Rich - you are missing the point here. I CAN'T fire the printer. These are
ads prepared for publication. The advertising agency is my client. We
usually don't even know who the printer is - the ads are sent to the pub.
I am not saying this is the norm. But I have seen enough examples of it -
inconsistency in output from random samples of magazines - that I can't
count on the quality of the output. I have to count on someone else to
monitor the consistency of output, and that person is probably an employee
of some unknown printer.

That's pretty extreme, Mark, but your example is not the norm. Posting that
is a bit like citing 9/11 as an example of air travel. Fire the printer
although I'm sure they were quite inexpensive.

C'est la vie but your proof is not going to fix crappy printing. And I
dare say that that press run wasn't going to match your proof, either.
