Somewhere, deep in the bowels of USPCC, there is an R&D department frantically working to decipher the workings of the T Square and Ruler. It’s only a matter of time before they crack it and rectify this troublesome unsolved problem in printing technology.

Figure the breakthroughs in medical science that will come from such an advance - it will be a whole new world…

A few examples:

That is the worst registration issue I’ve ever seen.

For me, the "top" of the deck was fine but as I go deeper into the deck the registration gets pretty bad.

These coming from USPCC, why I am NOT surprised :roll:

It's not helping that everyone keeps quoting the images too and we are reminded of the horrors again and again. I got lucky and my deck seems to be fine.

All what we need is a petition signed by all of us who are victims of custom decks get REKT by their woobly machines to BOYCOTT USPCC - until they get their machines right, no creators shall touch USPCC.

Don't care if people keeps praising them for their great handling - cuz this alone doesn't make a difference if the artwork just badly centered

That's egregious but definitely not the norm. Usually their centering is more or less good. I don't think it's worth creators boycotting the company over it. I would much rather get a slightly offset printed deck (not like the example above) and have it be on uspcc stock rather than like a perfectly centered epcc deck or some no name printer that has horrible stock.

Either way I'd prefer cartamundi because their stock is just as good as uspcc and well centered.
Looking to buy (DM me if selling please!):

I'm just tired of USPCC keep ruining well-designed decks because of their cursed cutting machine... I bet we all are tired as well :(
I though TWI decks printed by USPCC would be the exception, but the decks suffered the plague as well

I’ve seen a lot of printing errors from them, and I might be the exception, but I don’t remember seeing ones crooked like this - I think this is a pretty rare error

When. Will. USPCC. Just. STOP. Doing. THESE. Sh**s?!

I think I will do “Ignorance is Bliss” for the Velvet Tuckbox ones - better keep it sealed or open to find the cards have USPCC’s diseases

Update:
Unfortunately, Gio can’t replace these problems as it is out of his control - THANKS A LOT, USPCC >:(

@hsbc - Your pictures make me wanna touch the red and the green version 🤤. I feel naughty now.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.
