Minuteman Press

These guys are fantastic. Went there as a new business owner needing some PR and flyers. They were knowledgeable, courteous, and priced fairly. They even recommended us to a kick ass local SEO company. I would definitely recommend these guys for their honest and professional work.

I have used Minuteman several times for work projects. They have been lifesavers each time, performing my complicated tasks faster than anyone else has quoted on my tight deadlines, AND their prices have been cheaper. Wayne has been great to work with and is very responsive and thorough. I’m not sure what has rubbed some of the other reviewers the wrong way in terms of service. .. if you need a lot of coddling and hand-​holding then maybe they’re not for you. But if you know what you want and can communicate well, you can expect very professional and straightforward service from this crew. They get the job done and they do good work. I highly recommend.

After having both FedEx and Staples fail to help me, Minuteman Press came through with flying colors. I needed DVD labels and box art printed and they not only did a great job but they worked to help me resize and format the images to best suit the job. I expected to pay twice what they wound up charging me, too! ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend.

Have used Minute man many times for work. They are friendly, kind and always helpful. They are upfront and provide you with the best options for your job and are extremely timely and professional. Wayne especially always goes the extra step to ensure the customer is satisfied. Highly recommend them for any printing needs.

I had a very last minute request and needed it in a hurry. Wayne stayed late after hours and was extremely helpful, even through my changing my mind on a few print decisions… Which would have driven me crazy. They were calm, competent, earth-​friendly and way way cheaper than staples. This was my first time using them for a big job, but have been convinced to use them from now on.

ARTISTS BEWARE!
(This is not a review of their quality of work because I never got that far.)
If you are an artist looking to have prints and/​or copies made of original work, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! Here’s why:
I brought in a small original drawing (made of white colored pencil on black paper) to have copies made. When I told the guy behind the counter that I just wanted wanted to make copies, he took the drawing and began running his fingers over the surface with a puzzled look on his face. Just before that puzzled look turned to pure annoyance, he started RUBBING the drawing with his thumb then asked «uhh…what IS this?» I told him it was «just colored pencil… it doesn’t really come off.»
His reply? «Yeah, I can’t do this. I don’t want it rubbing off on my machine.»
Surprised, I said «Oh! Okay, thanks anyway… have a good day!» and turned to leave. His response of «uh-​huh,» accompanied by an eye roll, was my last experience as I walked out the door.
None of the colored pencil actually came off, but I WAS left with a big, fat thumb-​print smudge on the paper itself, which now needs to be fixed before I take my business to a more professional establishment.
If nothing else, the poor customer service is reason enough to find another printer.

Helpful, honest and friendly with extremely efficient service. My job was complex but Sean figured it out in no time and had my double-​sided posters printed and trimmed in no time. Will definitely be returning!

This place is worst. Or they have the worst employee. I went to FedEx office down the block but their copier was down, so they sent me to this terrible business.
This guy with tattoo on his arms (looks like 40 yr old hipster) practically flipped out on me since he was «swamped».
First he said he is too busy to do my job. Then I asked when how soon he can work on it. He said «tomorrow». I agreed with it and was going to leave my job for tomorrow pick up. Then he changed his mind and he is «too busy to take any jobs that he needs to take „directions“»??? WTF? What kind of job doesn’t need directions from clients. What D-​bags.
I went around the corner to Atlantic Press. This place is hole in the wall but they happily took care of my job with «Direction» in 5 min and charged me $ 6.
Stay away from this place. Places like Minuteman Press need to up their game and know how to do proper customer service.

6 booklets printed, saddle-​stapled and trimmed in less than 20 minutes.
The young man who handled the job was precise, helpful, and generous: for example, he suggested to have the printer do the saddle-​stapling, as I was not aware of this option and am used to having to do it myself.
The final price was very affordable as well. I will definitely return, and I highly recommend this place if you are looking for fast, easy, painless and great quality of a print.

Poor quality printing, and they don’t carry high-​quality paper. Not recommended for anyone who needs headshots or portfolio prints. when I expressed concern at the quality of my prints instead of trying to ameliorate the issue and keep a customer, they were rude seemed put-​out. Bad business.
Probably fine if all you want is simple print-​outs, but then again, you could easily pay more professional and pleasant people to do that somewhere else.

Hi. The quality of printing here it totally fine. That said, like a lot of other people I have to agree that the customer service is bad. Their communication is confusing and they seem to care less about fixing it. If you don’t speak design language, I suggest meeting them in person and not doing things over email, otherwise you will be disappointed with the results.

I have been coming here for 5 years. I love this place. They always get my prints done fast. BETTER THAN ANY KINKO’s FOR SURE!!!

I usually am a very happy reviewer, but as every single person I know who has used this Minuteman location has said the exact same thing, I feel like it needs to be said that I have never received such «blah» customer service from any business ever. It was like the people who worked there had no interest in you, your project, and could care less if they had my (or anyone else’s) business. Honestly, the best word to use is «blah.»
I have used them 4 times now (3 business, 1 personal) and I keep thinking «next time will be different», but I think I’ll look elsewhere.

I love these guys! Super fast turn-​around and no matter whether my job is a teeny tiny print job or a bigger deal, they are totally professional and treat me like a valued customer. I can email all of my stuff and any clarifying questions come pretty fast. I run a small business and they are my back-​up whenever my printer isn’t acting properly. I’ve had full-​color posters, a book manuscript, zines, business cards, and fliers printed here and they are always as expected. WILDLY better than a fed ex office /​kinkos and I prefer working with folks who know what they are talking about. Three cheers for Minuteman!

I had some postcards printed here recently. Their customer service was solid by email & phone, the pricing was quite low compared to other printers I contacted, they allowed me to look at a proof first, AND they did same day printing.
Regarding the supposedly rude service from their male staff, I’d agree they weren’t the warmest/​cuddliest bunch when I went to pick the postcards up, but is that really the end of the world? I’d rather save $ 30 than have the designer smile at me!

These guys are outstanding! They provide excellent service, have a super fast turnaround and patiently deal with all of our details. WE CAN BE ANNOYING. On top of all that, the product looks great, the price is more than fair, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Our business cards look great as they paid attention to every detail. I will always use them and i would recommend them in a second to anyone everyone.

I’m new to Brooklyn, and didn’t have a clue where to go to have new pages for my graphic design portfolio printed up. On my first attempt, I ended up going to a very pleasant mail-​and-​copy place in Brooklyn heights, but it just wasn’t what I needed: the paper was too thin and flimsy, and 11“x17″ was the largest size available, so I couldn’t get the full-​bleed effect of my designs.
Just today, I looked up Minuteman Press. I called Wayne this morning and and told him my situation. He advised me to bring in my portfolio’s old pages and the documents to be printed (they prefer PDF files), and see if we could get a close match. I have an interview tomorrow morning, so I asked if I could get same day service, and Wayne said I should be able to.
When I went in, I spoke with Sean and reiterated my situation. He opened up the files and took a look. He showed me a paper stock which was a closer match, and said he could print on 12×20 and cut to trim, so that the full artwork was represented.
The job was done right away while I stood there and waited (it took all of ten minutes, maximum), and was reasonably priced. I’m only withholding that 5^th star because no one was particularly warm and friendly, but they certainly weren’t rude, either: just efficient and businesslike, and really, that’s exactly what I needed. I’ll definitely be using Minuteman Press for any future full-​service printing needs I have.
Tomorrow I can go into my interview feeling more confident about my portfolio, now that the new pages match the old ones! I’m extremely grateful to Wayne and Sean for saving my neck on this one, in such an expedient and laid-​back manner. I definitely recommend them.

Minuteman press are life savers!!! My wedding invitations arrived late and the calligrapher we had booked said that she was so backed up, it could take her two weeks before she could finish addressing them. In a bind, as the invitations should have gone out a couple of weeks prior, I turned to minuteman press to see what they could do! I went in and spoke to Sean who told me that for $ 1.50+tax/envelope he could use a pretty script that looks just like calligraphy (mind you, my calligrapher was going to charge $ 5/​envelope)– when I came back the next day, after organizing all of my addresses into an excel spread street that I then uploaded using their website (couldn’t get easier!), I came armed with all of my envelopes. I had anticipated being bombarded with a long list of font types/​colors as I had been when working with the calligrapher, however, Sean just asked to see the invitation and told me he would design something to match it and then send me a proof via email which if I didn’t like, he would revise. Less than an hour later, I was emailed a proof that exactly matched the font from the invitation. I replied saying that it looks great and 30 min later, he emailed to tell me my envelopes were done! When I arrived to pick them up, they were beautiful and the color/​font perfectly matched our invitations. I also had worried that the printer would have a difficult time with my envelopes as they had liners, however, there wasn’t a single problem.
I credit Minuteman press to saving me from a bridal meltdown– I loved that I didn’t have to make any decisions at all (at this point in the game of wedding planning– I’m tired of all of the details) Sean asked no questions and just knew what to do making it such a stress free and easy process. I not only saved an additional $ 3.50/envelope, but I also was able to have my invitations mailed later that day with another item crossed off my «to-​do» list! I will definitely be using minuteman press in the future!

**4.5**
The layout of this store has three distinctly visible industrial sized photocopy machines. Being a small and cozy establishment, there is a small nook to print out pdf files, jump-​drive documents, and also internet materials. There is one printer available to print directly from what I see. A high number of brilliant accolades of the wall line the wall indicating that they are legit. Alongside these plaques are samples of take out menus, business cards, and court documents. I have to say that this was not a bad experience.
Calling beforehand, I knew the cost of the copy per page of a black and white copy. Ready with warm greetings and a bright smile, I came in ready to copy by myself, and then noticed that someone does it all for you. As I came in, I saw there men at work in this company. Right after I entered, a gentleman approached me immediately at the counter to help me. After I told him that I called earlier and am ready to photocopy my b & w copies, he let me know that the cost of a copy is actually 15 cents a page. I commend him for being a direct and straightforward, New Yorker in the making, and I could tell he wanted to save time and energy by being aboveboard about the pricing (although it did not match the price over the phone).
Armed with workbooks in hand, I was able to photocopy about 30 pages for about $ 4 and some change. Bear in mind, I was expecting to spend only $ 3 due to the price told to me over the phone, and soon realizing there was a slight discrepancy in the cost of b & w copies printed from single sheets and those that are photocopied out of a book. This disparity made me apprehensive, since I wanted to be sure if I brought enough with me to match this. I am glad that he provided an explanation for the reason for the difference in pricing: for manual copying from the printers, an individual is needed in order to flip each book to have it printed opposed to automatically scanning by detached sheets. That was fair.
I do appreciate the assistance from a worker named Daniel. He was professional, friendly and understanding. In addition, he did an splendid and efficient job of my photocopies, without an errors or missing pages. He offered me paper clips to attach my sheets so they do not end up missing or out of place. I believe he is the reason why I will come back here.
Well, to say the least, the price cost difference bothered me (minus half a star). I just wish I knew the price difference before I came so I would not be caught off-​guard. Yes, that is not a good feeling.
Thankfully and graciously, they accept change in coins! I will be back, and next time, I will bring more money. Lol. I’m so happy that they have an opportunity for you to write a Unilocal review right there and get a $ 1.00 rebate. =) =) =) Thanks Daniel for your help today with my workbook copies! My students will be pleased.

Minuteman rocks. Whatever your printing needs, they can handle them.
The guys here were quick to respond to me via both e-​mail and phone. They quickly quoted me a price that was not just competitive, but blew the online spot I was checking out of the water. They told me my print job would be done by a certain time later that day, and had it ready two hours earlier.
And unlike my friends, family and other print shops I spoke with, they actually seemed happy to speak with me. I called two other print joints that had similar prices, but I went with Minuteman because Wayne didn’t act like I was annoying him by trying to pay him to print things for me.
It’s nice when people are glad to have your business, and then actually exceed your expectations.
