P.S. More on color printing

It’s really common for people to not know about using minimal amounts of K for print. I once got my posters printed at a local print shop and the person who did all of my prints LIGHTENED ALL OF MY FILES (without asking or confirming with me) by like 5% and then printed a ton of copies of like 15+ files with this adjustment. I was furious. I made them reprint the better half of everything with the file exactly the way I delivered it, untouched, because I already have very little K in my images to begin with. When I confronted the owner of the shop about this situation, he said that this worker probably did this adjustment for most of their customers and thought that I would appreciate the same treatment as well.

Moral of the story: don’t mess with my files! LOL
