Can I order a product which is not in the official offer?


AyaPrint.com take orders in accordance with the offer presented on the website. Items which are not available on AyaPrint.com website can be ordered separately with our sales team. This can be done in advance by sending an inquiry to the email address: info X ayaprint.com
 

Why has my order been rejected?

Some orders placed at AyaPrint.com may be rejected for several reasons:

- Non-compliance of the files with specifications.

- File does not comply with the order, for example:
> ordered item is an A5 flyer but supplied file is meant for B1 poster;
> customer ordered 16-pages catalogue but the file only contains 14 pages.

- Customer have chosen to get a "full review" but the file can not be improved because of its specificity or errors in file preparation (e.g. file uploaded to the system is not a source file but an output file; missing fonts or missing objects from the source file).

Please note! We remind you that turnaround time is counted from the date of file approval.

Can I print with AyaPrint.com e.g. a flyer (or other item) that is slightly smaller than the format (size) ordered by me? (e.g. I ordered an A4 leaflet [210x297 mm] and the size of my project is 205x290 mm)

Yes. In any case, if size of the project is different than the size specified in your order, you will be contacted by our verifier in order to determine the target size.

Please note! This operation is only possible if size of the project is smaller than the size on the order. If size of the work (design) is bigger than the ordered size, your file will be automatically rejected.

I ordered an A5 flyer but my file consists of two A6 leaflets prepared on A5 format. Would you cut them into A6 size?

No. The flyers will be cut into a format which was ordered, in this case: A5. Similarly, in other such cases.

 

Can you resize the file to a format that I ordered (I chose the basic check option)?

It is not possible when "basic check" service has been previously chosen.

 

What is the difference between offset varnish and dispersion varnish?

There is no difference. Both are proper names of the same type of varnish.

 

Can I request not to use offset varnish for the materials I ordered?

Yes, but only in the case of posters A1 and B1. In other cases, it is not possible.

Please note! If you do not want to use offset varnish for your order, send a request to our email address info X ayaprint.com before placing your order. In the subject line please state: "Order number - do not use offset varnish". Your contact details should also be included in your message.

What paper type do I have to order for a leaflet, poster, business card?

The choice of product characteristics should be to the customer.

 

Do AyaPrint.com also provide graphic design services?

Yes. We also provide graphic design services both for print and web. We co-operate with other professional authorized service: BaileDesign.com, a member of our Group. For details, please visit their website.

 

After rejecting a large file (e.g. a magazine) - can I send you again only those corrected pages that previously contained errors?

In general we only accept a set of files (this applies to all products) because of the high risk of confusion. However, if it is a magazine and the file is large (e.g. over 350 MB) it could be possible to send only the revised pages.

 

What is Bleed?

Bleed - printing area, which goes beyond the edge of the final publication. Bleed ensures that the print area will arrive at the edge of the sheet after trimming.

What is FTP?

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) - the protocol client-server, which allows you to transfer files to and from the server via TCP / IP network.

This protocol is defined by the IETF in RFC 959.

In our case, the term also means an FTP file server where we send files for print.

AyaPrint.com has his own server: ftp.ayaprint.com

 

What is Proof?

Proof is a print preview for a customer made using a special paper type.

Proof is prepared in order to compare the colours set in the file with colours that will be printed in the final product. Colour Matching between the proof and the final output is 95%.

Last Updated on Sunday, 16 May 2010 17:55
 

How do you send proofs to customers?

Proofs are sent by courier/post.

 

Is there a charge for sending a proof?

Shipping costs are included in the proof price.

 

Do you revise the content (e.g. spelling errors, punctuation, objects displacement, picture replacement) etc.?

We perform only the technical corrections (if possible, for example: profile removal, adding bleeds, conversion of fonts into curves). We never edit the content.

 

Why I can not see the file in the order even if it is uploaded to FTP?

If you uploaded a file and you are unable to see it in your order, it is possible that:

1) The file was properly uploaded to FTP but was not associated with the order (the description of how to properly associate files with orders is available here)

2) FTP client has not been set up properly (the most common mistake is to provide improper ftp address, correct address is: ftp.ayaprint.com).
