Every print run has been completely washed out and never matched the proof. Their customer service responds with "return for refund at your expense" and that's it. If I could find another resource that offers the heavier 16pt. smooth card stock weight, they would have ALL my business. Anyone care to respond.

The difference between the Spyder3 Express and the Pro is that you can't set your white point and gamma with the Express. I have no idea if that matters too much :D (reviewers said it didn't as I think dimming the brightness might accomplish the same thing)<br /><br />When you're working on art for print I found it helps a ton to have the brightness of your calibrated monitor set to very low. You'll have to experiment with the exact brightness that seems right. I also have it set low when calibrating, since those are the conditions you'll be working in when designing for print. A bright screen is way brighter than white paper and it's part of the reason things look so much darker when you print it. If your monitor is already as dim as it can be, it's closer to real paper. But then you have to remember to raise it again though when saving art for the web, since nobody browses the web on 5% brightness, heh. Sorry if you already know all this stuff but it was just stuff I read up on while researching a calibration system to buy!Jadehttp://www.jadefrolics.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988467543169351722.post-61672962446898595032010-07-23T22:13:17.528-06:002010-07-23T22:13:17.528-06:00Thanks, Jade!

And I definitely sent them an email about the white dots on the card (and even provided a link to this post--ha!).<br /><br />I've had problems with some things printing off darker than I had intended, so I usually make any digital files for printing lighter than what I'd like them to be according to my monitor. Although getting an actual calibrator is a really good idea. Is there one you would recommend?<br /><br />I will let you know about any possible future orders. I am willing to give it another go on the value cards, but for mailers I will be sticking to GP.Anna Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13099120655173552898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988467543169351722.post-27942139152737544202010-07-23T21:55:51.381-06:002010-07-23T21:55:51.381-06:00Really nice reviews!

It's weird that the black in the pig card came out lighter than black, but the other card came out darker! Sounds like they really need to work on quality control. And I'd definitely contact them about the white dots in the cards. If those weren't there in your file then you deserve a refund or reprint. <br /><br />My initial note cards came out dark too, before I bought a monitor calibrator. I often end up making things lighter than I think they should be, and sometimes that helps them come out right in print ;P If you try them again I'd recommend that.<br /><br />I feel bad that I just finished positively reviewing them, and right after that they go and deliver bleh results :I I'm going to adjust my review, too. Overnightprints still seems like a great value, but it seems rather hit-or-miss with the colors.<br /><br />If you order from them again, let me know how they turn out!Jadehttp://www.jadefrolics.comnoreply@blogger.com
