Quality Issue Disputes
If your plot has quality issues this is likely a result of your file or the plotting equipment. Technology Lab staff can assist you in identifying where the issue originated from and will work with you to resolve it or document the incident.
File Issues
The submitter is responsible for the cost of the plot if the issue falls within the list of potential issues below. If the file is changed and submitted, the submitter is responsible for the cost of the initial plot and the corrected plot.
Quality problems may be indicative of a issue with the file. Those issues may present themselves in multiple ways:
- Layers that are not flattened
- Visit PDF Tips
- Fonts that are not embedded
- Visit PDF Tips
- Incorrect color profile
- Visit How to Control Color
- Jams & tears due to plot length over 72" or full-saturation on thin paper
Equipment Issues
The submitter is responsible for notifying Technology Lab staff of equipment issues as soon as they are noticed. Any plots submitted after the initial report until the issue is resolved will be subject to administrative review to determine a final discounted cost across all affected submitters.
Please report any quality issues to Technology Lab staff ASAP. Examples:
- Streaks
- Smudges
