Gordon’s Ink

I’ve started using Chris at Gordon’s ink to print all of my large prints for gallery use. I get a quality print every time and find it to be more cost-​effective than printing at home on a hit or miss basis. His location is also great since it’s in the same building as Crestar which I use for all of my framing.

I received quotes from several local printing agencies in Rhode Island during the week I needed printing done for a festival. Chris was up against several other competitors who were all coming in around the same price range. What set Chris apart from the other companies that I had called was his pleasant disposition, his gentle and calm description of the different products he offered and their pricing (always a consideration as a small business owner with grand ideas), and the final product and its timing.
Trust me when I say this, I am learning the business of graphics and design and how that relates to printing. I spoke to several other printing companies who were so impatient with my lack of knowledge when trying to print postcards for promotional materials. I wasn’t sure that I had the right files from my design firm in order to get some last minute cards done.
I received the guidance that I was looking for and was able to make a truly informed decision, a final product that I was really blown away with, and a nice demeanor to boot.
What’s not to like about a company that stands behind their product, the time in which they can get it to you, and a friendly knowledgeable person to help guide you to the right product for your budget?
Well, nothing. Which is why I choose Gordon’s Ink for my business needs.

Wow, Chris was so nice and the final product so perfect! I highly, highly recommend his services to anyone who needs quality photo reproductions.
Unfortunately, the occasion for using Gordon’s Ink was not a happy one: I wanted a large headshot blown up for a memorial service. I also had several other photos enlarged, but on a smaller scale. I needed all of this with a four day turnaround and I ended up needing one of the photo scans for the memorial program and Chris was great!
I have done some of my own enlargements using Picasa and cheap photo labs and it ended up being well worth it to employ someone to get good quality enlargements. It helped that I had high quality originals, but I was thrilled with the end product.
Chris’ prices seemed reasonable given the quality. I think we paid $ 70 for an enlargement from 5×8 to poster size. This included whatever touchups were needed. I didn’t compare them head to head, but I know the studio mark, at a minimum, was edited out which was great.
Go check out this man’s company! If I lived in the area, I would consider getting some of my own travel photos done up for hanging here.
