200 vs 300 again
This is my LAST post ever about this subject. Promise.
So I got another email - you guys would be amazed at how many emails - NONE of them pro 200 I have gotten over this. Today I got one and part of the email she asked about this quote and what I thought about it.
"DSP, the leader in this new industry, has set the new digital scrapbooking
> printing standard at 200 PPI"
WHAT???????? Okay wait. First IS DSP the leader in this industry?? Did you know I had never even heard of them until recently?? Until someone mentioned classes they have there? Interesting to me to hear a site name themselves THE leader. IMO SBB is the leading site in this business. Has always been and will continue to be so. *note* MY opinion.
Secondly, THEY have set the new STANDARD for digital scrapbooking? Okay I have deleted my next few sentences 5 times and will just leave things as they are. I think my bold caps says my thoughts on that well enough. With 95% of all digital scrapping sites out there designing and promoting 300 ONE site is DECIDING to set THE new standard????????????? Okay. Enough... my feelings are clear.

LOL How nice of them to make that decision for you all. We'll see how that pans out for their business. (insert sarcasm here)
In the end, the designers who produce high quality will be the ones who stand out. The point is to be ABOVE the standard if you want to be successful right? Let them set the bar as low as they want. It's just means that your products will be that much higher than the "industry standard".
Is it not true that progress and the future means better quality not less?? Well that's my opinion anyway - I do not want to go backwards so let them try to be what they want but when they can not get too many sales!!!! Me thinks silly ideas will fail.
Total insanity. Well said and I couldn't agree with you more.
Kim, Dahling, you are such a sweet person, I just LOOOVE it when you show your sassy streak! (And the fact that you are absotively, posolutely 100% CORRECT doesn't hurt either!!)
Well written!
I am just so baffled at this site, and how they make such false claims. Naming yourself the industry standard? Kind of bold, are we?
Anyway, THANKS Kim for having such a strong feeling towards this! Bravo!
I have only bought fonts there, nothing else...because on my first visit to their site a year and a half ago I came across that exact ultra-bold statement. It totally turned me off...and I never bought anything there until I recently saw you using some of their fonts, rofl, and needed to have them! But, I will NEVER buy their kits. And I soooo agree...it needs to be quality. I laughed when one of their designers or the owner or someone came to 2Peas and said "bad quality products will print badly at either 200 or 300 ppi", and I thought...dude...that's just the pot calling the kettle black. Seriously.
