There are a few “Fair Use” exceptions.
Gnomon Copy is allowed to produce no more than 10 copies of a single copyrighted text article.
Gnomon Copy is allowed to produce one copy of an entire copyrighted textbook or booklet.
Gnomon Copy is allowed to produce one copy of a collection of copyrighted articles.
Under no circumstance will Gnomon Copy make reproductions of original or published artwork such as cards, designs, professional photographs, art prints, or other tangible works without the express written consent of the artist or publisher.
Ownership does not give the possessor the right to reproduce materials.
Gnomon Copy is happy to supply customers with a Copyright Release Form that can be filled out by the owner of the copyright allowing us to make reproductions. Gnomon Copy will also accept written release from the copyright owner over email.
If there are questions about whether or not materials are copyrighted, customers may make Self-Service copies at their own risk, understanding they are potentially breaking Copyright law. Alternatively, customers may sign an indemnification form releasing Gnomon Copy of all responsibility for the reproduction of Copyrighted materials.
Thank you for your understanding of this important issue.

Full-bleed refers to printing that goes right to the edge of the paper.
When submitting your print-ready PDF file for production, should your design require full-bleed, please ensure you’ve provided 1/8″-1/4″ bleed-space beyond your finish size so that we can print and cut to your bleed edge.
For example an 8.5×11″ full-bleed flyer would require an 8.625″x11.125″ or larger file.
