Our Quality Guarantee

Print Annex stands behind every print job that leaves our shop. We use professional presses, inspect orders before they ship, and pride ourselves on producing sharp, color-accurate work. If a print error is on us, we will make it right.

About Color Reproduction

All full-color printing uses the CMYK color model (cyan, magenta, yellow, black). CMYK cannot reproduce every color visible on a screen or in Pantone swatches, and small variations between print runs are normal in the printing industry. Unless you purchase a paid color-match service, we print to the industry-standard pleasing color — we will make every reasonable effort to match the colors in your file, but we cannot guarantee an exact match to a monitor, a previous print run, or a physical sample.

Satisfaction Guarantee

If you receive a printed product with a defect we caused, we will reprint your order at no additional cost or, at our discretion, issue a refund for the printing portion of the order. This guarantee applies to all customers and all order sizes — first-time, repeat, small, and large.

What's covered:

  • Improper cutting or finishing.
  • Print quality defects (streaks, smudging, banding).
  • Significant color shift from your supplied file beyond normal CMYK tolerance.
  • Print misregistration or misalignment.
  • Wrong product, wrong quantity, or damaged stock shipped from our shop.

What's not covered:

  • Errors in customer-supplied files — typos, low-resolution images, RGB color mode, missing bleed, or incorrect dimensions.
  • Minor color variation within industry-standard pleasing-color tolerance.
  • Delays caused by late file submission, late proof approval, or shipping carrier issues.
  • Shipping and handling charges, design fees, or rush fees.
  • Damage that occurs after the order leaves our shop or your hands.

Your Files: What We Need

To produce your order at the highest quality, please supply press-ready files that meet these specifications:

  • Bleed: 0.125" on all sides for any color or image extending to the trim edge.
  • Resolution: 350 dpi minimum for all images.
  • Color mode: CMYK for color artwork; grayscale for black-and-white.
  • Format: PDF (preferred), AI, EPS, or high-resolution TIFF.
  • Fonts: outlined or embedded.

If you are unsure whether your files are press-ready, ask us to run a free file check before we print — it takes a few minutes and saves a lot of headaches.
