im amazed at the amount of "winging it" that goes on in digital. there are so many ppl in the industry who waste so much time pretending that they know whats going on and dont, and they are the last to be seen when push comes to shove.

Of course deadlines are important, but if I was in power at our client's office, I would delay the launch date by at least another week. My point was that people sacrifice EVERYTHING on the altar of deadlines, even when the rush is their own fault. And that is simply bad business.

If the printer messed it up, then you should be able to get them to re-print it on their own dime.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?

summary for the ADD crowd: the printer arsed up what would have been a really beautiful print job. In light of the massive cost, we will not reprint.

Just kidding, Gramme - 'ha 'ha'.
That sucks - really, I can just about begin to imagine - but, as Dennis_Moore says - get the bastard scum to do it again - they screwed up, not you.

That sounds to me like such a litany of gross incompetence that I really am left wodnering firstly why nobody went the extra mile to oversee such a biog job on press, and also, why in the hell a printer would be 'fattening up' type?
To lose a quarter of an inch off a book size is beyond comprehension... did they trim it wrong? did they condense the artwork? did they actually go to the trouble of re-designing it page by page to make the page sizes smaller in a 'legitimate' way?
I don;t know gramme... I sense your anger and frustration, but I wonder if its enough to blame the printer here and not look a little closer to home. I appreciate the hours and the passion and energy you put in, but I recently had a 2k simple flyer printed up and made sure I was on press to oversee it.
Sorry.

hell yeah! if it looked good at the time of press check it should be easy to demonstrate how they screwed up. Ask for re prints or a nice discount.

...and in light of the tremendous waste of paper. The printer would have to call their insurance agency for financial support, the job was that costly. Also, the client already sent out a bunch of kits.
