If all you can provide is a correctly managed digital file then they have no alternative.
Ive found even in my own humble digital arena a distrust of digital files UNTIL they try them out. In the early days I did indeed produce crap, Lots of it, but Ive moved on and learnt so much from more informed people carrying the torch of digital perfection It was mostly retrievable to someone that wanted to succeed but most operators wanted a coffee break so I lost clients However. There is no reason why anyone supplying digital files can not supply at the same time an inkjet print showing how the files should look. Assuming good colour management we can then in all good faith tell the clients that their preferred printer is the bad guy,the guy that can not convert good managed file to suit his (hers ,no sexist stuff on this list ) preferred printer output Regards Michael Wilkinson. 106 Holyhead Rd, Ketley, Telford, Shropshire.
