Gorgeous printing but OH, the fumes!
Dec 5^th, 2010, 3:24pm

I just recieved an order for 49 cards and the printing is perfect, but the gloss looks more like orange peel, which is fine I guess, but the oder is killing me.....It is strong, and yes, I am somewhat sensitive to chemicals, but this is overpowering me in a short time. Will the fumes fade if I leave them to air? I hate to bother with a return if it will fix itself, the card quality is lovely and it is fun seeing my stuff on cards.........

Please advice........... Tongue

I still loves ya, Grin

Thanks.

I wasn't able to change it before it went out, so that one card will arrive separately and it should be shipped out today

Thanks for the feedback on the smell of the cards. The smell will go away if they are left to air. Our printer posted about the issue which can be read here:

I was elated when I saw the quality. Now I've received my second order and these glossy cards have an odor. It's good to know this will dissipate over time. Maybe I'll put them outside for an afternoon. Thanks for the info, Shaun.
