Spec sheets
[It would be great if printers could send out a checklist or fact sheet about the proper way they woudl like to receive files.]
Every place I've worked at, there is always a spec sheet sent out. Designers will follow it for a few weeks. But it's much easier for them to do a half-ass job and get it off their desk. (If it looks good on the screen or on their 8.5 x 11 then its good to go)
Or an agency will switch designers for cheaper prices and the cycle starts again. Plus if the art is being done a different printers, they aren't going too build files to two specs.
I've had a designer show up and I showed them all the things wrong with their files, next file was ther same way. Simple stuff, clean the pallette so there isn't umpteen spot colors and chill out on the transparencies etc.
Then again, if all the files were built right, I wouldn't have a job.[/quote]
