My point is not that printers should care about design. They should just have enough respect to actually use their clients.
You know, if you run a big ad agency, that has the Buick account, you drive a Buick, to show your respect to the people who butter your bread.
The work for printers comes largely from designers. They should have the decency to use our services from time to time.
And the gag about the electrician and his clothes is not at all analogous to what I'm talking about. The electrician doesn't make his money from clothing designers, largely. And most everyone understands that his work will get him dirty, and etc. So we don't expect electricians to dress like bankers.
But we should fucking expect these printers who make most of their dosh from designers to put out some decent brochures and collateral once in awhile, instead of the shitty matchbooks and dreck they usually have.
