Shipping Policy & Lead Times
Lead Time on Test Chart Orders
The standard lead time for Inkjet test charts is 5 business days. Film charts, chrome on glass charts, and most supplier charts have a standard lead time of 10 business days.
Note: Photographic charts and select supplier charts are excluded from this policy.
Imatest strives to process orders as quickly as possible, but "rush" options are available if time is critical (see the following table):
Rush Level | Rush Fee Surcharge | Inkjet Charts* | Film, Chrome, Custom* Inkjet, and Other Charts |
Standard Lead Time | None | 5 business days | 10 business days |
Rush Service | +50% | 3 business days | 7 business days |
Extra Rush Service | +100% | 1 business day | 5 business days |
*"Film, Chrome, Custom Inject, and Other Charts" include the first production of a custom inkjet pattern as well as subsequent productions of the same custom pattern.
