Environmentally friendly print shop

by artimitateslife

This shop offers lots of printing services from cards to posters to canvas printing with same day service in some cases. They use soy based inks, and a process that is solvent free and uses its own water plant. I never knew you could be that ECO The staff is fun and friendly and knowledgeable. They are happy to tell you all about it. I had "green" business cards done (100% recycled waste content) and even my professor was amazed at the print quality and he's been in the business for over 30 years. She is now a customer too!

• Pros: Soy inks, recycled stocks, advanced technolgy, fast service, freindly staff

Boutique Printing

by creativecore

If you want a rush hackjob on the cheap this is not the place to go. If you want to have high quality environmentally sound choices in your printing then this gay old shop in the Castro is your destination.

The staff are very knowledgeable, nice and will walk you through every option. I have used PS Print - horrible - Rocket Postcards - not good and Modern postcard - expensive, but Clubcard by far has provided the best quality and service.

The shop itself is not what you would expect. This is a funky boutique full of goodies graphic designers covet including one of the best pantone book selections I have seen.

Highly recommended!

• Pros: Environmentally Sound Printing, great customer service

The best print shop I have ever worked with

by wallmartin

You must be a very difficult person to possibly find a reason to complain about this shop. The staff are uber friendly and helpful and will bend over backwards to help you.

My experience is that they are even honest enough to show you how to save money or recommend another shop if the job will be more expensive with them.

The quality of the printing is excellent and they have so many options you will have a hard time deciding.

PLUS this is also one of the most environmentally and socially conscious shops I know of.

Cheers

• Pros: great staff

Awesome print shop

by costamia

here's the skinny

I took my file in to Club Card and they took my file to check it over while I waited in the shop - which by the way is stocked full of cameras and design books and gadgets - oh i digress...

Ok so I took my file in and they checked i out and it was challenged - as In I am design challenged... that is correct a designer I am not.

Sooo i am sad because I put off getting my stuff done to the last minute..but no all is not lost - oh no they say hey girl we can fix this for you why don't you have a look round the store and we will bring you up a new print out.

As i wander I get to see that this place is so hip it hurts, the stuff they design is so beyond me I think they my be stuck up about what i put together - nope! They loved me just the way I are.

OK so I am perusing away and VOILA! PRESSTO <- haha get it? out comes my new and improved work of art. I am happy and even better than that they tell me that yes they can have it ready for me next day just in time for my event!

I am now their biggest fan and have been back 3 times and have been impressed with the great service and the quality.

I love Clubcard.

• Pros: The staff are frienldy and helpful
• Cons: hard to park take muni

Unreliable - shop here!

by amerijudge

By far the most unreliable printer in the whole bay area. Prices may seem good and the staff will treat you nice at the beginning of the order but things go wrong, very wrong with this unreliable printer. DO NOT TRUST THE DEADLINE they give you. If you are promised a 24 hour turn around expect excuses and not your work from this printer shop. Buyers beware.....

• Pros: Nothing, really!
• Cons: bad website, unreliable, does not deliver on promise dates!
