| Apr 29, 2016 at 7:50 | comment | added | Paul Taylor | I cant do that because Ive found that's Printers really dont want to tell me the details of the their printing process so I dont know. The gist of my question is the last paragraph. | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 23:56 | comment | added | Dan Wolfgang | I think David's question might be more clearly stated as "can you provide a bit more detail on the output method the printer is using, as well as detail of the processes they follow?" Perhaps the printer's processes are just so loose that saying "any ole' CMYK is fine" is accurate. Or, even less strict and thinking about my experience with the printing press in high school, "hey we have four colors, isn't that enough?" | |

| Apr 28, 2016 at 17:11 | comment | added | David Rouse | The type of printing could come into play, a set of flyers or posters run off in the thousands would be handled differently than an image file run off once on a big inkjet. So could you provide a bit more detail on the type of jobs? | |
