I designed something for a client, and they had a guy "who could handle printing".
Well, it came out all messed up. Colors are off, and cropped badly.
What's done is done, and they're not going to do it again.
Would you say something or move on?

Move on. It's there fault for not listening. Not yours.

move on, just say something next time they want to handle print themselfs.

Storm into their office and shred the printed items in a fit of rage

If your name is attached to it, and the world is going to see it...

Only say something if they complain to you about the quality. Let them know that you would handle it in the future to make sure it looks right instead of handing it off to some "guy" who wasn't involved.

if this is the first time it ever happened to you, get down on yr knees and thank the good lord.

A guy "who could handle printing" = "my kid's out of school for the summer and thinks he knows everything" =P

Wow, ok, didn't think I wasn;t going to say anything, but that seems to be the advice.

My point is, word of mouth, if the client has potential leads to more work, and he's asked to show an example of your work, you know.

But, off colors and bad cropping won't even be noticed by anyone except for the designer who knows how it should be. To everyone else it's correct, so ZOOP, it's a non-issue.

Cropped very badly. Stuff is cut off.
- =( but they don't want to do it again?ZOOP

What horton said, i doubt the client will bother to explain how they outsourced the printing and that it wasn't your doing.

i'm sure they know they fucked up. i personally wouldn't mention it 'cause it wouldn't gain me anything but ego pointing out their mistake to them again

I think they got printing for free, just wish I had been there to guide. They said they had it covered.

My name isn't on it either, but obviously I'm pissed.

You could walk right up to them and be like...
lol... nooo =P
