Hit 500 prints without a single RGB-to-CMYK surprise, then my monitor lied on print 501
I finally got my calibration locked down after a year of trial and error, but yesterday a client's neon green logo printed as muddy olive and now I'm wondering if anyone else has hit a weird milestone number that instantly made them distrust their whole setup, or is it just me?

Read a thread on a print forum a while back where a guy swore his color shifted every time his shop hit a round number of jobs. Turns out his rip was caching an old profile and only refreshed on a restart, so job 501 was running on settings from months ago. Neon greens are the worst for this too, since they sit way outside CMYK and any small shift in your paper or ink batch sends them straight to olive. Might be worth checking if anything changed on the media side around that same time, like a new box of paper or a fresh ink cart.
