Yes it is that time of year...the wedding jobs have been rolling for a month or so now without too much problem...until yesterday...
Mother of the bride walks in with two pieces of card stock with borders printed on them. She also has a flash drive. She wants me to print a sample of her invite and RSVP on the stock and then she is going to send them to the bride to look at. When I about had a conniption she looked at me and said "will that be a problem?"
I explained ...
Problem is they are going on the press so I have to set up for each one print one and then wait for a couple days to finish printing them. I told her it would be an extra $30 since we charge around $15 to burn a plate.
"OH"
So now I have to call her when I get one printed and she will race right over and ok it before I run the rest...oh ya she is bringing the rest when she comes to proof it...
The really funny thing is they are Plain Jane invites and RSVP cards...nothing special....I have done 100's of them, but they still want to see them before I run them.
Another funny thing...They set them up very small in the middle of each card. I mean tiny... I called her and told her. She asked if it could be enlarged. And I said "sure, come and get the flash drive and bring it back when you have them the size you want them"
"OH you can't do it?"
"Yes but I will have to charge you to manipulate the files."
"OH"
People don't think... and I know I am just as guilty in areas I don't know anything about, but seeing the same thing day in and day out just grinds on that nerve a little.
So tomorrow I get to run my proofs...I put them on the bottom of the stack and ran everything else first so I would get madder standing around waiting for someone to show up while I have jobs to get off the press.
We have been very busy this week...things are picking up.
