Are you sure? I 'know' when my files are the 'right' colour - but that doesn't guarantee the printing... I have just seen a finished catalogue, I took every photograph, 3 ranges of machines, two of these not yet manufactured so computer generated 'photographs'. Pictures generated from the same file but with different labels and possibly flipped 180 degrees having the same CMYK numbers have printed to noticeably differing colours on different pages. Seems to me the difference is that when I shot transparency and the colours were less than perfect I knew it was the responsibility of repro/printer and I had a trannie to prove it. Now when the printer say 'we just print what we are given' it is less clear and there is no third party to blame, but the same file printed to two different colours is pretty conclusive to me...
