Why is it that 80% of the posts are "issues" with digital printers or printing?

This subject has been beaten to death dozens and dozens of times. There's a need for all of it. From eyes to hand coordination to observing what you manipulate on a monitor to outsourcing and doing relatively nothing. I'm not retired yet, but I am trying to slow down with personal problems at home and business lately. Having grown up in an era when hand/eye was the only way.....I did get a lotta skills in designing, layout, balance and many other areas from the actual color wheel to making something realistic..... cartoonish to just plain commercial. Can ya mix 'em and come up with ssomething good ?? I suppose so, but usually, it's by accident of you weren't trained properly.

I just bid on a sign earlier where the other sign shop gave them 2 options and they were identical. Both were below decent par from type styles, to colors, to whatever. 20" square sign mounted on a wall....... $975.00 + permits and whatever else they tacked on top, just for so.

I told them, usually in a church congregation, there has to be someone who can dig a 30" hole, put a post in it and set it plumb.

$365.00 + tx

Man who touches printers inappropriately.
Yup, the heavy lifting is easy to outsource, just gotta be careful asking the congregation for help when it comes to the actual design work...
