> We have a planning department. Saleperson gets a quote from a planner who decides on prepress time and material, paper, press, impo, bindery, etc. and cost. If quote wins, salesperson writes up the docket re: colours, line screen, page size, etc. Files are then preflighted to make sure files match docket, and to flag anything the salesman may have missed or the client "forgot". Then job goes back to a planner to make sure files and job match quote, and to write out the actual paper imposition for prepress, then job goes into prepress. Planner and salesperson, and planner and preflight are the only interactions needed, although others may be consulted by the planner if needed. Our planners are pretty key people.

Last word goes to the printers and to the finishers.
They are the ones who, in the end, print and finish the damn thing.
Almost every folder has to have the diecut fixed because clients always eat more than they can chew .
"Glue flap, what is that." Gussets, funny word
At the end designers are mainly kids with great ideas but no experience.
No reason to get mad.
I get paid to fix things.
Everyone has a job and it is everyones job to make things work.
Cheers
