Minuteman Press

This was truly a fantastic experience. I was in a MAJOR rush and needed same-​day printing. They really blew me away with how professional and speedy they were. The business cards were FANTASTIC. I had assumed since it would be rushed that the cards would be simple and I repeatedly made the point that I was okay with that, but they gave me an identical match to my previous, elaborate cards that I purchased online even without a file. They were incredibly accommodating and friendly. I am so grateful for the work they put into my request. I will absolutely continue to go to them in the future for my printing needs (but this time a few days ahead of time :)). Thank you so much, team!!!

I initially went to this place because of the great reviews. Wow, I would never ever recommend this place to someone.
I had a job where I needed things printed on construction paper. I explained what I needed on the phone, made it as easy as possible by labeling the file names with the colors I needed and quantity, and bringing in my paper organized.
The woman flipped through my work and constantly sighed, really showing me they did NOT want to do my job, but I was told that since they agreed to it, they would honor their commitment. Way to make a sale there, ya know?
After 2 days I called to see the ETA since they said it’d be a day or two. I had roughly 900 sheets of paper. They said it’d take 3 more days to get it done! What the heck… Kinkos, Sir Speedy, and one other gave me an average of 12 – 24 hour turn around and didn’t complain how long it would take. Honestly I just don’t think these guys wanted to do it.
I did it myself at home in 3 hours, including clipping the paper, on my little laser printer at home. They have much larger and nicer printers, how in they heck could it take 3 days?
Glad I learned my lesson.

Hey zinesters, copiers, postermakers. Don’t go here!
I brought several jobs here, and they messed up every single one. I had to bring every single one back.
They would tell me my order would be done at a certain time, then it wouldn’t be. They would tell me to stop by at a certain time and they would be closed. Finally when I went to pick up the copies they had to fix (after the event I needed it for), they tried to charge me. And then they told me that «they’re just not set up for photocopying». But they’re…a copy shop.
Yeah it’s cheap, but you get what you pay for. And they have a cute dog and the man is really nice, but watch out! Never again.

This print shop is now my print shop.
It’s run by the friendly Jim, Kathleen and their little dog named Pike, who keeps you company while you wait for your copies.
I love that it’s NOT self-​service. I like self-​service with some tasks, but not with others. Like, it’s fun to check yourself out at the grocery store when you’re just buying some yogurt, but I hate doing my own printing.
I came in as a walk-​in to print just a couple of things, and I felt lucky to be helped right away because they seemed to be very busy. The phone was ringing constantly! Next time, I’ll email my order ahead of time and pick it up.
I was simply able to hand over my USB drive and let Jim do his thing. He showed me a couple of different options and helped me decide on the weight of paper. Within 10 minutes (and for a reasonable price), I was out the door.
They also have a fingerprinting machine if you need it.

Their hours aren’t as convenient as Kinko’s.
However, I need something laminated and Kinko’s laminate machine was broken.
I Unilocaled copy shops and came up with Minuteman.
They were closed but answered the phone and said to come in anytime before 7pm. Very cool. They did the laminating for me and charged me a lot less than Kinko’s would have,
*** They accept credit cards
***Parking on Hennepin is free and pretty easy
***Right next to Lyle’s

Salvation from the 3^rd circle of hell! Or FedEx/​Kinkos as they call it.
Office Max is OK, but overbooked and pricey.
These guys bent over backwards — twice — to help me in the last 12 hours. I saved money and the prints look amazing.
Kathleen and Jim — you rock!
I will never go anywhere else.

Great service staff and product. I didn’t get to do price comparison, but it was cheap and I don’t think I would trade the service I got for a better price.
Staffed by good friendly people who will do what they can to accommodate special requests.

One of those decent hole-​in-​the wall copy and printing places.
These guys aren’t as nicely decorated as the Kinkos of the world, but they are a lot cheaper and staffed with people who don’t mind working and helping you out.
