Just to see how they would turn out. They came out awful. So blurry! I am so upset.

How am I supposed to print them out then?Chat Icon

I used Kodak and a matte finish and they came out great. I think they are only $.15 a picture too, but if you sign up a new account I know they had an offer for 20 free 4x6 prints and that is how I ordered his and did it under Dh's name.

If you call them and send them back, they will refund you. You only lose out on the shipping back. They have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Was the original blurry or did they just print blurry? Either way you should email them and they will either reprint or refund your money.

What program are you using? If you're using Photoshop go to Image>Image Size and make sure the resolution is set to at least 300 dpi (pixels/inch). Is the whole thing blurry or just the photo parts? If it's just the photo areas, the images you used might not have been a high enough resolution so check the size of the images you used.

I've printed photo cards from winkflash several times and I've always been happy with the quality. They will definitely refund your money though if it was a problem on their end. Have you tried printing it out anywhere else or even from your home printer to see how it looks?

I've printed 5x7 from Sam's club for about the same price also and bought the envelopes from Pick Quick Paper. I actually have found winkflash to print better than Sam's though.

I use winkflash for my pics and all my cards but costco was so cheap and convenient- they were ready next day. And really the quality was fabulous!

I just used cvs.com . they use kodak paper, they came out great!
and you can pick up in store if youre in a rush.
they might still have a deal running for 30 free prints.
(just need your CVS Card #, the store discount card)
