today it's been a long long day for me..
morning that time
i've a discussion session with my boss and all my colleagues.. the purpose is to discuss on all our output jobs.. actually on every
monday we'll have a meeting or so called
WIP.. well this discussion is to bring out the issue we have each time we had finish all our jobs.. and the most sensitive issue is the
COLOR.. yes it's the bloody color.. and compare with the laser print-outs, digital proof/
progressive proof and the final print-outs by the supplier.. each of them (based on every job) the color is different from those 3 hard copy.. and we even have
argument with it.. most
probably that from our side, the agency from doing the artwork till digital proof, we have to ensure that the color is correct in sense of using it contrast and balance, especially for the picture.. but from the final print-outs is like the color is so out.. i mean have the difference between digital proofs..
and for the digital proof is also out from the screen color and laser print, so what's the solution? boss kinda angry and just shot us non-stop.. and me keep quite at the side.. not that
i'm still fresh and
dont know about the production side, but i should just listen what they all argue about.. boss keep on stressing that we, the designers should ensure every color is correct from the
beginning of the stage and not until the proof is out then only adjust the color and it cost another extra money..
so in the meeting room the table is full with laser print-outs, digital proofs and also printed copy.. i guess
i've learn a lot from this case study.. but the issue is still there, cant even solve it.. even the client also
didnt take it as a serious thing..
aih.. a war had started in the morning..
i
dont think is my fault because it should blame on the color
separator.. sorry i
dont mean to flame them but it's true that they can adjust the color for us and from my side i also need to make sure everything, color, layout, picture.. etc is alright.. then to color
separator's job and to printer's job.. so it wont go wrong right?
guess this is the best solution from all..
just a piece of my mind..
blargh* i just hate a morning like this..
cant imagine if i have 10 meetings in a day?
work kills me
dont u think so?
p/s: i wrote this post is not flaming anybody.. i just write down what i think and it's truth.. i hate today!
