[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4298723, member: 2011"] Yeah, funny when you take it to the mechanic: "Nothing is wrong." Sorry Scott, but I doubt you have never seen an issue like this. Sure, if you hands are perfectly clean and dry, you should be ok. But, I have never seen this level of smudginess (is that a word?) in a DND core product. I used the 1E PHB, DMG, and MM heavily for 10 years (and had to re-tape 2 our of the 3 edges) and did not get the kind of smear results I am getting immediately in these recent books. Ditto for the 2E, 3E, and 3.5 core and many of the splat books. I don't buy the corporate line "it's not happening here" when so MANY people are reporting it in the field. And it's annoying to "keep the receipt" on a one for one trade back. Who expects that a major company which has historically put out good product would suddenly put out a third rate one (paper and ink only, not content)? Is an Amazon on line record of the purchase good enough? And what is your company doing to improve the printing process? I think whichever printing company did this to you ripped you off (either that, or you got what you paid for). It's one of the worse quality print jobs I have ever seen. On par with a newspaper with regard to how much it smudges. I know it ticked me off when it happened the first time on my PHB. A section of my feat table is now hard to read. It's so annoying and should be unexceptable to your company. [/QUOTE]
