Finally finished a job that took a while because of the printing issues. Well, the update is that 4over responded back to my complaint and offered me a fair resolution to the situation so I was able to reprint. I just broke even on the job which is by far better then losing money at least. The job was a bit challenging. It’s hard to make cool design...
