Unfortunately the colour just washes out, I would prefer being contacted before the print goes ahead as I'm sure they could tell if the print doesn't match the image on their computer screen? Then adjust it your end or contact me?. Better than paying and receiving a poor colour reproduction. . . this hasn't been for every poster just the recent ones.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be when the printed colors don’t match your expectations. Based on our checks, the preview shows the painting as very light, which may have affected the final print. To help us review the issue further and provide the best resolution, please reply with a photo of the affected posters so we can see the color differences on the final print and assist you accordingly.

No more guesswork. We take care of the entire design process, from brainstorming ideas to delivering the files to your account.

Yes we do. Our matte lamination helps protect against damage from rain, fingerprints and ripping so you can use them outdoors with confidence and peace of mind.
