Nicely put Firepower,
Bottom line is that CPR have done some good stuff and are well respected for their products.
Yes. without these guys many pins would not get the restore they beg, but lets not allow that fact to cloud our judgement.. ive never been one to be happy with at least "something".
CPR make good coin from repros and permissions are sought to make these. There are a couple of companies that have a monopoly on reproduction BALLY and WILLIAMS material.. that in itself is not really an issue... i have a monopoly on GOTTLIEB stencils, so i can hardly complain here.
Problem is that FATHOM colours are WRONG - no 2 ways to put it... its a bloody shocker to be quite frank.
Im assuming some sort of quality control... but here it seems to be non existant... the reply from CPR is a piss take and tells the end user to just be happy they got "something" even if it is wrong.
This approach to a monopoly is quite simply astounding.
The reply contradicts itself where it claims to be "close" if CPR handle the films... can we assume that they didnt handle the films on this one and if not, why were they accepted in the first place.
I used to share a flat with a 4 colour planner... it was his job to do magazine front pages etc and to make sure that flesh tones looked just that and not alien like.. he would often point out mistakes on magazines and laugh... myself, i couldnt really tell unless it was bloody obvious.
ANY decent 4 colour planner would never have built up that colouring.
CPR seriously got it wrong here and looking at the reply id say its care factor zero.
Sorry Nino... but your only as good as your products... yep we can all handle the odd cock up - it happens, we are human... but this is more than that and in all honesty CPR's reply displays an attitude befitting of a shonky operator
