ARCHITECT 16 oz Drink Glass / Sepia

Review of 3-photograph "can" drinking glass with customer-provided photographic images & text. I created designs of coffee mugs with images & text on ZAZZLE web site & purchased . Fundamental quality of mugs (no images & text) is always very good. Quality with images & text applied ranged from very good to unacceptable. Designs distorted (e.g., text not parallel to planes of upper & lower boundaries of mug), colors not quite same as in design, text & images are blurry, & “bleeding” of colors. Images & text on mug very resistant to fading & scratching when mugs washed in automatic dish washer. I tried “can” drinking glass seeking better quality & consistency of printed images & text than w/mugs. Penalty: “can” drinking glass MUST be hand-washed (no automatic dish washer). I purchased custom-design “can” glasses, in 3 separate orders, each with quantity 1, all with very same design. Quality has been very consistent. No distortion of images or text. Resolution (sharpness) of images & text is better & more consistent for “can” glass than for mug. I made font size for “can” glass smaller than for mug, but still easily readable. Fidelity and “bleeding” of colors is the same for “can” glass & mug. Text looks as if each character is casting a colored shadow. These phenomena are only noticeable as seen in bright light, wearing spectacles/contact lenses (as needed), with “can” glass no more than 12 inches away. I am content (but not thrilled) with my “can” glasses.

Review of 3-photograph "can" drinking glass with customer-provided photographic images & text. I created designs of coffee mugs with images & text on web site & purchased from ZAZZLE. Fundamental quality of mugs (w/o images & text) always very good. Quality w/images & text applied ranged from very good to unacceptable. Designs distorted (e.g., text not parallel to planes of upper & lower boundaries of mug), colors not quite same as in design, text & images blurry, & “bleeding” of colors. Images & text on mug are very resistant to fading & scratching when mugs washed in automatic dish washer. Tried “can” drinking glass hoping for better quality of printed images & text, & more consistency, than w/mugs. Penalty: “can” drinking glass MUST be hand-washed (no automatic dish washer). I have purchased three custom-design “can” glasses, in three separate orders, each with quantity 1, all with very same design. Quality has been very consistent. I do not see any distortion of images or text. Resolution (i.e., sharpness) of images & text is better & more consistent for “can” glass than for mug. I made font size for “can” glass smaller than for mug, but still easily readable. Fidelity & “bleeding” of colors same for “can” glass & mug. Text looks as if each character is casting colored shadow. These phenomena only noticeable in bright light, w/spectacles/contact lenses (as needed), “can” glass no more than 12” away. I am content (but not thrilled) with 3 “can” glasses.
