Cumberland Graphics

I've used their Shortrunposters and Xeikon prints sites. Very happy with their service, unbeatable pricing and turnaround times. One package arrived damaged and they sent another run out shortly. I once picked up an order when passing through Nashville, albeit after-hours, so they left my package for me at the restaurant across the street. I really appreciated that flexibility and personal touch.

The one downer is there's no way to ensure color consistency from run to run. I understand, given the volume of orders they process (which is their business model- lots of orders at low prices), that they wouldn't remember what to look for in my images when my orders come 3-6 months apart. I've been able to send a sample print to them to know what to correct for and thus gotten the consistency I need, but this method can complicate their otherwise easy to use system and quick turnaround time. Still, you can't beat their pricing and generally good quality for custom poster/print orders.

My above concern may not apply to everybody, but I sell fine art prints and they offer archival quality printing, so my product should have quality consistency throughout their runs. I know a fellow artist who uses more pastel colors with less tonal gradation in his work, and the print differences at Cumberland don't affect his art as much as mine.

Overall, I can do vouch for what they're offering. They are a quality company with limitations.

Strengths: Unbeatable prices, fast turnaround, good cs.

Needs to improve: Prints aren't consistent from run to run (color tones, saturation). Understandable given the nature of their business, but important to know if print consistency is crucial for your business.

We've been using Cumberland Graphics for their printing services to decorate our multiple offices. Overall I would say that have done a great job. The ordering process is easy as their site is easy to navigate and you can even upload your own image. Price is another area Cumberland excels in. They have many different formats and printing capabilities and they all seem to com in lower than their competitors. As mentioned in other reviews, they do have an issue with color consistency. This is only noticeable if you order the same print on different occasions and only really becomes an issue if you're going to put the images side by side. This isn't a big issue for us as whenever we duplicate images it's usually to place in another office. Overall good company to work with. Thumbs up to Cumberland Graphics.
