Re: KirklandPro Glossy PROBLEMS

2005-01-07 by awahlster

Scott none of the paper has had any logo on the back.

the two boxes I bought yesterday were from the same lot number
(printed on the back of the box) One package has so far been fine
(made about 6 prints from it) the other at least the first 20 pieces
showed the problem faint line.

The second box while being on the same pallet (not knowing if it
arrived that way or not) Has a different lot number. This box
purchased as an exchange today has so far been perfect except the top
sheet had some little spots on it I didn't use it all others have been
perfect.

At this time I'm basically happy with the product I'm willing to
accept that there may be some quality issues but Costco has no problem
exchanging it so While it would be a problem if I was selling prints
on some schedual. But as I'm just doing this for fun.
