Turnaround

Inkjet printing. Once your project is in our hands the general turnaround time is 2 weeks, although you may experience a much shorter turn around.

Platinum and photogravure printing. We schedule these dependent on current studio projects.

For Studio Print Days, all work is done in-studio over an 8hr period although pre-work is highly recommended. We encourage you to take your work with you when you leave as work we need to pack and ship is dependent on our schedule and will incur additional studio time, packaging and shipping charges.

For Drum Scanning, our turnaround is between 2 and 3 weeks depending upon how large the job is.

All jobs can be rushed for a fee. This fee is variable and dependent upon how busy the studio is at the time.

Billing & Terms

All invoices are sent online and payment can be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank, money order, Visa, Mastercard or American Express. Cash is accepted at the studio. You are expected to pay before we begin your project.

Sample Proofs:

Sample Proofs are billed at regular rates.

Custom Printing:

When you contract us to print for you, we prepare an estimate (quote) that includes all of the work that has been discussed and requested. The final invoice may include charges that were not anticipated at the time the work entered our studio, or changes requested by the client. The client will be notified when additional charges begin to incur.

For large custom print jobs, a deposit of half the amount is required in order for us to begin the work and must be paid prior to any production. Upon completion of the project, the invoice balance must be paid in full prior to our shipping the work, or prior to the client picking up the work. The final invoice may include shipping although we prefer to ship on our client’s accounts. Unless you have a valid resale certificate, all state and local sales tax is applied.

Rush Orders:

Rush orders are subject to rush fees determined by Cone Editions Press based on the rush that is required and the complexity of the job and how this affects Cone Editions' production schedule. You will be billed the additional amount payable online prior to our beginning the rush order.



Workshops:

A non-refundable seat reservation deposit of $450.00 is due at time of order for each workshop or print day. The full remainder of the fee is due 1 week prior to the start of the workshop or print day.

 Studio Print Days:

A non-refundable  reservation 


Vermont Business Sales Tax Exemption

If you are a Vermont Business and you have a sales tax ID number with the state and the work we do for you is meant for resale, you can fill out the Sales Tax Exemption Certifcate and send it to us. We will keep the information on file and not charge you VT State Sales Tax.


Packing & Shipping

Due to our rural location we do not receive morning/priority overnight deliveries. Our normal pickup and drop off time is 3:00pm EST. Shipping costs and materials are the client’s responsibility. For custom print jobs, please indicate your preferred shipping method (i.e. priority or standard overnight, 2-day air, Express Saver etc) for shipment of proofs and final prints. For portfolio print jobs, standard FedEx Express shipping is used.

We offer different print shipping packaging. We have 5” tubes available in your print width at $15 up to 36” and $20 for up to 48”. We have tri-wall flat packs, which are virtually indestructible at $35 for prints up to 16×20, $50 for prints up to 24×36, $75 for prints up to 30×40, $100 for prints up to 36×44. Beyond this, allow us to suggest either a reusable 12” diameter polypropylene shipping container or we can build a custom tri-wall or plywood crate.

The normal shipping method is flat-pack for in-country shipping of any print up to 30×40 and tube for any print over 30×40 in size. For international shipping, tubes are normally used for prints 20×24 and larger due to extra costs associated with shipping flat prints internationally.

All packing is done by our printmakers and is fully quality controlled and inspected by the same people who run the print and work with artists.

File Delivery & Archiving

 All printing files remain the property of Cone Editions Press and are archived for free. These files can be deleted from the archive at the clients request.

Requests for re-prints of work archived before 2012 may incure a research labor fee.

Scan files are delivered as download links or can be loaded in-bulk onto a client’s hard-drive if they mail it to CEP with their originals to be scanned.

Files uploaded online are encrypted and stored in a password protected directory before final archiving on our internal server. After the job is printed, we delete the uploaded files and archive the final print-files at our studio for free.
