8 Prepress Proofs: Pre-Press proofs shall be submitted with original copy. If revised proofs are desired, request must be made when proofs are returned. Kelly Press Inc. is not responsible for errors or omissions approved by the client. The client is solely responsible for errors (artwork, spelling, images, grammar, layout, ads) missed during the proofing process or made after the deadline for receiving approval has passed. Kelly Press Inc. cannot be held responsible for errors under any or all of the following conditions: if the work is printed per client’s OK; if changes are communicated verbally; if client has not ordered proofs; if the client has failed to return proofs with indication of changes; or if the client has instructed Kelly Press Inc. to proceed without submission of proofs.
ALL PROOFS MUST BE RESPONDED TO before a job moves forward in production or gets printed.
If there is not a response, THE ORDER WILL NOT BE PRINTED! Correct Responses are:
“OK TO PRINT”
*“Needs Corrections – (No New Proof)”
*“Needs Corrections – (New Proof Needed)”
Corrections are to be made on a “Master Set,” returned marked “OK TO PRINT” or “Needs Corrections – (No New Proof)”, “Needs Corrections – (New Proof Needed)” signed and dated by client.
9 Press Proofs: Unless specifically provided in Kelly Press Inc.’s quotation, press proofs will be charged for at current rates. An inspection sheet of any form can be submitted for client approval, at no charge, provided client is available at the press during the time of make ready. Lost press time due to client delay, or client changes and corrections, will be charged at current rates.
10 Color Proofing: Because of differences in equipment, processing, proofing substrates, paper, inks, pigments, and other conditions between color proofing and production pressroom operations, a reasonable variation in color between color proofs and the completed job shall constitute acceptable delivery.
PROOFING COLOR MATCHING & PRINT QUALITY: We will reproduce color from digital files as closely as possible, but may not exactly match color and density due to limitations &/or proof type requested in the proofing and printing process, as well as neighboring image ink requirements. A reasonable variation in color between original materials, proofs and the completed order, will be considered acceptable print quality. Clients must provide high resolution images suited for the offset printing process. Kelly Press Inc. is not liable for images printing poorly due to the clients providing low resolution images. Clients must provide all full color printing images in CMYK format. Kelly Press Inc. is not responsible for any color shift that occurs in conversions from RGB or Spot to CMYK color modes. Full color jobs that contain large solid areas of black ink should have the black set up as Rich Black (call for more info). Kelly Press Inc. will not be responsible for printing a consistent, solid and rich black if client has not set up their files accordingly.
DEADLINES FOR APPROVAL: Each email with a proof attached will have a deadline for returning a response concerning the proof. Kelly Press Inc. will need approval via email or in writing by the deadline or we will NOT move forward with the job. We will NOT send follow up emails as reminders to proof your job. If the deadline is missed, it is the client’s responsibility to contact Kelly Press Inc. with any corrections or approval and your job will be moved to the end of the line of jobs in production and a new production schedule will be set. If failure to respond makes Kelly Press Inc. unable to produce subsequent jobs, those jobs will not be produced.
11 Over Runs/Under Runs: Over runs or under runs not to exceed 10% on quantities ordered, or the percentage agreed upon, shall constitute acceptable delivery. Kelly Press Inc. will bill for actual quantity delivered within this tolerance. If client requires guaranteed exact quantities, the percentage tolerance must be doubled.

Claims for defects, damages or shortages must be made by the client in writing within a period of ten (10) days after delivery of all or any part of the order.
