Subject: Re: Red Ovals Greg:
We work for Global Election Systems,
Inc. not for ourselves. Interesting comment but why was it
made
When specifications are made, they have
to apply to all AccuVotes in existence. Backward compatible is
important!
Pantone 032 Warm Red is not a sanctioned
color for thick oval printing, no matter how much success you've had with
it. What is the sanctioning process???
So far, with our testing and analysis,
Pantone 130U is a safer color for printing thick ovals. Has 032
Warm Red ever caused a concern? I have had 27 elections run successfully
using this colour and will provide examples for your testing. Why
should it fail when it has passed with "flying colours"?
We haven't unequivocally sanctioned any
color for thick ovals yet, but because of your need for thicker ovals in
Toronto, (Canada as well as Quebec) Pantone 130U was specified
for the RFP and it will have to do for now. It was never
specified, I made up the ballot samples because of the
situation.
You are a representative of
Global. Who else????
Global representatives cannot be
authorizing the use of colors that not approved by Global Election
Systems. What is the certification process? Let me know and
I will help.
If an
account wants to use Pantone 032 Warm Red or any other color, they are free to
do that, but if Global is aware they are going outside of approved practices,
they must be informed by a letter from Global that they do so at their own
risk.
Help!!!!
