Being an online printing company, we only offer communication by email.  We do not offer communication in person or via telephone.  This ensures we can keep our prices low for all of our customers. All enquiries will always be answered quickly and professionally by email. 

Placing an order

We require payment in full prior to processing, proofing and printing all orders. If paying by credit card, on completion of an order through our website, credit card details will be immediately debited. Under no circumstances will we be held responsible for any bank, credit card or overdrawing fees that may be incurred for any transaction.

We reserve the right to change the specifications of our printed products at any time. It is up to you (the customer) to check our web page for the current specifications when ordering or re-ordering all print jobs. GLOW PRINT will not be liable for errors caused by customers not checking print specifications. 

To take full advantage of our low discounted prices ideally we require all artwork to be uploaded through our user friendly website. 

Approval of an order (proofing)

A soft PDF proof will always be supplied for all orders.  Printing of an order will never commence until customer approval of the soft PDF proof has been received. The purpose of the soft PDF proof is to allow the customer to confirm the correct file is being printed and that the trim marks are in the correct location. For doubled sided printing which is laminated on the front only, the first page in the Soft PDF proof is always the side which will be laminated.  

Soft PDF proofs may not show postscript issues such as problems relating to transparency, gradient or overprint/knockout. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure artwork has been correctly prepared for commercial printing by a person experienced in graphic design and pre-press. It is always the customer’s responsibility to check that all aspects of the artwork are correct, including spelling and grammar.

To avoid printing issues, we recommend customers consult an experienced pre-press graphic designer if they do not understand bleed or how to prepare artwork correctly for commercial printing.

Prior to proof approval, orders cannot be cancelled without incurring a cancellation fee. Once an order is approved, it is not possible to make changes or cancel the order (please see the next section: Cancellation of an Order and File Re-Submission).

Cancellation of an order

Once an order has been placed, it cannot be cancelled without incurring a cancellation fee. Cancellation of an order will incur a $20.00 administration fee for each order. The items Check My File/s & Make Press Ready and Create Artwork Design For Me, are non-refundable. We are here to work with you and understand sometimes things happen.

File Re-Submission

Artwork re-submission is not a probelm providing we haven't already started the printing process. 

Artwork/Printing

Our pre-press and design department takes great care in pre-flighting all customer supplied files. We do our very best to inform all customers of any printing problems that may occur. In saying that, we cannot be held responsible for artwork not correctly prepared for commercial printing. Should you choose to supply your own artwork, the ultimate responsibility lies with you, our valued customer. As a general rule, we recommend that all artwork be prepared by qualified graphic designers experienced in the print industry.

If selecting the option: I Am Supplying Press Ready Files, artwork must be supplied press ready and correctly prepared for commercial printing.  For further information please refer to our artwork guidelines and specifications. These can be found under the Artwork Guidelines section of our website.

If artwork is not supplied correctly prepared for commercial printing, either a 5mm white border will be placed around your artwork, or your artwork will be amended by our pre-press department to meet our requirements for you. For business cards, small stickers and fridge magnet orders, if artwork is not supplied correctly prepared for commercial printing, you will be requested to re-supply amended artwork which meets our requirements. This may incur additional re-submission fees.

 
  • For borderless printing files must have a minimum of 3mm internal and external bleed. For magazines, booklets and plastic loyalty cards, 5mm internal and external bleed is required. For carbonless books or pads, borderless printing is not possible and all pages must have the same artwork.

    PLEASE NOTE: We are not responsible for trimming variations caused by incorrect or insufficient bleed or creep. Please consult your graphic designer if you do not understand how to correctly set internal and external bleed.
  • Artwork must be the correct size and be imposed 1-up (not as spreads). For folded jobs artwork should be supplied at the flat size (for example an A3 folded to A4 should be supplied as 2x A3 pages and not as 4x A4 pages).
     
  • Fonts must be fully embedded or outlined (converted to curves) in all supplied artwork. We take no responsibility for artwork supplied where fonts are not correctly embedded.
     
  • Please do not supply artwork with narrow borders less than 5mm wide. Due to automated cutting systems and perfect PUR bookbinding there can be a +/- 2mm trimming variance. This can result in uneven borders after trimming. We do not recommend artwork be supplied with narrow borders for the above reasons. GLOW PRINT will not be responsible for varying border widths if artwork is supplied with narrow borders.
     
  • The minimum line thickness used in your artwork should be 0.3pt and all text should be at least 8pt using a non narrow style font.
     
  • The maximum ink coverage we can accept is 300% for coated stocks & 260% for uncoated stocks. If you supply artwork with greater ink coverage than this, your artwork will be adjusted accordingly, this may change the colours in your supplied artwork and may incur an additional fee.
     
  • Trapping should NOT be applied to artwork under any circumstances, as all trapping is automatically done by GLOW PRINT. We will not accept responsibility for the outcome of such files.
     
  • If supplied artwork contains ICC profiles, for best results on our ganged up presses, these ICC profiles will be removed from all artwork. For full colour CMYK printing, If you upload files that are RGB, spot or pantone colours they will automatically be converted to CMYK, this can slightly change colours as they may appear different from what is seen on screen.
     
  • For doubled sided printing that is laminated on the front only, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the side to be laminated is the FIRST page in the supplied artwork.
     
  • Two sided artwork is always backed (duplexed) up at the top of the page, artwork in portrait orientation should be supplied in portrait mode and landscape orientation in landscape mode. GLOW PRINT will not be held responsible for the backing up of artwork if the orientation of the artwork does not match the orientation of the supplied file.

Due to automated cutting systems there can be a +/- 2-3mm trimming or skew variance each side for all print jobs including PUR Perfect binding. To ensure text is not cut off, do not place important items less than 3mm from the trim edge of the artwork. We cannot be held responsible for any errors that may occur cased by artwork prepared incorrectly in this manner.

As Microsoft Publisher no longer supports CMYK Colour spaces, artwork supplied in Microsoft Publisher format (regardless of the software version), will be automatically converted from RGB to CMYK by our pre-press systems. Conversion from RGB to CMYK can slightly change colours and they may appear different from what is seen on screen.

Colour Matching

Colours may vary from day to day, press to press and during a run. Various conditions affect colours printed by the CMYK Processes and for this reason GLOW PRINT will not be held responsible for any reprint as a result of colour fluctuations and variations.

We reserve the right to print any print job on offset or digital presses. Please note colours reproduction can vary considerably between offset and digital presses due to the nature of Digital dry inks and offset wet inks. Digital printing can also result in a slight"wave" in the paper, this is normal and not a printing fault.

Check My File/s & Make Press Ready

The 
Check My File/s & Make Press Ready component of an order is deemed to have been completed when the soft PDF proof has been created and provided to the customer. If artwork changes are requested, or new artwork is supplied after the  Check My File/s & Make Press Ready service has been completed, further artwork charges will apply.

Paper

Paper is a natural product that can vary from batch to batch. From time to time certain paper or card stocks may be unavailable. Our paper is sourced from many paper mills worldwide, a variation of up to 7% in thickness and weight may occur from batch to batch. We reserve the right to substitute any paper or card with an equivalent paper type and weight without notice.

Paper weights of 250gsm and heavier with solid ink coverage's may exhibit a "rough edge" after trimming. This is a natural phenomenon and not the result of faulty trimming or printing.   If you wish to avoid this phenomenon, do not use heavy/solid coverage near the trim areas of your artwork, or alternatively, select a product with a gloss or matt laminate protection layer.

We do not recommend that coated papers be overprinted.  As such, we cannot held responsible for problems that may occur when overprinting on coated papers. Should you require overprinting, we recommend you select 100gsm laser bond when ordering.

** Special Offer** upgrades are subject to paper and production availability.  As such, these upgrades are not a guarantee of a heavier stock weight. Although we will always endeavour to upgrade **Special Offers**, customers should not order such items if the upgraded paper stock is critical to them.


Recycled Paper

We use various recycled brands of paper, often this paper, especially bond paper is not as white as comparable non-recycled papers.  if a pure white finish is required, we recommend ordering non-recycled stocks where possible. 

Envelopes

For envelope printing in one PMS colour, if artwork is supplied as CMYK, RGB, or multiple PMS colours, you will be request to re-supply your artwork in one PMS colour only.  This will incur additional re-submission fees (please see section: Cancellation of an Order and File Re-Submission). 

For press seal envelopes, lighter printing may occur on the front opposite the fold down flap area at the rear of the envelope. Please allow for this when creating artwork.  

Folding of Brochures and Booklets

Being made of fibre, paper can naturally crack on the folding line of a printing job. In certain circumstances such cracking is unavoidable. If this is an issue, we recommend avoiding heavy ink coverage in your design where the folding is to occur.

Please note, Due to automated folding systems there can be a folding and skew variance of plus or minus 2-3mm. Please take this into consideration when setting up artwork.


For brochures on 250gsm or heavier, the printing may at times be scored at the fold lines (at no additional charge) and delivered flat and not folded.
