Overheard a print shop guy say his proof looked fine on screen but came out neon green
Turned out the client's massive EPS file had an embedded RGB gradient that nobody caught until after the run of 500 brochures hit the floor.

Last time I trusted a screen proof, I printed 200 party flyers that looked like a swamp monster vomited on them. Turned out my monitor's color calibration was so off, it thought neon green was beige. The client laughed, but I didn't - I had to redo the whole job at cost. Now I always do a test print on cheap paper first, even if it takes extra time.
