Anyone use CPQ for prints? Have you used the "Color by You" or "Color by CPQ" options?

I've heard this is a good print lab, but I'd like some testimonials from real customers, if anyone is up to it.

Thanks in advance.

I've tried both the "Color by You" and "Color by CPQ" now. The latter works quite well, once you get your monitor calibrated (duh). I calibrated my MacBook Pro monitor with a Spyder3 Elite, and it's basically dialed in with CPQ's printers. The only thing I had to figure out a little closer was my brightness. With my MBP screen set to 1 notch below 1/2 brightness, I get really good results on my prints, both color and brightness.

In case anyone was wondering. Which they apparently are not. I guess I must be bored, huh?

Heh! Sounds like you're the only one using the lab -- I see they're in Tennessee. Are you quite happy with their work?

I've only used them for two clients now, but in general yes, I would say I am pleased.

I know there's at least one other fool using them, though - the guy who recommended them to me ;)
