The following sentence is included in the terms and conditions of sale of a company that provides advertising space: 'Pour assurer une qualité optimale de l’impression des décors et garantir la conformité des impressions aux exigences graphiques et colorimétriques, un *cromalin* issu des maquettes/fichiers devra être fourni par l’Annonceur, à ses frais, pour chacun des dispositifs.
