Clear Image Printing

I’ve been working with Tony and Greg for over ten years, and they are an awesome printing team! I love the family atmosphere at Clear Image.
Working with designers who have big ideas is Clear Image’s specialty. If I have an idea and don’t know how to get it done, they will experiment until they figure it out. They are expert at special processes, die-​cutting, special papers, special coatings, and hand-​work.
I’ve had several instances where things weren’t working out with my design, and Clear Image saved my ass!
I find the pricing to be right in the middle, where it should be. Printers that are too low-​priced are cheap for a reason. And printers that are too expensive are probably trying to show off with expensive vendor gifts and fancy conference rooms. People who think Clear Image is too expensive have never requested a quote from Lithographix or Anderson.

A warning to designers and creatives. After I reintroduced Clear Image to my client, they did an end-​run and underbid me to work directly with them. I highly advise keeping clear image at an arms length and in their more traditional role of production.
It was probably my mistake for allowing a manufacturer access to the client in the first place, but in my 10+ years of experience, a more established printing businesses would have maintained a good relationship with creative over a fast buck with one client.
Hey, I realize times are tough… so just know that Clear Image’s respect for designer/​client boundaries is questionable. Other than that, they seem to work hard to produce decent results.

I’ve worked with Tony here for over a year, and while these guys are SUPER pricey, they are the Rolls Royce of printers in Los Angeles. They sky’s the limit, they can do anything and everything your little heart desires.
If your budget allows, work with Clear Image and you will not regret it.

these guys really love what they do and it shows. especially when it comes to working with designers. nothing is ever impossible. they really act as your partner in the process, suggesting options that would increase the impact of the work or reduce the price. and they stick to what they know and really do it well. their prices are comparable to others in LA and the work is superior. every detail is attended to. and they are super nice! it is hard to find a reason to go anywhere else.

I had a really bad experience with them and one of my friends did as well.
All i wanted was to print some business cards… a red card with a darker red border at a fairly smaller size then the standard business card.
— First, they did not give me a quote the day i walked in… i had to wait a day to get that. (which i didnt mind since the receptionist was really nice and not to mention drop dead gorgeous)
— When i got the quote it was ridiculously overpriced for 200 business cards (around $ 250) but i said why not and went with it.
— couple days later the cards were ready and when i went to pick them up… half of them were cut wrong… so i paid for a little more than half and had to wait on the rest…
— a day later i get a call saying they cant print the cards… they couldn’t get it cut right unless i choose a different type of print and not digital… which would cost me like another 100 bucks or so…
— i said forget it and stuck with the cards i had… They said they would call me to discuss adjusting the price…
— it’s been damn near 6 or 7 months… lol havent heard from them… and will never do business with them again.
They really do amazing work (when they do it) and the receptionist at the time, DJ, was extremely nice and sooo beautiful it’s hard to get mad haha… id give her 10 stars… but the print quality for my cards, the service, and the price were just horrible so as a company they get 1 star.
I went to charlie chan printing and got my cards done RIGHT and done VERY WELL in half the time at almost half the price.
