IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!
| Word Documents are notoriously unstable if opened on a PC different from the one the document was created on. We recommend that you always save the file as a PDF and proof before sending it to print. If you don’t do this and the formatting has changed this is not the fault of the printer but an issue with the original file and therefore your own responsibility. This is especially a problem when printing theses where accuracy is of paramount importance. Always save your files as A4 PDF Documents and proof before sending to print, as you won’t be refunded if you make a mistake. |
