yeah i hate it when they do that, another thing that bothers me is when I get a 10k run of trifolds, and close to 5000 of em are off on the fold mark by a 1/16th.....agggghhhhh!!!!

Then they make shore they stash them in the middle so you never see them till it's too late.
I called this pancakeing bafoon and he's not answering his calls. WTF? I have a deadline to meet. Ahhhhhhhhh!

That's ok...I printed off 250 copies of a 28 page book....our guy that does the binding (he works for us), somehow stapled the covers on such that the inside of the book was reversed. So instead of the middle page being 10 and 11, it was 1 and the last page. So he had to pull all the staples out, and re-bind them properly.
Somehow he managed to blame me, by saying the books were upside down.
I found this out, went downstairs where he was working and said 'John, next time open your f**king eyes, or else I'll staple you upside f**king down.'

Magnus, I think you've found your (other) calling. I for one would definitely hire you as the GD Office Linebacker.

I was re-reading this post and it suddenly struck me that Benjo has experienced the printers' version of
'not reading the art submittal guidelines'. LOL!
Well...GD's never read OUR specs!
