I bought one of my prints, a large canvas. I had previously had a white border on it and thought I'd updated the print file to not have a border. Turns out I'd only updated the file for the postcards and magnets, NOT all the prints and canvases as I'd thought. So my 20x30" canvas FINALLY arrived (after an initial failed attempt that got lost in the mail) with white stripes down the sides, but not the top an bottom! I can understand that it is up to the artist to have the files correct when uploading, but what is QC for if not to say 'yes this is going to work/no it's not" at the time of approval? Anyway, I can't afford the time or expense to ship the canvas all the way back to the states, so I've sucked it up and had to order another canvas to be printed here in Australia (this is for a friend who has bought it from me. He ordered it back in early March, it's only just arrived!). Needless to say I'm pretty peeved off with the DA prints service (not the people that work there, just the whole system) so I've removed all my prints. I can't be bothered going through all of them double checking that the correct files are uploaded. I'd always thought the quality was pretty good, but this was a high cost item, and those white stripes really look crap.
In other news, I'm off to get tattooed again today! Can't wait. I'm both nervous and excited. I can't wait until it's over with. Three sessions for this one. Then I have to plan the next!

All you needed to do is just amend the canvas print source file to how you wish it to print - it would take you less than 60 seconds.
