"Take a look at the graybar at the bottom of the page
next time repro is bad. If it is not uniform, you got an early run paper" -when did you work on a press? Graybars are a thing of the past. Photshop dictates inking, plain and simple. Presses nowadays reach peak speed under 300 copies.
"No matter what you do in Photoshop, the pressmen will make it worse." -what an insult to the press pros in our business! No wonder you no longer work with presses (as you alluded)!
