We have a two page tech sheet that we've been using since 1992 and have always supplied it to those who request it, who we think need it or who we know is a new designer/customer. At best, one in ten learn something from it.
Not to sound harsh but in the end it is the designers resposibility to know the math and logic besides the creativity of design. If they weren't schooled on it then shame on the education system that claims to offer design degrees. Many people, but not myself :wink: , can make things look pretty on screen, that doesn't make them graphic designers. (Hence those who use Publisher). The designers who do best with is are the ones that ask specifically for a sheet of instructions/checklists on their own and a follow up report on how the project went. It's the self absorbed designers who think they know everything and wont work with you or listen to what you have to say because they are so "good" that give us the most difficult problems.
If my explanation of how to fix their file takes more than five minutes, then I always offer my services to teach them how to set their files up correctly for $100/hr. Just call me Professor Jalan. Prepress and Press should be a requirement at education faciliites. 101 and higher.
