Does it Cost Extra to Use a Logo at Smart Resolution?

Although this is a simple question, the answer is not so evident.

Customized products: Adding a logo in the ink color choice available is FREE. However, if you are ordering envelopes that only come in black ink and the logo is red and black, we will provide you with a quote on envelopes with your design.
Products with your own design (up to 3 ink colors): Since the price depends on the ink color(s) used, the logo will cost extra if it is in color. There is a color mixing charge per ink color as the custom color requires the pressman to clean the press after finishing your specific printing job.
Products with full color: Since the price includes any and all colors, logos do not cost extra.
