Talked to a printer yesterday who changed how I see my screen
He told me my neon green logo was never gonna print right no matter how much I tweaked it, and he was dead on. Has anyone else had a pro break down why their favorite screen color just can't exist on paper?

Wait, you mean that neon green that looks like it's burning a hole through my phone screen literally can't exist on paper? Holy crap, that actually makes me feel a lot better about all my failed attempts to print band flyers in high school.

Call down on the drama a bit. Yeah, its a known thing that neon and really bright colors don't print. Screens use light, paper uses ink. Its just physics. Spend twenty minutes on any design subreddit and you'll see this same complaint every week. Your logo probably looked fine on screen, it just doesn't work on paper. Save the existential crisis for something that actually matters.
