Its such a sharp line I still think that its an imaging problem especially now that you say it was done on a laser printer . . what line screen are you using, what resolution is the laser printer set on, what kind of laser is it . . . we use a laser printer for our quick print type of work but...

It might be how the plate is imaged . . . I'd take a close look at the plate and see how the gradation goes from the middle to the edge . . . could you post a press ready pdf for us to look at?

Pricing by demand . . . "I was just really busy during that time period . .. so I raised my prices on customers that were new so that I could continue to serve my existing customer base properly. We would have had to bring in a 2nd shift on Saturday night to get that job out in the time frame...

Here's a chart I found interesting in rating the news providers . ..

I read a lot of news from both left and right viewpoints and from international sources . . . throw it in the back of my mind and let it run around for a while and see what comes out. I also tell myself that we need to wait for a certain period of time to see what really shakes out instead of...

never had that problem even with runs of 5 or 10 thousand envelopes . . .. doesn't seem to be a problem with Kompac or Alcolor damps . . .

Yes . . . but I was quoting the Polls . . not the end results . .. I was commenting on the aggressive tactics of brow beating an opinion held by someone else that you dont agree with . . . it's easier to just stay quiet an not get beat on than get into an argument that you will never win with...

Could you post some photos/screenshots of the illy file and of the proof - specificallly the problem areas. It could be with a rip not processing transparency correctly, trap settings, you might also turn on the overprint preview in illy to see what you sent them . . . you would not believe how...

I don't want to get tooooo political but I just have to throw this out here . . . . I believe that the reason that in the last presidential election, with all the pollsters saying Hillary was going to win in a landslide is that with the aggressive "liberal" spokespeople skewering Trump...
