A little TOO simple

The Print Mosaic site seemed very simple, no frills. But maybe that should've been a red flag? The mosaic quality certainly had no frills! Definitely not a real photo mosaic, just a grid of photos faded or darkened to create a fake mosaic. I was thoroughly disappointed with my mosaic. Next time, I'll be sure to do a little more research before choosing a photo mosaic company.

Cell photos are too faded!

I found a few different photo mosaic creators online and figured I would start off with one of the more inexpensive options. Print Mosaic had a pretty clean and easy to use website, but I couldn't get a great look at my finished mosaic on the website. I figured, what the heck, its not expensive, so I ordered the print. Well, I certainly got what I paid for. The cell photos are so colorized and small that I can barely see the photos! It looks very unnatural and it actually takes away from the clearness of the full mosaic. I can't believe it. I certainly won't be ordering from Print Mosaic again.

Cheap, but not worth the money!

The price was low - and so was the quality! I chose Print Mosaic because their prices were fair, but now I'm thinking I was still ripped off. My mosaic print arrived just the other day and I am not happy with it. The cell images are so small and over-saturated with color that they're nearly indistinguishable. And every cell has a black border around it! I could see that in the online preview, but I didn't think it would be such a big deal. It really takes away from the photo mosaic as a whole. Overall, I'm very disappointed.
