...another classic scenario is (as it has happened to our studio boss), a PDF (or Pretty Damn Frenetic) job was sent via email "MUST BE PRINTED TONIGHT!!!" sort of affair...

...happily imposing this file he replied with a ripped and imposed pdf file for the client to check, the boss viewing with overprint ON in acrobat and the client viewing the pdf in a free reader, no overprint preview option there...

...viewing the artwork in Quark 7, no white artwork visible as this was an imported eps file, set to overpint in illustrator...

...the designer had changed a black overprinting object to white, with very little warning of this he proceeded to place this file into Quark 7...

...printed and folded to 6 page 250,000 copies with this intricate white background missing...

...a real sickener...

:cry:

...from the bosses point of view it was the designers fault, clear and simple, the arrogance was amazing...

...God only knows what he'd have said if it was anyone else in the studio...

...he'd have looked at us very much like this: :twisted:

...mind you, he looks like this anyway...
