alibryan are you guys hiring? I've been at this for 30 years...it is ALWAYS prepress's fault. Customer's file is bad? pull out the turd polish. Or the ever-popular "well the last place never had a problem with our Powerpoint presentation placed in Corel Draw and saved as a PDF and embedded in Pagemaker file....what's transparency anyway?" Plates are out of calibration? Have prepress generate a new curve-nevermind we haven't cleaned the processor in weeks. Pressman can't hold the highlights? - What do you mean the colorbar shows this is a press issue -just add 5% and give us another plate ASAP!
