Dutch term

anders dan gangbare kleurenverschillen

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Printing & Publishing
xxx acht zich niet aansprakelijk voor verschillen tussen door yyy aangeleverde kleurenprints en het uiteindelijke drukwerk, anders dan gangbare kleurenverschillen.

contract between xxx and a printing company. I'm somewhat puzzled by "anders dan gangbare kleurenverschillen" - I am thinking "abnormal colour differences" - but other suggestions would be welcome

Post-grading comment: Syntactically the sentence is correct. In a semantical/logical sense, the sentence is indeed rather puzzling.
Andre de Vries (asker) Apr 4, 2007:
the Dutch is rubbish I'm afraid the whole text is very badly written - not that that is anything unusual.
thanks for your input everyone
Suzan Hamer Apr 4, 2007:
Yes, that bothers me too; must be something to do with context or it's a printer thing?
Ken Cox Apr 4, 2007:
Apart from the translation, the logic of this sentence seems strange (they don't accept responsiblity for differences other than usual colour differences?).

"XXX takes no responsibility for differences between the color prints delivered by YYY and the final print work, apart (or except for) acceptable color differences."

There are several hits on Google for "acceptable color differences" with regard to printing, e.g., http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6719392.html
