Hi James,
of course not every printshop is incompetent. But I’m a printing
engineer who knows the PDF specs as well as their application in
prepress. I used to work in printshops and prepress agencies most of
my professional life (now self-employed), and often had to prepare
data for the printshops that my customers chose. A big one e.g.
requested PDFs as single pages with all text transformed to curves,
others didn’t want bleed or didn’t manage to keep 100% size
(because they "printed" to film using Acrobat’s page size
adaption), color management is over the head of most (I know it’s
difficult, but you can’t avoid professional knowledge forever) etc.
And "of course" they don’t understand the error messages of their
workflow software … :-(
I stop here since it’s off topic on this list, besides ranting
doesn’t help anyone ;-)
Hraban,
That's probably true about the ranting, but it's also nice to know that
people here have real industry experience with this matter! So, thanks
to all of you who know about this kind of stuff, for being here to
bounce our questions off of.
Regards,
Abraham
