When placing orders, please be sure your file names do not include the words "order" or "border". Do not use any characters other than letters, numbers, underscores and hyphens. For example, any of the following characters would need to be removed from file names: (!@#$%^&*.;:'"[]{}\|<>?,). Always allow a minimum 1/4'' bleed on all edges of any print. This is especially important if you have a border around the edge of your image.

SALES

In order to extend fair and equal opportunity to all customers, sales are announced via E-Mail and Facebook just prior to the start of each sale. Customer service representatives do not have access to information regarding sales until the public announcement. All sales are subject to the terms and conditions outlined on a per sale basis. Sales and Promotions cannot be applied to orders received before or after the stated time period.

Sales and Sale Pricing is only available though ROES. Sales and Promotions can not be combined concurrently with any other promotions or discounts.

PROMOTIONS

If you are a school photographer with an initial order containing 1000 units or more, please contact the lab regarding specialized pricing options.

All previously issued promotion codes are expired as of October 1, 2011. Please watch for new and current promotions.

BACKPRINTING

Studio names may have up to 36 characters in their backprint. Image names will print up to 25 characters for non-rendered images such as Express Prints & Proofs. Images that are rendered, such as Proof Magazines and Photo Books are always backprinted with their item number from ROES. Photo Books do have the added option in the ROES shopping cart view to remove backprinting for $2.99.

CROPPING AND RESIZING

All custom print sizes must be submitted canvased up to a standard size print. For example, if you have an 8x24 image that needs to be printed, you will need to canvas the image to the next available print size, which in this instance would be a 12x24. Additional work where the lab needs to canvas or prepare a file for custom size printing may incur added fees.

Promo codes, including Rewards Status codes, are unable to be put towards custom sizes. If added during ordering the lab will contact you for the additional payment for full costs.

Due to the slight cropping variance between machines, it is suggested that all essential text, borders and imagery remain .25'' away from any edge to avoid cropping.

SPIRAL BOUND PRODUCTS

Please note that the binding comb will cut about 1/4'' to 1/2'' into your image (depending on the number of pages in your book).
