Is It Out of Scope? — Web design
Is creating print-ready assets from web designs out of scope for a web design project?
Yes. Print needs CMYK color conversion, higher resolution, and bleed margins — a different production pass, not a re-export.
This usually surfaces when a client needs a banner, brochure, or business card to match the new site and assumes the same source files just export straight to print.
Is it out of scope?
Yes. Print requires CMYK color conversion, print resolution, bleed and trim margins, and layout work for a different aspect ratio — real production work beyond the web-ready assets that were quoted.

Deliverables clause→ — The quote specified web-ready export formats; a print-ready format is a distinct deliverable with its own technical requirements.
Example contract wording
Example contract wording (illustrative, not legal advice)
The designs were exported for web use, which doesn't translate directly to print — that needs CMYK conversion, bleed margins, and layout work for the print dimensions. I can quote that as a separate deliverable.
How MarginFlow flags it
MarginFlow flags print-format requests outside_scope on design contracts unless print deliverables were explicitly named alongside the web export formats.
