Winkflash

[AmyM]

I am not impressed.
The book was cheap. You can't beat 100 pages for $20 but now I see why. I ordered it on Thursday and got it in the mail today. Shipping was super fast obviously, but the book- TERRIBLE! I am so disgusted. The pages all look faded, like something I could print here at home with my HP 3 in 1 with the ink cartridges about to die.
From now on I'll save my money for shutterfly regardless of how expensive they are.

Anyone else have experience with winkflash? It's the worst quality prints/book, etc.. I've ever ordered. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I just got an email back from them talking about how they use industry standard this and that and I may need to calibrate my monitor, blah blah BLAHHHHHHH and if I send the book back they will refund me. Well woopty doopty doo it will cost me almost as much to send it back as the book did.
If the problem was on my end then I would have experienced this with shutterfly or somewhere else by now.
HMPH. No more winkflash for me.
End rant.

oh that stinks. Sorry that happened to you. I hear mixed reviews about Winkflash. I've only used Shutterfly for books so far (thinking of trying Viovio (? not sure of name) ) and have been happy with the SF ones. But I've heard of people having bad experiences with SF.

I am sorry you had bad luck, that stinks.......All that hard work for nothing (

I had fantastic luck with my 2 books & 2 calenders that I got from them for Christmas presents. I will admit the book was not a very high quality but the pics all came out FANTASTIC. I have not used them since then though.....

I was not thrilled with my Shutterfly book. I LOVED the book itself (great quality) but some of my layouts were all pixely, and YES I uploaded them all the same size and ppi !!!!

I also have ordered pages from Scrapbooks Please ( I believe they do hardcover books now too!!) and the quality is great from them but I have had terrible customer service in the past so I don't know if things have changed or not...They do have great sales fairly often.

I have never heard of winkflash before but have used shutterfly for just photo books. I loved my photo books and am working on my first book now for my pages. I am SO excited to see my project come to completion! I def will stick with shutterfly, but if you do give them another shot i would love to hear how the second one turned out. Hugs, sorry you had a rough experience!

I used Winkflash earlier in the year to print a book full of photos (not scrapbook pages) and was very pleased with the results.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with them

I haven't tried winkflash but I have ordered from Viovio and Shutterfly. Here are my comments.
1. I love the price of the Viovio book 112 pages hard bound book for $51.00 with shipping, great book, wonderful quality the best thing ever.
2. I got all my shutterfly books from free coupon codes so I can't complain much but I really didn't find them worth what they would have cost me to print. My pictures are pixellated and grainy and they don't look very high quality.

I do need to say the shutterfly book was just pictures not layouts and the viovio book was layouts.

I would print from viovio again anytime and I am getting ready to order my mil and mom books for mother's day.
