Hello all, I wonder if anyone can advise me on whether the following scenario is something I should have expected in this situation:
I have submitted a CMYK file (from a digital shot, converted to US Swop coated V2 as per their instructions) to a company for printing on a 2500 postcard run (4" x 6", not a very big print run). The company sent the postcards today, and they vary in colour. Some are just right with a neutral grey background as per the file, some have a distinct magenta cast and some are neutral but darker. I have not used this company before and the quality of the card itself is excellent, apart from this. I see this as a major problem. If it were my print run I would not be happy. But I have no experience with offset printing. Is this perhaps the best that can be hoped for? I would appreciate any input. I don't see the fault as my own, as the colour is correct on two of the three, with one density correct. I have a cooling-off period as they will not be open to hear my comments until Monday, but I would like to know what would be reasonable to expect.
