1. Process and Usage Formetco offers a sophisticated
online job management tool for quickly approving and modifying artwork for
production with Formetco. Formetco
withholds the right to modify or adjust the functionalities of this interface
without notice. Online proofing requires
an active internet connection either through a desktop computer or web-capable
mobile device capable of displaying graphic imagery. Online proofing is to benefit the production
timeline of the job online as well as a visual contract between Formetco and
our clients for proof of final production.
Proofs approved through our online portal are not color accurate due to
the nature of different types of displays.

sample or hard copy proof from Formetco prior to proof approval.

technology to produces all print outputs that utilizes the CMYK color
model. Pantone or other spot colors will
be reproduced using the CMYK equivalent of any supplied Pantone or other spot

applications. A need or desire for a
higher quality output must be made at initial order entry. Materials and substrates used are industry
standards. Material samples are
available upon request only. Failure to
understand the output material’s specifications, weight and appearance will not
be the responsibility of Formetco, Inc.
