ART PREPARATION CHARGES: Where you choose Active Imprints to render art services, a per-hour charge or itemized charge is made (see price schedule). Most new orders for one-color printing average $25.00 -$50.00, including typesetting, art reproduction, and camera services. Color separations are charged separately. We will estimate total charges prior to producing your order. Or, if you prefer, establish an art budget and we will work within your guidelines.
Assignments requiring extensive detailing, line work, or the creation of original graphics (logos, corporate identifications, conceptual renderings, or photographs converted to line art) are subject to quotation prior to our acceptance of your order.
Unless otherwise arranged, in writing, prior to production, all artwork rendered for your order remains the property of our art department and will be maintained at our plant for our exclusive usage in executing your orders.
Where an order is accompanied by professionally prepared black-and-white, camera-ready artwork or production-quality transparencies, no art preparation charges will apply (except where excessive enlargements, reduction or retouching are necessary). Materials furnished remain the property of the provider. Any requests for the return of originals, including discs, must be made within 10 days of completion of order.

BACKORDERS: Orders requiring Active Imprints to backorder a portion of the original quantity specified are subject to your re-confirmation to allow us additional time for completion. We will advise you of shortages or other difficulties that may affect your scheduling requirements.

CANCELLATIONS: All orders are considered "firm" when placed. No cancellations on finished merchandise are accepted. Cancellations made prior to production are permitted, subject to charges for artwork in progress, completed screens or custom digitizing, and return of merchandise acquired including all restocking fees and shipping costs incurred by Active Imprints.

COMBINED QUANTITY PRICING: We allow total/combined quantity pricing for printed or embroidered orders where all items are printed/embroidered with same ink/thread colors, using same prepared screens/tapes on same continuous production run.

COPY CHANGES: Subject to additional art and preparation charges where appropriate.

CUSTOM MANUFACTURED GARMENTS: Contact sales office for details.

DYE LOTS: Due to market conditions and mill variances, we cannot guarantee consistency of shades to match precisely from order-to-order and dye-lot to dye-lot.

IMPRINT COLORS: All standard and pastel colors are available for screen-printing. Custom colors and PMS colors for screen-printing are available. We will match colors as closely as possible, but due to the nature of ink pigments, dye colors, and fabric characteristics, we cannot guarantee exact colors or tint. Some ink matches are subject to surcharge.

IMPRINT SIZES: Contact Customer Service.

INK TYPE: Active Imprints reserves the right to determine at its discretion, ink type and chemical composition used on your order unless you specify otherwise in writing. Puff, glitter, neon, high density, reflective, and fluorescent inks are available at additional charge. We scrupulously comply with all local, state, and federal environmental and hazardous waste regulations.

LAUNDERABILITY AND SHRINKAGE: Some shrinkage is unavoidable in all knitted garments. To minimize shrinkage, follow washing instructions on garment label. Do not use bleach on colored fabrics. Do not iron over imprints. Avoid harsh detergents.

OVERRUNS/UNDERRUNS: To maintain production efficiencies, we reserve the right to furnish 5% over-or-under quantities ordered. Orders within this guideline are considered complete. Actual quantity shipped will be invoiced. Exact quantities cannot be guaranteed!
