Although KPMS print output will always match or exceed industry standards for quality printing, KPMS also follows industry standards by making no guarantee to exact color matching in accordance to CMYK industry standards for pleasing color. We will not be held responsible for the natural shifts in color shades associated with the CMYK printing process used throughout the industry. KPMS reserves the right to determine the closeness of a color match. KPMS gives no guarantee to a color match as it appears on a computer monitor as these devises generate color using RGB color output and the calibration of monitors vary. KPMS is not responsible for any color variance associated with converting submitted artwork from RGB color mode to CMYK mode used in commercial press printing.

III.Proofs

PDF PROOFS: KPMS will email you once your pdf proof is ready for viewing. You can download your proof via your Client Account Manager located by clicking on “Client Area” under Account located on the home page of this site. KPMS will not be held responsible for any errors in written or graphical content (spelling, grammar, typesetting, graphics placement, etc. regardless of who designed the artwork) once a proof has been approved for printing. It is your sole responsibility to ensure the content and placement of all design elements is correct. ***THIS IS NOT A COLOR PROOF***

COLOR PROOFS: Color proofs must be requested and will be sent to you via FedEx or UPS. We will pay shipping. Once you review the proof, you must contact us by going to “Contact Us” on this web site (verbal approvals via phone or any other source of communication will not constitute a response to a proof) and write us with your name, company name, job number, artwork/job description and the FedEx or UPS tracking number for the proof delivery with the words “This proof is approved for print” or “This proof is rejected”. Rejected proofs must include reasons and remedies you wish for us to apply. You must request another proof in the email if needed. KPMS offers one color proof at no charge for each job. All additional proofs will cost $10 plus shipping at your expense.

NOTE: The color proof process will delay the turnaround time. Turnaround time begins once all proofs have been properly approved.
