| - Nice printing work, but not professional.
For my business, I hired out a display ad for a national magazine, and had a pdf, professionally sized and marked up with a 1/4" bleed all around, as is common in the industry. I wanted to print a few copies to keep in the office and frame one. I will usually send print jobs like this to Sir Speedy, but thought I'd try FedEx Office this time, as it was more convenient for my small order.
I was uneasy as I uploaded my file. There was nothing about bleeds or crop marks in any of the screens as I submitted my work. I attempted to explain in the "special instructions" window, and the system told me I'd get a phone call. But I guess the clerk thought he could figure it out without a call, and when I picked it up I had a slightly shrunken print job, and was charged for cutting it down to cut off the crop marks. He gave me a beautiful stack of fliers but unfortunately they were 7 15/16 x 10 3/8 instead of the 8 1/2 x 11 that I had ordered.
Bottom line - they do nice work, but the system is dumbed down for the general public. Don't send them your professional print work.
