If it’s good enough for Stout amirite. Wonder why he doesn’t partner with a place like BNG instead of these cut rate ops.

He did Fantastic Mr. Fox with BNG but nothing since. He was one and done with Hero Complex, too.

I will give it to them the damage is minimal. But the corner is dinged and there is a 1 inch crease across the entire corner. But of course because it's the second round it's my fault and I have to eat it. drymount THAT.

They won't replace the second round? Wtf does that even mean? But then someone mentioned earlier they don't even have replacements(edit:looks like that might be for another print?) so who knows what's real. Either way these guys suck at packing up a print. Some dings smooth out nicely but this one isn't. Mint or bust mafuckas.

I'm starting to think they only sent 1 replacement(was owned 2) just to see if they could get away with it.

In a recent interview Stout said he will not be working with Grey Matter again.

"If it happens twice and it’s for something minimal like that, I’d say we can’t replace that. These prints go through many hands before they get to the customer and minimal flaws can not be replaced a second time."

"Unfortunately these prints go through too many hands before they arrive to the customer so we regret that cannot replace minimal flaws on prints that are sent a second time."
did GMA really have both of these lines in the same e-mail? it's like it was typed out, rephrased, and meant to be deleted... but wasn't. :lol:

too many hands? printer... and Grey Matter. and as far as I can recall, Grey Matter has even less staff than BNG. so anywhere from 1-3 people total touched the print?

Per her fb (not encouraging people to seek her out and drymount with her but it was all out in the open on there), but she's a maga head. GMA is shady as drymount; has incredibly poor/nonexistent communication; and just knowing one of the heads is a trump supporter ties this all together.
