Sporadic green tint?
Hello everybody..I’m new to the forums. I have published a few fine-art photography books at Blurb and am, overall, very impressed with the reproduction quality. However, having now ordered several copies of all my books (on seperate occassions), I’m finding that roughly one out of five times (meaning different orders, but from the same on-line file) the images all contain a pronounced greenish tint. The first few times I mostly disregarded it (though perhaps shouldn’t have). The last time I emailed support and they were extremely polite and almost immediuately sent a new book to me (even before having received my old version). The new book is, as I suspected, perfect. Which leads me to my question (and frustration): how can I be assured of getting roughly the same print quality from the same, existing, on-line file? It matetrs a great deal in the case of a book consisting mostly of toned B&W images. Is there a way to, perhaps, include/email/snail-mail a test-print or something that would prevent a "green tint" to appear in some orders but not others? Anybody else have this issue? Thanks, Andy Ilachinski

I should add that I know about sRGB, and always convert my image files. The issue is not that the prints are bad – indeed, most are very good – but that *sometimes* an otherwise good file gets printed with a pronounced green tint. Just want to be clear about the issue. -Andy
