Copyright
Copyright is an important issue for us all at Murdoch Print.
Please note and consider the following info when requesting
work;
Much of the material supplied for printing comes from sources
covered by copyright and should not contain more than the
limit allowed to be copied under the Copyright
Act. The space on the Printing Requisition which asks
if the material is copyright should be answered correctly.
Any material copied from other publications is covered by
copyright and in these cases a copyright declaration should
be completed.

135ZK,

and for the other books, 30 days.
