We have a 6-color job on press that has 2 black plates. One is the process black and the other is for an "intense" black. The pressman is having trouble adjusting the registration on one of the two blacks, because when he looks a the target dots he can't tell which one to adjust (they're both black). He wanted us make the targets on one of the black plates bigger so he could tell which one needed adjusting (????). After I stopped laughing... I tried to figure out how he planned to register these different size targets....

Received a file as a .tif, low res, rasterized, 4 color build text, and so dark we couldn't read it. Sales manager walks up and says "yeah, but these guys really know color and graphics, you could learn something from them. Must be your monitor."

Arghh today my boss gave a job ticket. It said first sheet print (pms green, pms blue, pms gray) 3/1. I guess that meant he wanted us to give the back of the letterhead a solid gray. Never seen that before than he bitches at me and tells me to read the ticket??? Im sorry but I havent been introduced to your new code sir.
