Having submitted an order it is considered by the The Silk Bureau Ltd to be a binding agreement.

The Silk Bureau Ltd will always endeavor to produce printed fabrics of the highest quality but cannot be held responsible for any quality issues arising from the unsuitability of fabrics selected by the client with certain artwork design types. Digital printing is best suited to multi patterned multi coloured designs. In large areas of block colour or white, there is both a risk of ink spots during printing, lining or ‘mark back’ onto the plain areas during the processing stage.
We cannot be held responsible for any faults with the artwork. It is the client’s responsibility to supply print ready artwork. Please make sure your patterns repeat correctly.
