Looks like a cool place you have.

wdb · 02-04-2016, 08:29 PM

I'm trying to build a poker game. Only two of us so far. Is four enough or should we wait for more?

EDIT: Go Phils!

Vanne · 02-13-2016, 07:51 AM

just today received mine.. strange, payed and ordered over 1.5 months ago..

also i gotta add, then time we do this, its gotta be A3 size...

edit?, just opened the box with the calendar, and i gotta say i am a little surprised at the lack of quality in the printing of this thing, the proofs were so nice, but the final (well mine at least are all matt printed, and the colours are so washed out, its hard to even tell its a reflection on the doors on page 1 and 2 with the snow and the 2 coupes in the rain...

, most of the photos are printed sub quality (my shitty colour laser printer could do a better job)

maybe i got a dud? i did notice the printing date being the 4th of feb, more than a month after ordering? did something go amiss with mine? Cyclops, mate at no time am I having a go at you mate, i really appreciate the effort you've put in to set this up, and as i said man, your proofs looked bloody awesome!!

maybe my calendar printed in NL by Lulu is just a shoddy copy??

can someone else chime in please at the quality of the printing that you guys received?

cheers

Roadie · 02-13-2016, 09:09 AM

Vanne, That blows. Mine looks fine. Completely satisfied.

Vanne I'm sorry to hear that especially after waiting so long, I know what that can be like. The ones I received printed in Sweden were a bit darker and not as vivid as the photos. I order one for my Dad in the USA and it looks like it was printed in the USA, he mentioned that it looked great but I haven't seen it first hand to compare. I wonder if the ones printed in the USA were better quality?

I think if you are not satisfied you should raise a stink and get your money back or get a free reprint, especially after waiting so long.

Vanne · 02-13-2016, 10:22 AM

Cyclops, I might chuck them an email and ask if everything went alright at the printers, but besides the colours bleeding and the sub par print quality, i still love it mate. Very cool, and once again mate, thanks so much for putting so much time into this project.

cant wait for the next one

wdb · 02-13-2016, 10:41 AM

Sorry to hear Vanne! Push back - the finished product I got is lovely, yours should be too.

rplamb · 02-13-2016, 12:03 PM

Vanne...Sorry to hear....I got mine the first part of January and it's gorgeous!!! I would agree that the next one be larger, if possible.
Cyclops, thanks for all the hard work put into this project.

racerbruce · 02-13-2016, 06:43 PM

Love this! it's at my work desk....Jan looks like my Beloved Z4MR!

1Joel1 · 02-19-2016, 12:58 PM

Mine looks great. I keep it at work as well.

Huz-Z · 02-20-2016, 06:24 PM

I've been crazy busy at work for the past while and I only ordered a couple of copies of the calendar yesterday. So it will be interesting to see if these exhibit the same issues that Vanne encountered (which is a total bummer!).

I'll report back to the waiting masses with an update as soon as mine arrive. Patience young Jedis!!

Vanne · 02-21-2016, 07:50 PM

Thanks Huz, in the meantime i shot a few pics and was asked to send them to Hulu.. still waiting on a response.

i recon its probably my print only thats got knackered. Love the pics in it though

Yours is cropped differently than mine......
Seems to vary quite a bit.
I'll post a pic when I get back next week.

That was one thing I changed after I got the 1st one in hand.

inTgr8r · 03-01-2016, 02:40 PM

Ah... IC.
Maybe I'll grab another one then.

I have an extra and wouldn't mind swapping if you want.

inTgr8r · 03-01-2016, 02:45 PM

Thanks, that's OK.
I need another for the garage anyway.

wdb · 03-02-2016, 01:13 PM

LOL somebody beat me to it. "It's March, yay! I can flip the calendar page."

Mine is also cropped pretty sharply. Perhaps I'll order another as well.

SD ///M4 · 03-02-2016, 07:15 PM

I forgot to post when mine came! Came last week and it looks pretty good!

I don't hang out here enough anymore, gotta make it more often, almost missed this!

Thanks!

Huz-Z · 03-04-2016, 11:51 AM

Got mine today and here's the "picky no pleasing this guy" view. Intgr8r's car (March), the colors do look off a bit. But oddly, January and February look correct.

For April, there is very little contrast in Calichase' coupe - color oversaturated maybe? May looks fine. For my car in June, the colors look like they may be a bit oversaturated too.

But all in all, I am okay with the overall product. Particularly as my car appears in it - I'm stoked re that!!! So - I'm willing to accept a few minor imperfections and will be putting the calendar back on my office wall as soon as I hit the Submit Reply button. can't wait for folks here at work to notice it!

Calichase's photo was really low resolution and I didn't catch it after the voting started. It took a while to get something a bit larger one but it still was large enough and by this time the voting was over. So had to work with was provided, tried to increase the DPI and adjust the photo the best I could.

Anyways speak of the devil, I forgot to flip to April.
