Grant that's a very fair call.
This particular supplier is really good at ignoring my requests and as such this was the second run they did for me as the first lot I rejected because they screwed the art. The one you recieved is the correct art but they've used a contemporary plastisol print method and not water based inks. In there lies the difference in feel. Again expect my apologies, I hate when these things happen, especially so when it's a controllable. Rest assured I have given them the appropriate serving as well as attached your feedback.
