Colours
Colour on screen will always look slightly brighter than the printed version. Similarly, your printer may not print exactly the same as the printers Mama Inc. Studio use. If you have provided a colour swatch, every effort will be made to match it as closely as possible. Due to the printing process, colour variation can occur between print runs. Therefore, colours may differ between your finished stationery and the original sample that you received. If you want the colour exactly the same throughout all of your wedding stationery, it is recommended that all of your wedding stationery is printed at the same time.

Unless requested otherwise, all stationery will be printed on 300gsm silk or uncoated card. Card samples are available free of charge. Refunds will not be issued if on receipt of your printed stationery, you decide that you do not like the card stock.
