When I specify a job is 2/0 pantone spot colors, and all the other jobs we have been doing for the same client have been pantone spot color jobs why the hell would you think this one should be done on a @$#&* DIGITAL PRESS!!!!

So yeah, send those business cards back to the printer to have them reprinted, KTHX!

To save $$?

No, it's a mix of ignorance and apathy. They don't realize how important it is to get the details perfect for a print job. Not even a lot of designers realize that though.

Oh well, its just so annoying because it keeps happening and they don't seem to understand how important the details are.

lol, now that I think about it, I think I've posted a rant on something like this happening at work before. Sorry guys, it keeps happening!!!

[budafist]

I think the better question is why when you specify 2/0 do they think it should be printed on a digital press.

I've tried to explain this. Really, nobody here cares about taking pride in their work or paying attention to details, it's just a paycheck to most of the people here.

Of course I had to talk to my manager this morning (the one responsible for ordering the cards) and she was mad that I told a client that "I dont know if she messed it up, or the printers did (evidently another coworker made it sound like I was blaming her) I'm saying all these people here that screw up on a regular basis need to stop screwing shit up, or go somewhere else. I take pride in my work, and I do a good job, and it pisses me off beyong belief when I send the files to the sales dept, specify exactly what needs to be printed, and they still manage to screw it up because they just don't understand the print process well enough, after I have explained things over and over and over, and everytime I do, I'm given that look of "who gives a shit?" ....YOU SHOULD BECAUSE YOU KEEP )#&$#*^ING UP THE PRINT JOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyways, it was pretty obvious when I said "Look, do you need to know more about the print process? It's right here on the quote that this was going to be printed pantoned matched to CMYK" (I swear, they still probably don't know the difference between pantone and cmyk.)

Anyways, I'd probably never had said anything to client if A.) this didn't happen ALL the time, and B.) he is a regular, and we have a more casual rapport with him and he's pretty laid back.

I think what I am going to do is make a sheet that explains the print process and how to order stuff. I guess thats the best I can do, and look for a job where I'm not surrounded by people who don't like their job.
