COLOR PROOFING, MATCHING AND PRINT SPECIFICATIONS
Colors will appear differently from one computer monitor to another and from one printer to another, therefore the final print might be different from the one you see on your equipment(s). Standard colors are approximate and may vary. If you are looking for a more specific color, you need to refer to a PMS chart. We cannot guarantee a perfect match to PMS and Standard colors, and we are not liable for the final color appearance and/or ink density. This includes if you've paid for a match. We will in good faith keep our printers calibrated and match to the closest possible color. Any proof that we send, and you approve, will show design layout, text accuracy, image proportion and placement, but should not be relied upon for color accuracy or density. Yard Sign Ninjas does not guarantee that the colors as they appear on the screen or printer will look the same as the colors that appear on the purchased product.
Standard printing allows approximately a .75 inch no print margin. Full bleed products will be smaller than ordered size to ensure proper full bleed.
Choosing a color replacement (if you’ve chosen to use our stock colors) will be done via an algorithm, not visually, to ensure the closest match possible.
Artwork if given in raster format may be rejected, as it may not be able to be matched to a spot color.

The uploaded file of your artwork will be used to produce your order. It is the client’s responsibility to check all Virtual Proofs. By approving, you assume all responsibility for all grammar, punctuation, spelling, layout and color errors. Check your artwork carefully. Once approved, the order will be sent to print.
