I recently bought a new copy of the Original Rider Waite as I noticed on the box that it was one of US Games's new China printings. The card stock is wonderfully thick and the print quality/ image reproduction is as good, if not better than my Belgian printed copies. This is in sharp contrast to the former Italian editions which were dreadfully inaccurate in terms of colour reproduction. Print definition was also very poor.
The standard yellow box version, printed in Italy was even worse. The images seemed to be scanned from a previous edition of the deck and had been photoshopped in a very sloppy manner in an attempt to cover over image degredation.
I assume all US Games decks will now be printed in China and I was wondering if anyone has seen a Chinese printed Yellow box RWS as yet? If so, how does it compare? The RWS really deserves better than those dreadful Italian printings.
