  • More so than usual, we reserve the right to cancel an order after submission if we feel that the quality/fit will be subpar.
  • We don't recommend using this product for mission critical or high volume orders at this time.
  • Use a smart phone to take the photo, but actually do the upload via a normal computer. At this exact moment, the outline editor doesn't support touch devices
