Commitment
to quality
We'll
always lead the way when it comes to quality, because
quality is ultimately a reflection of how much we
value you as a customer. The thing is: we work with
ad agencies, agents, and corporate accounts all
the time, and these clients know the difference
when it comes to quality production. We pass the
scrutiny of demanding, knowledgeable clients every
day, and we work hard to surpass expectations.
Industry-best
printing
Image is everything.
Including sales. In fact, in the music industry,
when customers are not familiar with an artist,
the leading factor for sales is the graphic design.
The quality of printing for your images has that
kind of power. We know this, and that's why
we use only the highest quality processes for everything
we print. We don't even own equipment that will
print at lower standards.
What's the difference? Sit too close to the
TV tonight, like three inches away. You'll notice
that the image breaks down into blocks of colors.
You no longer see your favorite weatherman, you
see a beehive of color chunks. Now grab a photograph,
one developed in a photo lab. Hold it three inches
from your face and what do you see? You don't
see a beehive and chunks of color, you see a high-resolution,
detailed image where colors integrate, not separate.
While other printing processes separate color, we
integrate it.
To the naked eye, our printing is as good as photographic
because we determined years ago to offer only the
best. Our 400-line stochastic hybrid screening technology
gives your project a visual difference you can see—-it's
more than double the industry printing standard,
and it gives your images more than 4 times the detail.
We also use premium papers and inks, and we give
you a free aqueous coating that produces an amazing
glossy depth that makes your images pop.
When it comes down to it, higher-resolution printing
captures the eye, and higher quality paper just
feels better in your hands. Not everyone can tell
you technically why our pieces look and feel better,
they just know they do, and that's a big deal
for your clients, potential customers, fans, and
even your wallet.
Highest-quality
disc replication
Disc replication is an involved process, but it
is precise, and we use the best equipment and process,
which is similar to looking in a mirror. If you
want to see the most accurate reflection of yourself,
you look in the mirror. Conversely, if you want
to see a poor quality reflection, you might stick
your face on a copy machine (but we don't recommend
it!) and get a machine’s idea of what you
look like. Our glass-mastering manufacturing process
is like a mirror’s reflection—it’s
accurate, and the details don’t get lost in
translation.To insure the quality of your disc replication
project, we routinely run a quality verification
test on all master discs sent to NationWide (these
are the master discs that you send us for reproduction).
We check for technical problems with your master
such as BLER, pit geometry, CIRC error correction,
E22 and E32 errors, and several others. This all
means that we'll make sure absolutely nothing's
wrong with your master disc. We then assign the
disc an overall quality score and check that it
meets red book standards for quality reproduction.
By doing this we insure that the quality of your
recorded project is up to reproduction standards.
We never charge you for this service, we just figure
you want the best audio quality possible.
TEJANO
& NORTEÑO-Star service
If you're like
us, when it's time to make a significant purchase,
you don't run straight for a salesperson, and
you don't ask the advice of a cashier. You look
for an expert, and you avoid an agenda. You want
a professional—someone with working knowledge
of the investment you're about to make. Years
ago we realized that to be the best, we needed to
give each client access to the professionals that
were producing their order.When you call, we give
you your own personal CSR (customer service representative)—
a professional in the industry. Our CSRs are not
call center workers, and they’re not salespeople
disguised as customer service. Your CSR is your
representative on the inside of our business—they're
involved with every aspect of your project. Our
CSRs have an average of 10 plus years of experience
in the industry. They're simply that good, they
know what they're doing, and they work for you.
Your CSR is always available and willing to take
your call. We don't have voicemail, and we don't
filter calls. Your CSR will communicate with you
from beginning to end. Feel free to contact a CSR
any weekday between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm CST with
questions. We invite you to try us out by giving
us a call. We're confident you'll experience
what sets us apart.
Up
front pricing
When we give you a price, we mean it!
We've built our business by treating our customers
right, and that includes up-front pricing that you
see before you ever place an order. We don't
charge you set-up fees, we don't have hidden
costs, and you won't have to dig into your wallet
for last-minute surprises. We wouldn't treat
friends that way, so we won't treat you that
way.
No
extra charge for color on-disc printing
Color printing on
your CDs is a sign of professionalism that we feel
makes your project a better product, and because
life happens in color, we give you up to 3-color
on-disc printing at no charge. We provide film and
do the actual printing free of charge! We also offer
full-color offset on-disc printing at a nominal
surcharge. Offset offers the best quality available,
especially for images that contain skin tones.
No
extra charge for over runs
We don't believe
in charging you more if we produce more items than
you order. If we happen to, we'll just give
you the extras. No over run charges means you don't
have to pay for product that you don't order.
All orders subject to 10% under run, but you'll
only be charged for the actual quantities shipped
up to your order amount. Prices do not include shipping.
Ask your CSR for details.
Insured
shipping - quick replacement for projects damaged
while in-transit
We take as much
pride in our work as you do with your project, and
we don't consider our job done until it's
in your hands. Because of this, we take extra care
in packaging your order, and we insure it for the
full amount. Less than one percent of orders are
unfortunately damaged by the shipping company and
become unusable. If that occurs, we don't believe
in leaving you to battle the shipping company for
reimbursement or waiting for you to get money back
to us before we work on replacing the order.
If your project is damaged in shipment, you can
relax knowing that we immediately begin the process
to replace it. We will also work with the shipping
company to make a claim for the loss. We'll
need a little help from you, but we work through
the process directly with the shipping company,
so you don't have to. We ship your new project
as soon as it is ready. No more money is required
from you.
You
won't find a catch in our pricing
We're
glad to tell you everything up front, and we give
you the best price for the products we offer. We
always have and we always will.
