A Note to the Rep

[zebralittle52]

Please be aware your ad is printed on in the newspaper. On newsprint. Newsprint is the cheapest form of paper out there. They don't even ad clay to it, (which is why it's gray and not white,) because that would cost money. And because it has no clay in it, printed colors will look like mud. Period. SO, no matter how many times you return an ad to us, no matter how many times you underline that you want a "True Red", it will look like mud. A big splot of reddish mud. And unless you're willing to shill out the dough for an ad somewhere else, it will continue to look like mud.

For ever.

Or at least until the newsprint disintegrates, which, trust me, won't be long.

Bleargh... I have to say, for sheer stupidity, that's even a step beyond, "All the colors on my client's website are too dark!"

Me: *walks over to desk and adjusts monitor settings*

Sales Rep: Oh. Well. I was just sayin'.

Guess one of the many reasons why I don't freelance anymore...
