A note on CostCo printing

Written by Eric W on March 10th, 2010

As mentioned in a post the other day, we did some low-quality prints for my daughter. I suppose I should have mentioned: after my previous review putting CostCo down as a poor print shop, I want to re-emphasize: CostCo just doesn’t do it.

What I’m seeing: I really spiked up the colors & vivid settings before printing. Hey, a five-year-old likes colors, right? So I did this, and made everything nice & bright. When getting them back: just as before, the colors were slightly off and (more importantly) everything was much, much *darker*. To the point that you lost details in the shadows.

So, as mentioned the other day: acceptable quality for a five-year-old. Not acceptable to me. Kinda the last straw; gonna avoid them in the future…
