Hi Eric.
Well..........there's also no excuse in this day and age
commissioners, producers , pre press and press not to be able to
provide a CMYK spec for repro ( or even agreed RGB space ) but it
still happens far too often
And it's kind of interesting to note that the first major
initiatives for best practice guidelines for the supply of digital
files for repro were instigated by photographers . Mostly because
they were fed up with getting the blame for the errors of others.
The more cost conscious will go where the product costs them less
in the end.
Ultimate cost is more than the sticker price.We find that many
(including the cost conscious) will pay a good rate to get quality
output at the photography stage because in the long term it saves
them money to get it right at the beginning of the chain, and many
seem especially keen to work with those who can support their output
with experience and knowledge , even if that sometimes means ruffling
a few feathers at the other end of the chain <g>.

Bob Marchant.
