Hi Richard, Sounds awful. The ProFile scheme would be perfect for this sort of thing, if you'd supplied the client with proof prints. I don't know what's going on with ProFile ... anyone else?
If i were you, i'd do some profiled prints that i'd done myself, and get some others to do some too (I'd be happy to oblige, if you want to email me a file or two) and send them to both the client and the printer. And then i would get very arsey with the printer. If you are a member of the aop you could then get a solicitors letter demanding proper practice from the printer - but i do feel that you should stick to your guns and give them hell, as it's such a let down and an awful thing which might effect the realtionship with your client, cheers, slater -- Slater King > From: Richard Lewisohn > The prints look terrible.
