Paid $25 for a custom sticker die cut and the text came back blurry
Ordered a batch of 50 bumper stickers from an online shop for my gardening blog. The design looked crystal clear on screen but when they showed up last Tuesday the font was fuzzy around the edges. Cost me 25 bucks for the setup fee plus shipping and now I have a stack of unusable stickers sitting in my garage. Anyone else run into quality issues with budget die cutters?

Was the design file high enough resolution or did you maybe upload a compressed version by accident?

My buddy runs a small Etsy shop and had the exact same problem with a batch of stickers for her dog brand. She swore she uploaded a 300 DPI PNG but the printer blamed it on "file compression during upload" and wouldn't refund her. Now she always asks for a physical proof before they run the full order, which has saved her a couple times since.
