[QUOTE="the_taste_of_cigarettes:581518"]Here is what I sent as a note to the printer. I also sent this in an email: "The files I have are for Dan, and are located at ((EDIT)) . It is the only file in there (HT004). The zip file is quite large (320+ MB) but it contains the EPS files -- along with some PDF and JPG [b]proofs[/b] of these files -- that he needs to run our job with Wonderdrug Records. It will take some time to download, but this appeared to be the best solution. Please call me with any questions or when the file is being opened so I can comment on the files." (they didn't call me, I had to call them) And this is what I sent to Ken. I also sent several notes to the printers saying "DO NOT RUN from the EPS" along with a text file that I will post the screenshot of in a second, but (this was to the printer): "Again, to make sure that back panel of the tray card looks smooth, I'd like to run from the EPS files (should be the exact same thing) for at least that particular portion of that job." It appears that my communication with ken about the EPS files was both a voice mail and a phone conversation where we spoke live. Anyway, here is what I sent as a note to the printer, along with several conversations to 2 members of their staff about what I needed: [img]http://www.thetasteofsilver.com/faust/readme.gif[/img] This is what I got back from the printer: [img]http://www.thetasteofsilver.com/faust/HTWrongBack.gif[/img] As you can see, this is a screenshot from the PDF. It's very blocky. As the printer was opening this, and I looked at it, I told him that I was uncomfortable with that and just run the job from EPS, a vector based format. He said ok but then proofed from the PDF proofs (like a copy of a copy of a copy... kind of thing). I called him back and said the color looks better, but please don't run from the PDF. He said he wouldn't. Here is what the back was supposed to look like, and did look like, after they ran from the RIGHT files: [img]http://www.thetasteofsilver.com/faust/HTRightBack.gif[/img] The other files, unfortunately, were run from the PDFs as well, which I told them I would only send as proofs because the printer claimed that the proofs he had, which were JPG, weren't enough (I would never send just JPG proofs, this is from Sands Media Group who, for some reason, Ken uses for "design".) I wonder what would have happened if I didn't make a gillion phone calls and know graphics design software this well. What if your band can't make all those calls, doesn't get involved completely, doesn't know the software so in depth? What gets risked then? We put over a year of our lives into making this CD, and I would have liked it treated with more care. [/QUOTE]
