they were very good about it, conceeding it was set up wrong and all proofs were signed off and press passes done - we conceeded we should have spotted it - so somewhere in your "workflow" make some provision for checking for "white overprints" |
I've had the same issue with white text set to overprint since I always keep overprint preview turned on. The bad part is that the customer will print to a laser printer and the text will be knocked out and then you have to explain the difference between their $150 laser printer and our megabucks workflow.
Just an FYI, but with Pitstop you can do the "Knockout White" function in global change under the Prepress tab and I think you could also set up an action list or a profile to do this. Pitstop Server could accomplish this also and I know Odystar has that functionality also.
