Does anyone have a generic disclaimer for printing on colored stock? We have always advised our customers it is best to have a drawdown done for printing on colored stock, but low and behold there is not enough time. Plenty of time to reprint it since they don't like the shift in color. I put...

My pressman insisted that all my black plates were punched incorrectly. They never fit! Heidelberg recently fixed the 4th unit on the press. They are now punched perfectly.
