Printing problems

I shot myself in the foot here - since deciding that I would digitally print for CMV, I left printing my concertina book until the last minute thinking that it would be easy. On the day I had my print slot booked, James was ill and the digital resource was closed. This was on the Thursday, and the work had to be packaged and ready to go by 4pm on Friday. James was still ill on Friday, so a small group of us managed to plead with some of the IT staff to open the resource so we could print.

I decided very much at the eleventh hour that I just wanted to submit a single print for the show, and not the whole concertina. I'd seen the problems that some of my peers had had trying to make books against the clock. That book was such a labour of love I didn't want to do myself short by ruining it.

This is not a professional approach (and I was reminded as such by Fred), but it didn't do any harm this time. But I really need to stop just cutting deadlines like this, or I'll run into serious trouble one day. If I had decided to submit a single print earlier then I would have screen printed it, as opposed to digitally printing it.
