Can Clark Color Exactly Match My Color?

Updated:

While Clark Color try their best to carefully match the colors on your design, Clark Color is not always able to match exactly. This has to do with 4-color manufacturing process and variations in how colors look on computer screens. Clark Color will use a digital printing process that saves you money and allows you to order in lower quantities. This process does not allow for exact color matching.

Does Clark Color Review Designs Before Making the Products?

Updated:

Clark Color is all about saving you money. One way Clark Color is able to get your price down is by eliminating a design review on their end and allowing you to approve your own design. Carefully review your design on the approve & order page before approving your design and placing your order. 

One of the waysClark Color can offer such low prices is that they do not review each individual design. Because of that, Clark Color will ask that you carefully review your designs for typos and accuracy. Also, make sure all your important design elements fit within the boundaries of the design surface. Clark Color cannot refund or remake orders of this nature. Please keep in mind that thin borders do not work well on the edges of any product. Printing and cutting equipment have small operational variances so Clark Color cannot guarantee the borders will be exactly uniform around the product.
