A few days ago, I just received some of my first prints from DPCprints. I have to say that I am very glad that I took the extra time to order my own prints just on the offhand that I missed something. Turned out that I had some glaring edits that I had missed when working on the piece on my computer. I would like to say that I’m usually pretty thorough in checking my files and going over the piece but often times its hard to see the whole picture at a resolution that will show the defects.
It may be more expensive and take some time to post, approve, print and check, however if someone ordered this piece I would have been so embarrised if either:
A. The customer saw the error and let me know in which case I would want them to get their money back which would not be an easy feat with a 3rd party printer.
B. I saw it hanging on someones wall and I saw the defect, I would have the instant urge to take down the piece and send them a new picture whilst cursing at myself.
Both options are not good. Take the time, take the extra money, be thorough, be good to your customers.
