Colour Variation Conditions | DirectorySigns.artsNprints.com
At DirectorySigns.artsNprints.com, we’re committed to delivering high-quality, visually consistent, and professionally finished directory sign boards. However, due to the nature of digital displays, printing processes, and raw material textures, slight colour variations may occur between the image you see on screen and the actual finished product.
This document outlines our colour variation policy to help customers and design teams maintain realistic expectations while ensuring full transparency during production.
1. Understanding Colour Differences
Every digital display (mobile, laptop, tablet, or monitor) uses different colour calibration, brightness, and contrast settings.
Hence, colours viewed on your screen may appear:
-
Brighter or duller than actual prints
-
Slightly warmer or cooler depending on device settings
-
Different in tone or texture due to material surface (glossy, matte, frosted, brushed, or metallic finishes)
2. Material-Based Colour Impact
The base material significantly influences the final colour appearance. For example:
-
Acrylic: Produces a bright and glossy finish
-
ACP / HPL: Offers a matte or textured tone variation
-
Metal (Brass / Stainless Steel / Titanium): Reflects natural light differently based on polish level
-
Wood / Hylum Sheets: Absorbs colour pigments unevenly due to natural grains
-
Modular Signs: Slight variance due to multi-layer assembly and light reflection
Each material reacts uniquely to ink, engraving, or lamination — a natural and expected part of the manufacturing process.
3. Printing and Engraving Variation
Our advanced production systems use computerised engraving, digital printing, and vinyl cutting technology.
Despite precision-grade tools, micro variations (±5%) can occur due to:
-
Ink absorption rates
-
Heat curing process
-
Ambient temperature during production
-
Surface finishing and coating layers
4. Proof Approval Before Production
To minimize discrepancies:
-
Every order undergoes a pre-production proof approval process.
-
Customers must verify and approve the final design before production.
-
Once approved, colour variation claims cannot be accepted unless there’s a verified manufacturing defect.
5. Acceptance Policy
By placing an order on DirectorySigns.artsNprints.com, the customer acknowledges and accepts that:
-
Minor colour, tone, or texture variation does not qualify as a defect.
-
Each signage is custom-made and unique in finish, reflecting the chosen material and process.
6. Our Commitment
While 100% colour matching is technically impractical across materials, we ensure maximum consistency by:
-
Using Pantone colour references where applicable
-
Maintaining calibrated printing equipment
-
Implementing multi-stage visual inspection before dispatch
