this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph, your printer has produced these magazines for a hella long time, right?

Yes, although we switched from their web-fed press to digital printing back in May. That said, they've obviously printed everything correctly between May and now, so I can't quite believe that it's the digital printing process.

Yes, there are prepress settings,

I output everything exactly the way they asked us to, so if they changed their settings and didn't tell us, I'm going to go Wolverine on them.

frankly, it sounds like newPerson at the printer changed a pdf standard when they turned on Overprint Preview (maybe? I'm not a printer, and don't play one on tv, and haven't done a presscheck in 10 years) OR they've upgraded their software and it's not as friendly to the PDF standard you have from them, and they know it's different and don't want to eat the reprint.

Right?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Have either you or the printer upgraded any software, Steph? That's one place where fonts go wonky.

The printer tells us the production team turned on Overprint Preview in Acrobat and saw that the boxes would overprint black. (And then helpfully printed the entire press run.)

This is the smoking gun. Regardless of how it happened, they should have called you. They should eat it.

Actually, Bonny, I just wanted your address, for non-stalkery reasons!

Stalkery reasons would be fine too!

I'm actually having rice pasta and it IS FG. It's DeBoles multi-grain penne. I had a talapia filet that wanted cooking, so I popped it in some Classico pasta sauce and made poor person's ciappino over noodles.

It's good!

Oh Jilli, love, I am so sorry about your Grandma Vida. We Miracleborns are thinking of you and your Dad and Pete. We love you sweetheart.

Jilli, so sorry about about your Grandma Vida's passing, and ~ma to you, your family and especially your Dad since that is what worries you most.

Vortex, I share your rage at your boss.

Yes, Vortex's boss needs a massive cluesticking.

Dear god, I thought my conference call tonight was at 9:30. It's at 10:30. I don't know if I can stay awake that long. She swears it'll only last a half-hour...
