Revisions for artwork provided/adjusted by us:The client is entitled to 3 revisions per job on the initial design, after that amount there may be an extra charge, usually +-$15.00 (Z) extra depending on the job (EACH ADDITIONAL CHANGE will be charged as followed: $25.00 (Z) for flyers, $15.00 (Z) for business cards, and $45.00 (Z) for brochures). So please critique the first proof well with any changes needed and it’s always best to include all details for the initial design.

All information must be provided at the start of the job or told in advance of possible changes, this will save the chance of designs having to be revised and extending the completion time. Once the job is approved any changes will incur an additional design fee. We try and complete each client’s job as quickly and efficiently, so we request that these guidelines be followed. We dedicate a certain amount of time per client in order to give each client enough time in a day to complete their job. These fees will only be waived unless agreed upon with the designer.

Typesetting: NuWave offers up to 3 lines of text at no charge to be added to artwork or considered as full artwork, if applicable. If a specific font is required, the name of the font must be noted on PO. If we do not have the font, the client will be billed for the charges involved in acquiring the font.

Typesetting Errors: NuWave is not responsible for errors resulting from a copy that was received or approved incorrectly.

Please note our design policies: Customers are entitled to 3 proofs per design done by NuWave or otherwise noted.

Files: NuWave owns the rights to all editable files produced, we are only responsible for finished products not what it took to produce the desired materials. If these files are needed there will be an additional release charge. If any logos are wanted from the design, there will be an additional logo cost expense.

PMS Color Matching: WE CANNOT GUARANTEE PMS COLOR MATCHING. We will provide the closest match available color in CMYK to match PMS requested. PMS number must be referred on PO and included in the artwork. Table throws color imprints do not come in every PMS color.

Art Disclaimer: Due to gang runs printing process of flyers and prints exact colors and flyer and print cuts cannot be guaranteed. If your job is color critical please let us know and we will print your job with a color proof match for reference, an additional cost will apply. We are not responsible for poor quality print from images that are sent in 72 dpi which is typically images that are pulled off the web. All images must be in 300 dpi. All print jobs must be sent in CMYK and in the proper sizes, we are not responsible for resizing or editing any jobs sent to us to print. We do try and make a valid effort to proof files but in an effort to produce your jobs quickly, this is not always possible.

PRINT and Faulty Goods: All offset jobs are printed in gang runs unless noted otherwise. When printing in gangs multiple jobs are pooled together on sheets and saves setup costs, time, and paper. By doing this, slight variations in color and cut cannot be guaranteed, this is an industry standard with gang runs. It is recommended that a color match proof is ordered or that our color safe key is utilized which will allow you to have a reasonable expectation of color output. Although it is impossible to definitively match a given color, these colors are considered safe and less susceptible to large shifts in appearance.

In printing, it is possible in some cases for a few misprints. We always try our best to always provide the best in quality and will normally replace flyers that are heavily (majority) misprinted if not noticed before packaging.

For any kind misprinted or unacceptable goods, the client has 48 hours to review, contact the factory, and return ALL of the printed or faulty goods within one week. Once returned we will review the matter and determine a suitable solution or if they will be replaced. NuWave will make every effort to handle any problems with an order to the best of our abilities.
