Seeing the world through rose-colored glasses sounds like a good thing, right? It sure can be, except in print. When your printed images start taking on an extraterrestrial hue, it’s time to take the glasses off and see where this mystical glow is coming from. Recently, one of our customers experienced a rather “rosy” view of the images in our Direct Mail For Printers’ Business Forum newsletter package. Frustrated with the magenta casts and poor quality images, they contacted us looking for a solution. Our team suspected that double color management was to blame for the less-than-great print quality images our customer was experiencing. So, what is double color management?

When you’re on your next airplane trip, think about this: Over 90% of the flight is spent making in-flight course corrections. Those course corrections are what helps to ensure that when we leave Fargo on a flight bound for Chicago, we’ll actually end up in Chicago and not some corn field in Nebraska! Just like a flight, design benefits from mid-course corrections too. To continue with the flight analogy, the ground crew spent a lot of time last year redesigning all direct mail packages from Marketing Ideas For Printers. The packages were all cleared for takeoff and are now “in the air.” That means there have recently been more opportunities for mid-course design corrections. After all, we want to make sure your direct mail subscriptions are all pointing in the right direction. We want to see these direct mail pieces land properly with you so that you can connect with your prospects and customers! Survey Says The trigger for our most recent mid-course corrections was the direct mail customer satisfaction survey. Each and every month, we follow up the delivery of the latest direct mail content from Marketing Ideas For Printers with that survey. We want you to know that when you submit those customer satisfaction surveys, we listen!
