There’s a lot going on here. First , the proofreader didn’t mark her corrections in non repro blue or use the correct proofreaders marks. The guys in the stripping room didn’t wait for the proof to come back and went ahead and sent the plates out to the pressroom. The pressman didn’t go to the foreman for an OK and the job got run and delivered. The customer accepted it anyway because he thought it was good enough but he won’t pay his bill.
I used to be a proofreader, but I worked for a law firm. Never got to participate in one of these; I was just one of many behind-the-scenes, unsung heroes.
