately as possible from your digitally created files/layouts, but may not match density and color fully due to inherent limitations in the full color printing process.
- You should use the online proof (soft proof) for object placement and spelling correctness, and to make certain that all elements of the design have been included. Please note that our online proofs are low resolution and not the actual high-resolution print file.
- GotBigPrint.com has the ability to provide a hard copy proof at a nominal fee of your final large-format output. This should be used for color representation as well as object placement, spelling correctness, and to make certain that all elements of the design have been included. If you have any questions or concerns with the proof, please DO NOT sign the proof approval, and instead contact your Account Manager immediately to discuss.
- In the unlikely event of a production error or defect, you must notify GotBigPrint.com within 24 hours after you have received your product/s and we will re-run your project at no additional charge to you. GotBigPrint.com reserves the right to determine validity of claims of manufacturer errors or defects.
Proofing Options - Additional Changes
- GotBigPrint.com requires every client to review a proof for every order. Approval must be received within a two hour period BEFORE production is started. The two hours will begin once the client has ordered their product. The client may choose any of the following types of proofs available:
- Online Proof: GotBigPrint.com generates an online proof as soon as you upload your artwork, during the order process. Online proofs give you a firsthand look at your file the way we see it, print ready. Online proofs are not color accurate as most monitors are not 100% color calibrated. There is no charge for an online proof. If for any reason your online proof is incorrect but you are certain that the art files are correct, please make a note in the additional comments field while placing your order. GotBigPrint.com online proofing engine is extremely good but not perfect, luckily our trained staff of designers reviews all files for final output giving you our "worry free guarantee."
- Actual Material Proof: GotBigPrint.com can generate proofs on the exact ordered material ordered on the actual press that your job will be produced on. This is the most accurate proofing method, however it is also the most expensive. These proofs take up to 48 hours to produce and cost $50 + shipping.
Critical Color Match/ Fine Art Policy:
- There will be a $50 fee assessed for critical color matching on all fine art. This fee will provide you with up to 3 color proofs to ensure the highest quality color match possible. Please Note: Art is subjective. Different substrates will produce different results in color and/or appearance. Art reproduction may not duplicate original work exactly.
- By customer request GotBigPrint.com can make adjustments to supplied artwork. File manipulation fee is $50 minimum and $75 an hour.
Confidential Information
- Please inform GotBigPrint.com in writing if any portion of the project, or materials or information provided is confidential. GotBigPrint.com shall take reasonable precautions to safeguard original or other materials. GotBigPrint.com is not liable for any damage to or loss of any material except in the case of willful neglect or gross negligence by GotBigPrint.com. Please note that GotBigPrint.com will not return any customer-supplied artwork or proofs unless specifically directed to do so in writing prior to processing the order.
Product Specific Preparation
- Please download the PDF file explaining in detail individual product set-up specifications, located on product ordering page. This document will explain special design elements that you may need to consider while building your files such as cut paths, extension and bleeds.
SHIPPING AND TURNAROUND TIMES
Next Day Turnaround

2-4 Day Turnaround

Artwork must be uploaded and approved by 10:00 A.M. (PST)
The turnaround time begins when the artwork is uploaded and complete. Turnaround times refer only to production. If your order completes after 4:00 PM it may not ship or be available for pick-up until the following day. We strive to release all orders as soon as completion of production allows.
Turnaround
- GotBigPrint.com will generally ship all standard* jobs within 2-4 business days. Production begins once artwork is approved (final proof), and payment is received. If approval is given after 10:00 A.M. (PST) production will begin the following workday. Orders placed on Saturday or Sunday will be processed Monday morning.
*Exceptions to standard Turnaround Times:
Large orders (quantity or square footage) may require more time. An appropriate deadline will be discussed with the customer when the order is placed. It is understood production will not begin until all artwork, changes to artwork, and approval of all artwork is received. Deadlines will be modified based on this criteria being met.
Shipment
- Once production has shipped, the client assumes the risk of loss. Insurance may be provided by customer request and will be billed to the customer. Compliance with all current Post Office/Shipping laws and regulations must be strictly adhered to.
Rush Orders
- In the event an order is needed before the standard turnaround time, GotBigPrint.com will work diligently to accommodate your needs. There will be a nominal rush fee plus expedited shipping charges added to the bill.
Oversized/Overweight Packages
- Express delivery carriers will not ship packages over 150lbs or 108" long. In the event one of these criteria has been met we will contact you to set up specialized freight services.
