Poor Color Q experience
My first "Limited Edition" painting was yet another learning experience (a rather expensive one).
My first mistake was that I didn't make an accurate color copy of the original. When the proof came, it looked o.k. with the exception of lint all over it, which I circled for correction and they fixed. I ordered 400 prints and 5 prints on canvas.
When I received the order, I found the prints to be significantly magenta, thus making grass look muddy and the sky lavender. The prints on canvas were so purple I threw them away.
I found out later from a very experienced wildife artist that ColorQ doesn't even keep the original in the same building as the printing process, so they don't even compare the two. If it turns out well it's purely by luck.
Why do most of my learning experiences have to do with MONEY or neurotic clients?
