On a general note...do people just not pursue excellence anymore? Do you guys experience this in dealing with various vendors/artists – be they printers or photographers? I'm not old enough to know, but is it really true that in the paste-up days this kind of thing just didn't happen? I mean...we only hire the best printers in the U.S. Does "best" mean anything anymore???
I just talked to my dad about this. He's much older and wiser than I. He used to work for a rinky-dink offset shop in Texas. He was livid on my behalf, and stunned that my boss did not squarely demand for the whole campaign to be recycled and reprinted at the printers' cost. He said they never would have let something like this occur, even at their po-dunk little offset shop – and if it did happen, they would eat the cost – call the insurance company, if they had to – rather than foist something so shoddily constructed on the world.
