There should be nothing on the ballot proof sheet specifying oval color. That information should be placed into the ballot specifications.
An excellent idea!
Should we re-distribute the "Ballot Specifications Revision E" by Email to our existing customers or by fax or by and mail? Or should we tell the customer verbally?
How do we get the "information" to the most important point in the ballot creation process, the guy who puts the ink in the press? If the wrong ink is used, where will the finger be pointing for the cost of the reprint? At Global's Ballot Specifications Revision E, (whenever it will be issued) the salesman, the support person, the President?
Why not simplify life and have the "information" obvious to the "separate ovals, thick ovals" user every time it is used?
Then the finger will be pointed either at the customer who should have informed the printer or the printer who reads it on every film and plate.
I would prefer the responsibility for the correct printing job (colour of ink) be placed on the printer, however we get it there.
