yeah you can email it to me or FTP it. PM me and i'll send you my email address. i'll figure out exactly what's going on with it. been kind of slow today with the holiday, and it raining for like the past month here.

well, you have to consider a lot of different things when going to a web. you want to be running rather large quantities of work to make it profitable. the biggest concern for me with webs is quality. when you are running paper through a press that fast things like registration (which can cause color shifting), ink density, etc.. become challenges. you will always (in my humble opinion) get a better quality product on a sheetfed press. you have more control over registration, water/ink balance, and density than a web. not to mention things like makeready times are lower.

so it's really a quality/quantitiy/cost analysis that you should do on a job-by-job basis. of course this is all my opinion from experience. i'm sure others may disagree.

althought a lot of people praise the RGB workflow. i'm not convinced. if i were designing a piece, i would want to start off in CMYK with the proper profile. that way i KNOW for sure what the final piece should look like.
