I deal with "print designers" often. I tell them that THEY will have to=20
convert the images to web format (RGB colors instead of CMYK colors) and=20
final web size before supplying to the customer/me if they are using=20
programs I don't have, or if they won't surrender all the parts and pieces=
=20
to put items into web format. Including the details -- like the name and=20
maker of a font, etc.

And I tell the customer that if their print designer won't cooperate, they=
=20
should find a new one, one that is experienced in both print and web --=20
there are plenty out there. If that doesn't remove the stick from the print=
=20
designer's *** and make them "get with the program", nothing will.

Most fonts have both a PC and a Mac version. If I have to buy a font in the=
=20
PC version to re-create something, that cost gets included in my bill.=20
There is no reason for the designer to withhold that font / other detail=20
information. I also point that out to the customer, let them know their=20
print designer is trying to hold them hostage and limit the customer's=20
ability to accomplish something. That usually works, the customer will=20
pressure the print designer.

Just my 2=A2
