    Thanks though. Maybe I just got a bad copy of it, just about the whole issue seems jacked on the printing and color management side of things.

    don't hate the player... hate the contact proof and the person who signed off on it, then hate the person who approved the press sheet, then hate the press man.

    honestly my copy does not look too bad. could have brought up the midtones in the snow a little more. the magenta in the snow could have come down a little, but all in all it's not bad. looks like nice thick just moving to dusk light.

    it's a sweet shot, be happy.

    It's not supposed to be a magenta, but a blue cast! The shot of wilson looks like I took it with a fun saver disposable camera.

    it's not too magenta, but there is some in there and in my mind it should come down a little. it's not bad bad tho.

    the mike wilson shot is kinda whack but mostly cause that sheet is out of registration. the blue sky is almost too blue in that one.

    really dude, web presses are hard. if they are not printing with a good printer or someone does not really have their eyes turned on when checking (which is high stress seeing how fast you are blowing through paper) it's easy for these things to happen.

    i don't think these are too bad and you should be happy you got shots. printing is printing, i know you want to show as best you can, but sometimes things are out of your control.
