true true enough.
i can imagine since you worked at a printer, you prolly saw your share of clients that couldnt be bothered for a check and then came back bitching about issues that could have been worked out had they cared enough to meet with the pressman

one story and i'm out.
one time a client came in and wanted this magazine printed. 4 color throughout, with UV gloss on the cover. probably 48 pages or so. run of about 10,000.
printed the whole thing, sent it out for the UV (we didn't have the equip) bound it and delivered.
Client calls screaming about the cover... it seems that the designer must have accidentaly slipped with the airbrush tool in PS, and there was a big black splotch right in the middle of the cover. It was weird... you didn't notice it at first - but when i was told what was wrong, it looked soooo obvious.
anyway...
they reprined the bitch.

is digital print bad quality? I don't know the difference. I just don't want it to look like it's cheap.

that's tough to say. I've seen good and i've seen bad.
i may be wrong but i don't think it would've been cost effective at all to go offset for ony 150.

ive found that digital presses look a tad more dull than offset, and the dots are a wee more coarse. but it looks printed and not color copies- so it wont look cheap at all

that's good to know, as long as it's not canon copier prints then I can sleep at night.
thanks again for your wisdom. night

i didn't realize it's a two color job...
that makes things more simple. If you picked the colors off a pantone swatch book, then you'll have a pretty reliable output.
CMYK gets much more complex.
