Imprint Colors:
Emulsion LLC uses a standard set of high quality stock ink colors for all screen printing orders unless otherwise specified. These colors include Black, Maroon, Teal, Light Pink, Violet, Brown, Carolina Blue, Grey, Black, White, Navy, Hot Pink, Green, Kelly Green, Scarlet Red, Royal Blue, Red, Lemon, Golden, Orange Copper Shimmer, Silver Shimmer and Gold Shimmer. Specialty ink colors are available for an additional fee. All specialty inks must be specifically requested and provided as a Pantone Code (PMS Coated). All Pantone colors will be mixed by weight with a specialty ink mixing system. It is very important to note that all design proofs and mockups will appear slightly different on a computer screen than in real life. All monitors are calibrated differently, which means no two colors will look exactly alike. If color accuracy is very important, a Pantone color must be provided prior to invoice approval. Emulsion LLC will not be responsible for any reprints or returns based on ink color inconsistencies up to 10% of the actual colors approved. Emulsion LLC reserves the right to change ink providers without notice based on availability. Emulsion LLC reserves the right to change ink printing methods without notice for quality purposes i.e. plasti-charge being substituted in for plastisol for oversized or un-common location prints. Once PMS colors are approved, returns will not be accepted due to any color discrepancies.

Digital Artwork to Analog Printing Clause:
Digital artwork will always appear differently on a computer screen vs. a finished screen print on fabric. Ink is printed one layer at a time, and then finished with the darkest ink color printing last to connect all other ink layers and finish the print. We reserve the right to control and change artwork bleeds accordingly to ensure best registration possible on multi-color graphics. Bleeds as small as .01 and as high as 2.5 can be used to ensure connectivity of colors for registration. Please reach out to your representative with questions or concerns regarding this process. No returns will be accepted for finished apparel based on printing bleeds different than the provided artwork by clients.

This means that spoilage must be more than 10 units per design to qualify for a reprint. Please keep this in mind when ordering. For this reason, we do recommend ordering extra pieces if possible. We do double check all of our orders before shipping and receiving, but occasionally orders may ship without every item ordered. For any items shorted or left out of your order, we will refund you the cost on a per item basis, but will not process a reprint for less than 10% of your order (or 10 shirts minimum). Please understand that mild ink spatter, thread movement, thread skips, pinholes, anything smaller than the tip of a sharpie marker, will not qualify for returns or reprints.
