| Hi,
I've recently designed a magazine advert for a client. Amongst other things
the advert included two logos. One logo was set as 100% opacity and was
positioned in the upper left-hand corner of the advert. The other logo was
a much larger version and was offset in the bottom right-hand side of the
advert. I set the opacity of this logo to 30% as it was used as a
background to the advert and some text appears over it on another layer.
The advert displays fine on my monitor, my clients monitor and the magazines
monitor. The advert also prints fine on my printer and my clients printer.
The problem is that the advert that appears in the magazine shows the large
logo at 100% opacity and some of the text that appears over it is now
unreadable.
I produced the advert using Illustrator CS and converted and sent it to the
publication as a PDF.
There has obviously been a mistake somewhere and I believe it must be with
the publishers as the PDF I sent them clearly shows the large logo set at
30% opacity.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me their opinion on this
situation as the advert placement cost my client a staggering £1200.00! and
I'm hoping that the problem isn't my fault!
Best regards,
Sonars UK

What did the publisher say about the issue? It is possible for the
publisher to open the .pdf in AI CS and adjust it if they are having
issues with it. Did you provide a printed proof with the .pdf file as a
reference? Did the publisher send a proof to the client before printing?

| Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
We are waiting for the publisher to reply to our query. The magazine was
only released today so they have got to look into the issue further. In
answer to your other questions a printed proof was not provided as a
reference and the publisher did not send a proof to my client before
printing. I have learnt my lesson for the future though as I will always
provide and ask for proofs.
For reference here are a couple of links that illustrate my problem further:
The file emailed to the publisher: http://www.smdwebsites.co.uk/correct.pdf
How the file appears in the magazine:

The printer is also a fool.
You both screwed up and you both should share the cost of reprinting the
job.

| That's not a very nice (or constructve) reply is it!?!
I understand the point you are trying to make and I have said that I have
learnt my lesson and will use proofs in the future. I am at the begining of
a very steep learning curve and am doing my best here. Your reply Lon
showed a certain level of ignorance and I don't know why you use newsgroups
if you are not willing to share your knowledge with helpful answers or
suggestions.
The only explanation I can see is that the printer has manually changed the
opacity from 30% to 100%. I can't understand why and I am looking forward
to their reply. When I spoke to the publisher yesterday that opened the
file and confirmed that the large logo's opacity was set to 30%.

You have made another error. You don't get to define how newsgroups work,
or how they are used. Now run along and try and figure out how you are
going to pay for that job to be reprinted.
