Quality is Job One

If some customized product sold by an artist turns out badly, it is NOT the printing company who gets blamed in the customer’s mind, it’s the artist. I’m now worried.

    That’s just one of our occupational hazards. After years of experience in producing commercial material for printing I have had to adjust to making sure that what’s on my screen is going to be printed properly. In the past we had hard machine proofs now with POD we (if our art is prepared correctly) live in hope that our customers receive prints as we intended, then again the client may have been seeing different colour casts etc on their screen than what you see on your callibrated screen…. a can of worms. The best way to overcome this, if ones resources will allow it, is to order sample prints first.

    It is an occupational hazard, yes. Unfortunately, I’m used to having hands on proofs and being able to pull at will from a production run.

    I run calibrated screens which are tested and verified for accuracy on a daily basis at network refresh. I run a bank of screens, not just one, blowing from hot to cold and spanning the gammas.

    And…you mention exactly what happned. I ordered a sample of one of my products and…....I’m worried now.
