invaluable...

all i can say is that from my recent experience at work with a client of ours, i now understand why print production was such an important and invaluable class. i realized today that the swatches you package up in your indesign file are the swatches the printer is going to use when printing your job. this may seem like a "duh" kind of thing, but i kind of always skipped past the step when packaging my files when double checking swatches and what not. so, for the future, i will now remember this step and NOT ignore it, especially when using spot colors.
