To Bad, So Sad, My printer rejected my project

[Raya]

Sigh,

And just a few weeks before the show. I get this email...

After reviewing your files with my superiors, I sadly have to inform you that due to the content of the images supplied for printing, we are unable to accommodate the production of your order. While we are open to the idea of helping people realise their creative ideas, we are forced to turn away work that may be considered offensive or pornographic, mainly out of respect for the men and women in our facility who run our presses and other machinery. We hope you respect and understand our stance on this issue. Please feel free to contact us with any questions at all.

I really didn't think they would have such an issue. OK so maybe the sticker is over the top.

Can I get some opinions and maybe someone knows an actual industry printer...

I feel so pornographic

Thanks,

It was to be expected.

The question is not "are they excessive?" but

"Could they be alledged to be excessive by the lowest, scummiest political correctness extremist in the place with an axe to grind, a wallet to fill or both ?"

The answer is yes.

So the balls-less business owner will not process them. Or, he *knows* that he'll get in infinite trouble and it's not worth the trouble to him.

Unless you have a contract with him... Then, he'll have to honor his contract. Ask him to pay for your troubles of finding out a new printer. Ask for his help to send you to one of his competitor. These guys knows who does what. Let him have a glimpse of what might happen to him if he doesn't honor his contract...

Another suggestion: go to very small print shops, ran privately, sometimes family businesses with a limited number of employees.

I've used Doug from http://photoimp.com/ several times for my show priniting. Adult friendly, great quality and even better pricing.
