Did the translators of the King James Version of the Bible believe that their finished work was perfect and entirely without error?

One of the instructions given to the translators was to follow the Bishops' Bible as closely as possible, otherwise to use Tyndale's, Coverdale's, Matthew's, Whitchurch's or the Geneva Bible. The King James Bible was not so much a new translation, but a revision of existing English translations. Another instruction was to not change commonly accepted names and theological expressions, even if research showed those names to be wrong. They were also to check the work meticulously and seek advice wherever available.
When the translators were not sure of the original meaning of a passage, or when they intentionally departed from that meaning, they often placed their text in italics as a record of this. The 1769 revision made greater and more frequent use of italics.
The translators are unlikely to have thought of the King James Bible as perfect or without error, but they were justly proud of having produced a literary masterpiece that improved upon the versions then in existence.
