memo to clients providing art for your campaign: 72dpi images DO NOT PRINT WELL.





That is all.

I was over at Sprint Press/Denver last week to press check a lovely little booklet for the Classical Public Radio Network, and on my last check of the day I saw the night shift pressman's ride in the lot. The label modification comes straight off of a Heidelberg, and is the best "in" joke I've seen out in public in a long time.

finished

Just wrapped up a nice holiday card for a new client...Printed it at Wandel Press, where I have the good fortune to work with Dave Biondi, a print rep par excellence, and a good friend to boot.

Now it just needs to be trimmed right, scored and folded correctly, boxed cleanly, and delivered to the right address. For people who thing geting something "printed" is easy-peasy, remember there are about 40 steps involved, any one of which can completely screw up your job. Eeek. Fortunately, I haven't had that happen...too often; at least no more often than any other designer. But each time something goes to press, you cross your fingers, knock on wood, and avoid walking under ladders for a while, until the client gets the finished product.
