hmm...interesting thought there Marco. I didn't spend that much time with them. But they print my files just fine, know what defaults are, and change nothing unless you tell them to.
So, I think that implementing one suggestion from a complete stranger is a good thing, seeing as how hours and days with clients and workmates in Canada over eight years didn't seem to click. Many still assign everything in every which direction and ask me where the color management swatchbook is.
Interesting thing here: if you tell someone "this is the right way" they do it. Give a them a chapter to read on CM and they read the whole book. Tell them the the world does this, they do it. Then, after they assimilate the workflow they deconstruct it to see how and why it works and come back at you with questions.
Halfway across the world and I'm still calibrating other people's monitors...aiya.
