I think this is the only solution to optimize the reproduction and print
process.
Adjust images in the file. Not on the press.
Oh my...I simply must tell you about the best on-press image adjustment
I ever had to do.
We were getting ready to run an annual report for a fairly large--not
quite Fortune 500 but if there's a Fortune 1000 they would have been
somewhere around 650. You really don't want to see these pieces come
across the threshold.
Anyway, the designer, the head of the agency who built the book, and
four high-ranking officers of the company showed up to do a press
check. I'd seen these folks before and normally they were real upbeat.
Not that day.
The company president said he had a very big task for us to do, and
we needed to do it right away. He was real apologetic about it too.
He pointed at a picture of one of the company vice presidents and
said, "You see this guy? (Who was, incidentally, on just about every
page in the book.) I need you to go through this entire file and remove
him everywhere he appears." Turns out that the day before the press
check, they had to call the police and have this man hauled off for
embezzlement--SERIOUS embezzlement, to the tune of well over
$40,000. We wound up being able to remove him from a lot of
the pages by just putting red tape on the film where he was, which
blocks light from reaching the plate underneath.
