– Imprenta Mundo offers the possibility of doing color tests and mockups in low or high resolution at disposal of its clients. Mockups are certified tests printed in high quality on photographic paper under FOGRA 39 (ISO 12647-2:2004), in accordance with our printing machine color curve which stands for maximum reliability between the test and the final work. Mockups will be charged separately according to size, being maximum width 42cm (length is not limited). It should be mentioned that there may be some difference between mockup and final product due to the printing support and finishing of the work (type of paper, varnish, coat, lamination, etc). It will be responsibility of the contractor to return approved mockups on time so that all quality protocols can be settled on time on the printing machines.

- Tests in low resolution (blueprints and digital proofs) are made so that client can verify texts and postscript elements, not color. Physical or digital acceptance of these tests entails acceptance of the project under that conditions, excluding color.

PAYMENT TERMS
