No worries, man.  (you don't think i went a bit overboard with the explanation?)

I remember the first job I ever sent to a printer came out the wrong colour.  Luckily, the printer I used was very helpful, and enjoyed teaching me how to go about getting really good quality prints.  Since then, part of my job has become large format digital printing, so I understand a lot of the pitfalls that people can come across when getting print jobs done, and know a few tricks for getting nice quality prints.

remember, It doesn't matter how good you are as an artist or designer, if you don't have at least some understanding of print, you'll generally be disappointed with the outcome.

the main thing to remember is, if you don't know, or aren't sure, just ask the printer   Mostly, they'll be only too pleased to impart bits of knowledge and show how clever they are.  erm..
