Lehmann Print Solutions

Trading Terms and Conditions

Orders

  1. Lehmann Print Solutions will only accept electronic artwork file (Multipage PDF) created in either Windows or Mac OS applications.
  2. Whilst Lehmann Print Solutions accept resupplied artwork it is purely at our discretion; no changes can be made once the job has commenced printing.
  3. Should clients wish to reprint a previously printed order, it is important that the job subtype and correct artwork accompany the reprint job. It the artwork is not the same as the reprint and has been amended, then a new order must be placed online with the new artwork.
  4. Lehmann Print Solutions do not colour match business cards. All printing product colours may vary from day to
    day, press to press, board to board and back to front. Varnishes and laminates may also affect colour output. Lehmann Print Solutions will not reprint due to colour or shade discrepancies. Our bulk running system does NOT allow for this. DO NOT USE THIS SYSTEM IF YOU REQUIRE COLOUR MATCHING.
  5. Overprinting or Trapping issues are not Lehmann Print Solutions responsibility and lie solely with parties responsible for the development of ‘Art’. We print using overprint settings to assist with trapping.
  6. Whilst all care is taken in checking your files for file related errors that may reduce the quality of your job, Lehmann Print Solutions accept no responsibility for files that are not print ready. This includes the presence of spot colours, RGB, or any other instances of non-CMYK artwork assets or colour-space. All such instances will be run as CMYK only with Lehmann Print Solutions accepting no responsibility for any issues arising from this process. All jobs supplied will be printed as supplied.
  7. With exception to spot colours, RGB, or any other instances of non-CMYK artwork assets or colour-space, Lehmann Print Solutions will not manipulate or alter any artwork.

Printing/Finishing

Please note there can be a trimming variance of plus or minus three millimetres due to automated cutting systems (no guillotine). Please allow for this when setting up artwork (i.e. allow between 2 – 3mm bleed all around and keep important information 3 – 5mm in from trim lines).

Signage 

Quotations. 
Validity. All quotations are valid for 30 days from the date of the quotation and are subject to change thereafter.

Acceptance of Quotation.
Upon acceptance of the quotation, the client enters into a contract of sale, and agrees to
all associated terms and conditions (as outlined in this document).

Quality.
Lehmann Print Solutions will provide a quotation based on the highest quality materials and workmanship. At client’s request we can offer less expensive options where available, however the client should be aware that quality may be affected.

Undisclosed information.
All quotations are made in good faith on the information supplied. We reserve the right to notify and charge additional costs to the client if the information supplied is incorrect or unobtainable at time of quoting.

Quotation Variations.
Product details will be displayed on your quotation. Your signed acceptance of the quotation is based on the understanding that changes to the quantities, product specifications and/or finalised artwork proofs will incur additional costs.

Additional extras.
Extras such as laminating and anti-graffiti coating are not automatically included in quotations. They can be included at the client’s request, and when included will be specifically mentioned in the detail of the quotation.

Site Surveys

Pre-Quote Site Survey.
Some projects may require a pre-quote Site Survey to be completed. This will provide Lehmann Print Solutions with the necessary information to accurately provide a full quotation. In this situation, the client will be charged a set fee to cover the costs of completing the Site Survey.

Accuracy of Measurements.
Where Lehmann Print Solutions staff have completed the site survey and taken specific measurements, Lehmann Print Solutions will assume responsibility for the accuracy of the measurements. Conversely, where measurements provided to us by the client are found to be inaccurate, any additional charges associated with re-printing / re-installation will be passed onto the client.

Artwork

Print Readiness.
No charges are incurred if artwork files are supplied in acceptable print ready format. Please refer to our Artwork Specifications (below) to ensure your file format is correct.

Licensing.
It is the responsibility of the client to obtain all necessary rights and licences required to reproduce logos or artwork not created by Lehmann Print Solutions.

Loss of Artwork.
All artwork provided to us must be a copy of your original. We accept no responsibility for the loss of original artwork files provided to us.

Charges.
Our experienced art department is able to assist you with the setup and/or design of your product. Fees for this service are charged at a fixed or hourly rate depending on the project. This information will be specified on your quote.

Proofing.
When proofing artwork electronically, colours seen onscreen should not be considered a 100% accurate representation of the final printed product. Accurate full colour printed proofs are available upon request at a nominal fee. It is also the responsibility of the client to double check that all information and details displayed in the artwork are correct. The cost of alteration and reprinting will be charged to the client.

Artwork Variations.
Your signed acceptance of the quotation is based on the understanding that variations to the finalised artwork proof will incur additional costs. These costs will be based upon the quantity and complexity of the changes.

Colour Matching.
For specific colour matching or use of a specific PMS colour an additional fee of $35.00 will be charged. Lehmann Print Solutions provides a selection of common colours only and purchasers should be aware they may vary slightly depending on the type of material used.

Copyright
Any artwork provided to a client remains the property of Lehmann Print Solutions until payment in full has been received. Digital or physical reproduction of said artwork without written permission (for purposes other than proofing) is not permitted and is an infringement of copyright law.

Artwork Specifications

Print Readiness.
Finished artwork is to be supplied in print-ready EPS or PDF format, with all fonts converted to outlines. Clients providing artwork in any format other than this will be charged an additional fee.

Printing and Production

Substrate and Fixing Methods.
Where requested (and quoted) we will endeavour to provide the most appropriate fixing method for signage. However, Lehmann Print Solutions accepts no responsibility in situations where signage is installed by others.

Production & Installation Time

Variations.
Production and installation times will be advised on your quotation as they do vary depending on the individual job/ product/ order specifications. Although every effort is made to meet the agreed deadline, we cannot take responsibility for factors outside our control (such as weather, other contractors, suppliers).

Councils, Committees, Engineers and Bodies Corporate

Approvals.
It is the responsibility of the client to gain approval from councils, committees, engineers or bodies corporate regarding the installation of signage. Any project requiring digging into the ground requires the client to use the ‘Dial Before You Dig’ service. However, we are happy to work with clients to ensure a smooth process and to achieve the desired result.

Fees.
Payment of any fees incurred from council, committees, engineers or body corporate during the sign installation process will be the responsibility of the client.

Specifications.
If there are restrictions and/or regulations pertaining to your project (e.g. specific colours, sizes required by a governing body), details must be supplied to us prior to the commencement of the project. Although our staff will be able to provide assistance regarding these matters, it is ultimately the responsibility of the client to undertake such research and ensure all aspects of the artwork are approved prior to production. If the required information is not provided, Lehmann Print Solutions will take no responsibility for the cost of alteration or re-production.

These costs will be charged to the client.

Additional Charges

Electrical work.
We are happy to organise any electrical work that is required to complete the sign installation project, however the cost for such electrical work will be charged to the client.

Rock Clause.
In projects where sign installation requires digging into the ground, and rock is found to be present, additional costs to continue digging or drilling will be charged to the client.

After hours charge.
Some projects may require sign installation outside of working hours (due to access issues or council requirements). In this situation, an additional charge to cover staff wages etc will need to be applied.

Ownership of Property

Ownership.
All goods will remain the property of Lehmann Print Solutions until such time that all associated costs are paid in full. All artwork proofs submitted to the client for approval remain the property of Lehmann Print Solutions. All original artwork, designs and layouts are owned by Lehmann Print Solutions.
