Alma, I feel sorry for you... we live in a sad world... :( Good luck, I hope you'll find a new job.

Is it possible to have (much) higher definition pictures? On these pictures, I don't know if it is the printing problem OR caused by low resolution pictures, I see low-res rasterized gradients in the 2 first and a low-res printed image in the top of the third... You said in your first post...

My answer wasn't to you, but was half "extending" your answer to pre-press, and half humour ;-) (OK, I should have add a smiley... my mistake) That being said, wrong choice of screen angles and/or dots, or bad loading of one or several plates in the imagesetter (causing deformation of the...

Good solution... perhaps it's a plate problem and he sould also hire a pre-press operator able to burn correct plates? But surely he should learn how to post in the right section of the forum! or ask his question with a cartoon???

More I read Gordos' cartoon, more I see that the print crap is exactly the same on your side of the pond than on my side!

The plural of hickey is "crappy printing"

Not always: I've seen a 4-colors press printing KMCY. And all printers do not have 4-colors presses: some are working with 2-colors, printing most often CM-KY, and some still use single color presses and most often the printing order is CMYK.

I used to be a prepress/printer, but I switched careers (4 years ago) and became a light-aircrafts mecanic/electrician. I'm no more dealing with the same printshop (cough, cough) stuff because in the aircraft-servicing business (most of) the clients perfectly understand that their lives are at...

You're right... but are you sure to be in the 2nd category? :p I don't ask for an interpretation, I ask for a translation, cause you don't write english.

Thanks gordo for your help! I didn't know that an Americanized version of "La Cage aux Folles" has been made!!! I clicked on your link, and for sure I have to see this movie: knowing the original french movie and the situations, I can imagine that Robin William vs Gene Hackman must be a great...

Ah OK... thanks for the explanation... I knew that some Americans do know nothing about the rest of the world, but I didn't realize that it is that bad!!! And as you are a cultivated guy, perhaps you could translate for me in good english what DInkMan wrote in his last post? cause this red-neck...

??? what do you really want to say? "it ain't played in gay Pride" (too bad, should be funny to see a base-ball game in the middle of the Gay Pride!!!) or "it ain't played in gai Paris", trying clumsily to make an allusion to my french nationality? For the record (and your spelling...

Really??? I'm confused, I believed that base-ball was mainly played in USA, and you say that it is played in China??? The you play with hands, believing it is real football? Or the real one, played with feet by ALL other countries?

Hey guys, it's just a joke!!! ;) That being said, each case is a particular case... I've fired one guy, once: a non-paid trainee... The day I fired him I was completely sure that he completely deserve it... but one week later I was no more that sure... and now I'm sure that I overreacted :(

Yes, gordo, I know... but this forum is a US forum, and many contributors live in USA ;) Anyway... don't you play baseball in Canada? Otherwise, I'm quite sure that the non-verbal communication can also use an hockey stick or a cricket bat?!

"I couldn't think of what to say in response.": try non-verbal communication! As you live in USA, I would advice the baseball bat... easy to find in your country, it's a very efficient way of silent communication with a boss... ... with the advantage of a double use: first external, then...

No. AFAIK, proof generated from the 1-bitt TIFF outputted by the RIP are: - either FPO low-res proof: "FPO" means For Placement Only, and are used only to check the good placement of all the element of the page: check if all the texts are correct, no words or letters missing, no special signs...

Me neither! it was just a joke-question ;) That being said, I did know some press-women... but you're right, they are rare :( So, to carry on with the joke, perhaps female printers say that "they print to pay the credit card debt that their husbands racked up while they were printing, because...

And what do female printers say?
