I just received a jigsaw puzzle print of one of my works and was really pleased with the quality. I wanted something a little different for the art gift I'm giving my parents as a present this year and a puzzle seemed like a fun idea. So I ordered a puzzle of my deviation "Priscilla"...



It's a 252-piece puzzle and the format was a good match. The bleed edge seemed kind of big in the template DA provided but it lined up well and that particular print worked really well as a puzzle since it a very limited color palette. It arrived as a flat, pre-cut sheet, as if the puzzle had already been assembled. The print quality is very good with a glossy finish. The cardboard backing is a little thinner than I'd like but acceptable. There's no box with the picture on the cover but I suppose it would be easy enough to make one if someone wanted that for their own puzzle prints. The cut was very good although there were a few places along the edges where the cut didn't quite reach the side - easily remedied with an X-acto blade.

In this case, I had the puzzle sent to me instead of my parents. When I got it, I disassembled the puzzle and put it into one of those plastic boxes people keep their CCG cards in (about 4"x3"x3") and it was a perfect fit. Since I don't think my parents have seen this particular drawing before, I decided not to include a print of it with the puzzle because I'm evil that way.

To sum up, I like the puzzle prints from DA very much. I'll have to try to include them with my print options more often, just in case.... someone orders a print someday.
