Carousel Checks Poor quality product, website images are misleading Internet

I received my first order of checks from Carousel Checks today and I was surprised at the poor quality of the printing. I went back to the website to see the example photo for my type of checks. The photo had bright, vivid colors, while the actual checks are so faded that the pattern is not even visible.

The lettering quality is very poor as well; all the printing looks slightly smeared on every check. Of course, there are no returns on custom printed products, so I'm simply out the money. In two decades of check ordering, I have never seen a check product this terrible.
