academic terms + conditions
Please read over and agree to the following terms and conditions for academic printing before submitting a file to the academic upload. By adhering to these guidelines, we are able to keep our academic pricing and services so very reasonable.
COST OF POSTERS
We offer two substrates specific for academic printing, a matte bond paper at $2.50 per square foot, and a satin photopaper at $5 per square foot. There is a minimum charge of $15 on matte and $20 on satin per piece. Files must be print ready with multiple page documents to be printed as “Booklet” or layed out on a 24” or 36” wide document.
ACADEMIC PRICING
You must be a staff member or currently registered student of one of the following institutions: University of Alberta, MacEwan, NAIT, Alberta Health Services, Alberta Cancer Board and Edmonton Public Schools. Print must be for academic purposes only.
FILE SETUP
Files to be at output dimensions and correct resolution, with a half-inch margin allowance, fonts and images outlined/embedded or included, no transparencies or gradients. Review software specific notes on the Academic page regarding colour etc.
ADDITIONAL CHARGES
Production fees apply for projects that require setup or extra work. Our design services are provided by professionals with more than 10 years industry experience, with a rate of $75/hr for design and $50/hr for production. Other services available are listed on the Academic page.
TURN-AROUND
Same-day means if you submit before 10am on weekdays then your print will be ready that same day before 6pm at Vivid Whyte. Any files submitted after 10am are considered as having met the deadline of the following day. More time is required for any estimating, design, production, laminating or mounting. In order to be fair across the board for any academic print, these timelines are critical to adhere to.
RUSH CHARGES
A rush fee of $20 applies to prints needing a shorter turn-around time or for a file needing work to make print ready. This is still providing that there is room in our production schedule to accommodate the project.
REFUND POLICY
We are happy to reprint or refund any output that is unacceptable, with the following exceptions:
1. The output is unacceptable due to client error.
2. Colours or images are not what the client expected, and the output matches closely to our on screen file. (We offer test strips for colour conscious clients.)
3. The client decides to use the print even with any flaws, or is unable to return the rejected print.
