I just saw TheGentelemanwake/Wyrmwood go through that with their "groundskeeper" deck when Cartamundi decided to move production after they had already started the campaign and announced the printer.PlayTheVillain wrote: ↑Wed Aug 30, 2023 6:20 pmI'll say that the print quality is great, colors are all there and there's no flaws with the print quality.
Just the back end of quality assurance and listening to clients specific needs.
Idk how bad it'll hurt my kickstarter if I make an update stating I'll be going with a different printer due to quality concerns.
WJPC is my secondary but they take 4 days to respond.
Why can't Canada have a PCC? Lol
The mob is fickle as was said in gladiator. BUT
I think your reason is good, and I doubt most people have a positive tie to shuffle ink the way they did to Cartamundi. In the end it didnt make much difference, some people did drop, but again this was a MUCH larger campaign with both a known card maker and a known brand on KS, neither of which you get the benefit of the doubt for.
Its all in how you frame it, I think more people would probably be angrier if you switch post-kickstarter once you have their money. And if you have good reason, first that you have evaluated the cards. And second if you actually have WJPC decks in hand to compare against. "Chinese printer" is likely to have a TERRIBLE reaction to some people, but WJPC is becoming more common in brands people respect (Third way, Stockholm 17). Moving to a known quantity like USPCC or EPCC should be safe. (yes I know EPCC is Taiwanese).
Also remember that changing printers will change your card thickness and therefore the dimensions of the tuck.
