Rant:Expensive Typos

Post by cards2468 »

So our race team got our track jackets back from the embroiderer, and on the back, stitched very largely is "PARKS RACING Saint Louis Univeristy"

$130 per uniform set... What the hell am I supposed to do with these jackets?

Did they give you a proof of the artwork before the jackets printed?

If not, you can try to nail the printer for the cost of the re-print.

We sent them the design with correct spelling, he created a proof and our team president went to check it out and give his approval. He didn't catch it, so it could be as much our fault as his, but the guy that did the work for us is an alumnus of Parks College and has been really good with us with costs and being timely with orders, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue to get the problem solved, but it's gonna be a pain to pull out all the threads and re-stitch it all.

He picked an awesome word to misspell. I'm not sure I'd fix it. :wink:
