Just like a client with a copy of photoshop


its called knowing just enough to be dangerous
or just enough to be a severe pain in the ass.

If it looks like a color is not going to match the Pantone color exactly then I call the customer and let them know. Feel them out. The number one cause for me not be able to match a color is they give me a coated number for an uncoated stock.

oof. agreed.

though, jeral and i have been using these powders for metallics and it's been neat. but it depends on what color paper you use. on white. they don't show up worth a damn sometimes and on dark, it shines like crazy. same ink. :shrug:

My standard line is: "The inherently unpredictable nature of the process."

Write that down. You can use it. It works.
