Nice.

But... this reminds me of an issue many years ago when i worked in a design agency. A client's marketing manager had been sent printed samples with spot colours for sign off. She was complaining about the colours not being correct...

It turns out that someone in her team had taken photos of the printed items and emailed them to her because she was on the move. The correctly printed items were photographed in bad light with a camera phone, maybe it was an iPhone 3G around that time... which were then compressed and sent on email, and she was then comparing them on a poor quality PC laptop display...

Sadly she wasn't the only one to raise a similar issue. Another guy was notorious for zooming in on 72dpi low quality images and complaining that the logo wasn't legible or sharp enough :D
