Living with the digital copies

Hi There

It has printed out very poorly in the magazine.

The worst I have seen in 3 years. I can’t always see how good or bad the drawing is on the proofs.

Some are clear and some look bad but when they are printed, they usually look fine.

This time they did not.

regards David

Hi lester – looks absolutely fine on my MAcbook Pro and on the iMac

How can you have a bad print of the original as in P703 that Lester first posted about but a Mac prints it out OK ?

 

David says the original is poor but Don says his is OK ?

 

Don’t get this ?

Hi folks – sorry I tried an earlier magazine to test with handwrittten amendments in the original frame which was all black and white

 

P703 is clear apart from the coloured drawing – the problem there is that it’s a CAD multicolour multi layer drawing and the graphics conversion looks as though the image has been scanned then inserted as a picture frame into the publishing program instead of converting the CAD file to a graphic image – I can still read the dimensions (just) on the image but it isn’t as clear as it should be.

 

The difficulty will be that when Dave sees the proofs it will depend what monitor he’s using and what resolution the graphics card can manage I would imagine he’s not got a full size graphics workstation at home though I stand to be corrected

Hi There

When I said the original was poor I meant reproduction in the magazine.

The original drawing looks ok.

regards David
