Argument of the day.

2012-06-23 20:42:23.949794+02 by meuon 3 comments

We are doing some very nice looking invoice generation, designed to print on preprinted paper as a background. "R" wants me to print some additional accents in Yellow, White and Blue on the preprinted paper. They have a very nice black only high capacity laser printer:

Me: "I can't print yellow, blue and white on the paper, the printer only prints black".

"R": "yes you can, you are printing gray AND black already".

Sigh.

And if you got them some forms with the colored accents preprinted, they would want you to print white text on top of that.
