Interpretation of Wrap Proof Notes

[briankb]

We recently finished a car wrap and found someone to print and install the wrap for the client.

Today we received the proof and all three pieces were printed on 3M material and the wrap itself is supposed to be on 3M media and laminate. However on the proof it reads "Avery 2012" with what looks like printer settings.

Since part of the price we negotiated was that it will be printed on 3M and laminated with 3M, I'm confused by the Avery 2012 written on the proof. I've attached a scan of the proof.

Can someone tell me what the notes mean?

Who is "Webster Avery?" Ask him, I think he dd the job in "2012"

It means you should call your printer...

I emailed them and the reply was "Those are internal notes for production." - duh.

btw "Webster" is not the name of the client or us so I ASSuming it is the name they gave to the machine (printer) they used for the proof and final wrap.

Might just be the profile they used.

To me it looks like the tech was "Webster", he used a profile called "Avery 2012" to print your material, and the other notes look like adjustments he made to that profile for your job.
If the material says 3M on the back, it's 3M. Most of our materials here are printed on settings not called 3M anywhere, even though most is 3M material.

That sounds about right.

Thanks! That sounds about right to me too.
