Copyright Release
With the use of the Big Star Graphix & Productions, Inc. website and of the Big Star Graphix & Productions, Inc. custom print service, the Customer acknowledges that the Customer is the legal owner and/or licensee of all submitted artwork to Big Star Graphix & Productions, Inc. and relinquishes Big Star Graphix & Productions, Inc. of any legal liability related to copyright violation and/or infringement. The customer assumes sole responsibility and liability of all submitted artwork to Big Star Graphix & Productions, Inc..
Color Accuracy
Big Star Graphix & Productions, Inc. is a gang run printer. This means jobs are printed on a large sheet with many other jobs. We will reproduce color from submitted transparencies/slides, photos, or digital layouts as closely as possible, but cannot exactly match color and density (as viewed in a 5000K light booth) because of limitations in the printing process, as well as neighboring image ink requirements. For the same reasons, color from the same digital files will vary from press run to press run. The accuracy of each color reproduction is guaranteed to be within a plus/minus tolerance of 7% to targets set on our presses. We make no guarantees of color relative to processes not within our control, such as customer monitors, color print outs, supplied printed samples, etc. We accept no responsibility for color variations between submitted images and the actual artwork or product they represent.
Additionally, colors will vary depending on the paper stock indicated in each product, as the brightness and tone of each type of stock varies. On uncoated papers, colors will generally be darker than on coated papers.
Custom color matching is available at an additional charge.
