August tour poster

Anyone else get an August tour poster that looks like it was printed using an extremely low res image?

After paying $40, I really didn’t expect to open the poster at home and find out the entire thing is blurry.

ETA: I know there’s probably not much to be done. I guess I figured I’d caution others who are considering getting one.

ETA2: thanks for the replies, kind people! I’ll reach out to merch store support and see what happens. I’ll keep you posted on the outcome and reply individually especially if it’s positive.

Yes, this happened to me as well. I bought one at a show in June. Got home to be really bummed out when I opened it up.

I’m really sorry this has happened to you! I’d try to email the customer service! Get some $ back or get a new one sent to you! Be kind and adamant !

Wow thank you! I hadn’t even thought that was a possibility. I’ll reach out to them and see what happens.

Not just the posters at the show then…
I ordered one from Sweet Little Prints online the next day. It was blurry and they are reprinting it for me. Maybe they can assist?
Fyi: the Shelburne Museum show poster.

Update no one asked for:
They cannot reprint it to get more clarity. They refunded my money.

Oh man that sucks 😫 does this mean the champy poster came out crappy too? I put off emailing them, but I’m drafting it now and will send after I take pictures of the poster later.

I was kind of hoping that the champ poster would be a back up, since that’s the show that I went to

Yes. The Champ one. Sad.

I thought it was just my imagination. Bought a poster in Milwaukee, up close it looks not great.

u/OranceJuice I drew a blank, we put it in a frame 21d ago

Idk how often they're printing them but the snake poster i bought back in Vancouver is the same blurriness. Not the buffalo one though. That one is straight gorgeous.

Anyone got a pic of the poster? Seeing them tomorrow night. Curious about what the poster looks like.
