Solstice Press

Richard Engle is THE best there is in this business. I was referred to him by a local rock-​poster artist by the name of John Seabury. John is brilliant, his work is featured in the «Art Of Modern Rock» Vol I & Vol II. He had used soltice press to ink some of his projects. If its’s good enough for John, it’s good enough for me. I tried them, and they did a perfect job on every card; flawlessly inked. I have use them 3 times, and 6,000 cards later I have never been disappointed. They are «the Pro’s», and yes, nice people too.

This company is fantastic. Gabby there took a bunch of time to go over their products and was super helpful, above and beyond. I am a high maintenance client and a pain sometimes, so I always appreciate someone who can make me happy. Their products are top shelf and their clients are a great example, companies that want a high end product, this is where they go and more companies in Oakland should know about them.

I had a last minute challenge when my printer of 18 years completely, totally, and utterly dropped the ball 2 days before our scheduled delivery.
I called Solstice who had done a few jobs for Girls Inc. several years ago, and was surprised when they said they might be able to do the job. I was even more surprised when they found a vendor who would custom make (!) envelopes so that we could still have a sharp red envelope for our invitation.
Richard and the team at Solstice are so very friendly and provided me with exceptional customer service. My invitation just arrived ahead of deadline and it looks amazing.
I can’t recommend Solstice enough.

The team at Solstice has done great work for me on several occasions — business cards, in particular, but I’ve also seen the work they’ve done on friends’ projects that was WAY more complex and creative. I’ve had no complaints whatsoever about their work, and the crew is always smiling and kind when I come by. (Family-​run businesses … got to love that.) And contrary to the Flea’s comments, I found their rates to be competitive and work to be top-​notch. Go figure?

Nice quality, kind of stinky inks. Very, very expensive. This is a family-​run business that I’ve used a few times for postcards, newsletters, and direct marketing materials. I hadn’t realized that because one of my volunteers works across the street we’d received the special, secret neighborhood price for our first few jobs. I just sent a job over last week, and it cost $ 400 more than the other expensive place we *had* been using. And I was told we received the non-​profit rate.
The team is good about calling when they see odd items that they question. I’m not crazy about their pdf proofs… the bleeds were off from what was actually printed.
Be sure to get detailed estimates and maybe some samples of their work. Very nice people at least!
