Why I stopped using glossy paper for zines after one bad run at Kinkos
The ink smudged on my fingers while I was stacking them, and the guy at the counter said it would be fine, so now I only use uncoated stock for anything hand-distributed, has anyone else run into that glossy fingerprint problem?

and that reminds me i had a similar thing happen with a batch of stickers once. i used those glossy sticker sheets from the craft store and the ink never fully dried. i left them out for hours and they still got all smeary. the guy at that print shop just said yeah that happens sometimes with certain papers. like okay thanks for the heads up... now. so i feel your pain on the gloss thing. the finger oil really brings it out.

Wait, did the Kinkos guy actually warn you it might happen or just brush it off? Because I'm trying to figure out if this is a paper problem or a counter guy problem.
