    Is color management really needed?

    I've kept up with for years Gordo along with a few of the other guys on here like Rich, Matt, and Michael to name a few. Once upon a time in order for me to get accurate color and make the job easier for the press crew (over the years often that's been my job too pressman) color management was...

    Who cares about wage? Clock watchers? The higher your wage the quicker you'll be looking for another job. Good luck on that. Better enjoy being a helper.

    printlength issues. constantly.

    Just skipping through all this I read that you used film. We do to and sometimes our film is stretched. Sometimes we do add packing behind the plate to shorten the image but that's only on our web press and it's just .003. That's all I'll go. Our web press is old and I don't want to mess it up.

    We used Kodak only because Polychrome was bought out by them. Then it really got hard for me to get supplies so I changed.

    Answering the Customer

    It's hard to stay within a customers understanding and not push buttons at the same time. They have no idea what your talking about. I've been printing all my life and some tech guys on here blow me away too.
