18. Full Colour Printing -- Colour Variations
All reasonable efforts shall be made by Vault Printing Ltd to obtain the best possible colour reproduction on every job, but colour variation is inherent in the Litho printing process especially (Digital printing has its own problems, including reproducing solid bands of colour effectively). It is therefore understood and accepted as reasonable that, Vault Printing Ltd shall not be required to guarantee any exact colour match (due to physical dot gain, press & ink tolerances or for any other reason) on the printed job.
Matching a customer's existing artwork is also unlikely especially with the texture and colour vibrancy of original stock on photographs, transparencies, digital camera RGB images, electronic graphic file, and previously printed matter whether printed by Vault Printing Ltd or another printing company before us, or any other materials supplied by the customer and the printed article which has been subject to the customer's printing order.
