In this episode we're joined by Deb Sonzo the New Business Acquisitions and Accounts Manager at Music Graphics Chicago a division of Leo Graphics Chicago. With a background in art, and a musician herself, Deb is on the front lines of getting art proofed, printed and to your favorite record pressing plant to assemble the project. From short runs to thousands of copies, they’re perfecting the digitally printed record jacket one unit at a time. We’re also joined by a pop-in guest Jamie Riani who is the owner of the company, and has tons of experience in print houses over the course of his career. This episode dispels some of the confusion around dpi, PMS, RGB, CMYK, and any other design acronym you can come up with along with why templates and proofreading are so important.

This is one of our last episodes of the year and 2022 season, so we want to take a moment to thank you again for spending your time with us, learning and demystifying the vinyl community.
