FAQ

How to order...

1. ORDER FORMS
Order forms are the best way for us to clearly understand your order and successfully send you an accurate Proof. Feel free to send us wording via email to accompany your order form.  Order forms can be found on our websites. Please note that an order received without a form could delay your proof and take additional design time.

2. PROOFS
You will receive a color proof via email within 1-2 business days. Up to three complimentary proof sets are included with each order. If additional proofs are needed, they are $40 per Proof Set. Orders with custom design work may receive fewer complimentary proofs.

Color Proofs are representative of card layout and typesetting, but not of actual printed ink or foil color.  Proofs viewed on computer monitors and/or printed from digital/laser/inkjet printers are not accurate in their representation of how the printed ink or foil will appear.  Please refer to our ink and foil swatches and album suites for a more representative color.  

It is your responsibility to carefully check all details of each proof before providing an approval. Stationery Works is not responsible for any errors or revisions after approval and/or printing, including errors introduced by Stationery Works during order set up and proofing.  Any and all costs associated with revisions requested by the customer after providing approval will be the responsibility of the customer.  

3. APPROVALS
To approve your order, please sign each proof and fax or scan and email them back to us. We will ALWAYS send you an email confirmation within 1 business day of your approval. If you do not hear from us, please contact us!

In a hurry?

4. RUSH REQUESTS
Rush requests can typically be accommodated.  Please see our Rush web page (designersfinepress.com/page/DealerResources) for current timing and pricing information.  Rush Fees start at $150 and increase depending on season, print methods, pieces in order, etc.  Please note that we will need to review the order to ensure stock and production capabilities before we can confirm the Rush processing. 

If you need a Proof Rushed, the fee is $40 per Proof Set and will be sent within 4 business hours of our order confirmation.
