Question about whether CMYK greens should be pushed warm or cool after a proof in Atlanta went wrong
A pressman in Atlanta showed me last Thursday that my "safe" yellow-heavy green mix looked olive on the actual shirt because the shop's ink room was 8 degrees warmer than mine, so now I'm stuck wondering if you all trust your proof or your gut when the two disagree, and which one has burned you less?

Wait, the ink room was 8 degrees warmer? That is a huge swing and nobody flagged it before you went to press? That alone would mess with your green way more than any proof ever could. I have seen warm rooms push yellows and greens toward olive fast, so your gut was probably right and the proof was just plain lying to you. Proofs lie all the time because they don't know what your shop feels like that day. Trust the press sheet and the ink room temp over a proof that never met your actual conditions.
