  4. Why the color variations?

    Uh...they just sent a new version of their logo and you'll never guess! Color values are more off than before. Now their eps file reads Pantone 144 C, C11 M55 Y100 K1, Hex #DE8703.

    A RIP is like a glorified print queue. Prints can be stored there to allow you to change various medias as needed. You can also assign specific print profiles for those various medias. Really not that hard to learn.

    We never go straight to print with 3rd party files. Why? Because 98% of the time they aren't sized anywhere near their requested size. In the process of checking the files software incompatibility issues cause various anomalies and/or text problems. I can't reiterate enough about converting...
