Saw a guy at FedEx Office argue with the clerk about neon green prints
He kept saying the screen showed bright green but the prints came out puke colored. Told him to check his color space and he just got louder. Has anyone actually gotten a print shop employee to explain CMYK vs RGB without getting an eye roll?

Maybe the clerk was just being honest and the guy's screen is actually the one lying to him... you ever calibrate a monitor? Because I did mine last year and realized all my "bright green" designs were actually way off from what anyone else would see. The puke color might be the real green in that printer's color profile.

Walked into that exact same trap myself once. Told the guy at the counter my screen looked like radioactive slime and he just sighed and handed me a color calibration card. Nobody wants to hear about sRGB vs Adobe RGB when they're just trying to print birthday signs. That puke green is basically a right of passage at this point.
