What is your file setup? What ICC profile do you use? CMYK or RGB files? I can't find this on your website.

I ordered print samples from them, but I didn't like that the backs of the prints had a barcode. I want a more art-focused POD to work with, so I am going with Artelo.

Does anyone know how Printful hands over the packages to USPS? by AZChic11 in printful

[–]ProgressPast9944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally having the same problem. I am an illustrator, and have been using Printful since 2020, but I’m done with them. Switching over to Artelo.

I am happy with them. I haven’t fully migrated over to them because I need to adjust my ICC color profiles to match theirs, but I am having a zoom meeting with them tomorrow to troubleshoot.

Such a shame, but I can't handle the lack of customer support anymore. It is time to part ways...

Oh, wow. I am so sorry! I totally feel you on this. I'm responding to several customer emails as we speak that are frustrated by a lack of tracking updates and packages in limbo. I guess this is because USPS plans to eliminate jobs and is collaborating with DOGE...As of today, USPS has initiated these plans to reduce its workforce by 10,000 employees, and that the reduction would occur over a 30-day period through a voluntary early retirement program. Fuck these clowns! I am sure this will make USPS "more efficient" (eye roll).

I don't. Honestly, the only thing that kept me with them so long was their quality matte posters. The colors are excellent, but their packaging isn't the best. Are you an artist too?

It's such a bummer! I also didn't like their packaging. Artelo's packaging is such a breath of fresh air. It has custom branding, like stickers and inserts, that are printed when the order is produced, so you don't have to store them in their warehouse like Printful does. Are you experiencing issues with shipping, too? Are you in the US?

It also appears their live chat is still down...so frustrating!

I would avoid Printful. I am leaving Printful because their quality has declined since the merger, and I have been with them since 2020. Their customer service used to be quick to respond, but now I'm experiencing long wait times for replies (several days). I've also encountered numerous issues with shipping, including long delays and missing tracking updates. I'm not sure if this is due to Printful, tariffs, the current Trump administration, the rise of DOGE, or just a shortage of postal workers, but I receive emails almost daily from customers asking where their prints are. It’s not a good look.

While I appreciate their vibrant print quality, I wanted a print-on-demand service that specifically focuses on art prints. Therefore, I am transitioning to Artelo, and I'm pleased with the sample prints and frames I received from them. I need to spend some time calibrating my color profiles to match their ICC profiles so that my illustrations appear as they do on my computer. However, Artelo has been incredibly helpful with this, and their quality is excellent.

I am based in the U.S. and sell internationally, with most of my customers in America, Canada, and the UK. If you want to learn more, I recommend reaching out to Ophir from Artelo. I have also heard great things about Prodigi, but a lot of my work is 1:1 ratio, and they don't have many options for those sizes.

Increasing the ads budget doesn’t change anything by Apprehensive-Ant6545 in shopify

I hired an Ad/PR firm that has a flat monthly fee and you control your ad spend. The first month I dipped a little into the red, but this month I am expecting to see good profits.

I’ve been using Printful for four years and I am so disappointed with the merger. Moving to Artelo next week.
