Alternatives to MakePlayingCards / BoardGameMaker?

My most recent attempt to order some homebrew cards from MakePlayingCards was skunked; They wrote back "We cannot print copyrighted images of Heroquest without authorization letter from the owner.Please help to offer copyright authorization letter from the owner to us for production in order to protect intellectual property."

Anyone know of a service that will print these cards? I printed 7 previous sets of Homebrew cards for HeroQuest from MPC without issue before, but apparently now they won't do them.

Artscow and cowcow (possibly the same company) will print anything. The quality is variable and they are expensive without a coupon. Don't have the narrower cards.
Printerstudio ask that you declare you own the rights, but they don't check judging by the copyright decks people sell through them. Good quality.

What portion are they objecting to, is the HeroQuest logo on it?

I eventually gave up and made my own template with similar but different textures, etc. None of the other suppliers made good quality cards.
