Printing Palace

Om, can you say fabulous! Mike hooked me up with the utmost professionalism and efficiency.
The kid needed help — and quick! — so when I inquired with Mike first thing in the morning about a print job, he quoted me a $ 5 minimum. No biggie… that’s the price of a stoopid frappuccino so I was all in.
But after sending him the file via email, he told me that resumes have no minimum; I inquired as to why when I picked up my order and he said printing resumes keeps the economy moving forward and he wants to help out. The total cost was a whopping .31 cents — brilliant.
I usually go to Kinko’s for my printing needs* but this place is my new jam. No wait and a company that actually gives back to the community.
*Yes, I bleed Oregon green: I tried to be good about buying ink cartridges over and over (and over!) again because I just couldn’t bear to throw my big hunka plastic printer into the recycling bin. Even though a new printer/​scanner is cheaper than two ink cartridges ($ 19 on
vs. $ 46+shipping from
), often times these «recycled» bin bits wind up in our landfills. But I just couldn’t take it anymore and finally tossed the thing. I’ll make up for it in my next life, I promise.

Don’t really like their customer service. They are super rude on the phone and in person. The job gets done but not always on time.

Forgot my poster at home and needed one fast. I walked in off the street, got a quick walkthrough, and was out the door with a nice poster in about 25 minutes.

Love this guys…
I always feel welcomed when i go there. The owners are awesome and friendly. channel number one is the the best when it comes to detail and helping me with little changes if i ever need to fix something on spot. Printing Palace is my go to if I ever need anything office related since coaprate competition to them (#$@%kos) sucks!!! and it should be shut down for a terrible customer service…
Yo!!! printing palace you guys are 5 star in my book for sure, keep up the good work amigos…

I walked in and asked for a price – it was literally HALF of what I would’ve paid at Staples. It took mere minutes for something that Staples would’ve made me come back later that day or even the next day for. I will definitely be using them for all of my printing from now on.

Decarlo and his team are great to work with! They were super accommodating to all of my crazy printing requests and completed all in a very timely manner. I recommend them all the time!

So this review is sole based on my experience over the phone. As I have a regular sized printer that covers my daily needs I turned to Printing Palace for help with a larger (A2) print.
upon request I was told that they do NOT carry coloured paper, which is fair, they are a print-​, not a print and paper shop (even though selling decent paper should be considered a decent idea in a time when most people don’t need a «pro» for everyday prints).
(SO If you need a letter size print then please support your local library. They do colour prints too and best of all they contribute to the community without over charging).
The guy had never heard of A sizing, seriously, it might be ok for a waiter, car salesman, but a printshop employee, you got to be kidding me. That is just pure laziness.
(Learn about the genius of A sizes:
).
It was however fine for me to bring my own colured paper, but it would still be $ 40. FORTHY dollars — to print a few black lines on a paper that I had to bring myself. «We actually do have a very advanced four colour printer». As if something less would be acceptable in the twenty-​first century.

Stay away from this place, they expect you to call before going there ! Their staff just don’t care about customers. I’ve found no respect in this place. Plus they have wasted my time and they did not know how to print a photoshop 64-​bit file
Very poor service and unprofessional staff.

The new owner Mark is wonderful to work with and gives his customers great customer service! Everyone there is really friendly and helpful, frankly. Their printing is also excellent — very clean, exact and beautiful! Also, Mark has enough experience in the field to make suggestions should you want extra help or advice. This is the place to go for printing in Santa Monica!

Ridiculous. I needed to print 1 page from an attachment on my email. The guys at the counter said it was a $ 5 minimum! How much work does it really take to print something from an email?! Definitely not $ 5 worth! Won’t be coming back here again.

Stay away! Lazy stuff! Quality of the photos is so bad, I have to reprint everything and I can’t use any of them. I called this place a few times to make sure that they can print photos before they closed, they said yes. I put my files in Dropbox and got there at 5:45pm, they said the he can’t download the files I have to wait and I waited. I get a phone call in a few minutes that they won’t be able to do it today. I offered tip and said the I need those photos today and I would pay extra $ 100 to get it done. I get a phone call at 6:34 (the place closes at 6:30). That my photos are ready for pick up, I was waiting in the car. I get there a minute later and the guy said that the cutter was broken and gave me sheets with my photos. They weren’t cut. It was over 200 pieces so over 50 sheets. I spend all night cutting photos myself. The guy got extra $ 100 for stay 4 minutes more and got done what he supposed to get done anyways.

Hands down the best printer in Los Angeles for any and all things motion picture oriented.

This place might be a good print shop, but my first phone inquiry to them was very impatient so I took my business elsewhere. The guy at the place I finally went with, iPrint Reprographics, guided me through my job quickly and was super friendly.

We have used these printers ever since they moved into the neighborhood. We have gotten business cards, flyers and posters made by them. They do great work on a fast turn around and they even suggested doing more of our work at once for a HUGE volume discount.

This place is amazing!
I get stickers/​flyers/​business cards for my business here all the time.
Make sure to bring a high resolution file, BE PATIENT, and clear about what you want.
Prices are the cheapest I’ve seen on the Westside by FAR.

I get all my business forms done here, never had a problem, they’ve been doing my copies for years now.

I had to change printers for my Napa winery business cards due to my printers retirement. When I approached Printing Palace for a quote I was told by Eli that this is a VERY expensive card and he could explore a similar card at a greatly reduced rate. Imagine that! He wanted to save me money. My card was not only printed but also engraved. He had to match not only two colors but also a textured paper. He did so perfectly. The printing and engraving went beautifully. His quote also included a press check. Phifer Pavitt «Date Night» Winery is delighted with their new cards. Yes they were expensive because I insisted on the better quality but they are PERFECT. Thank you Eli.

Mark is the best!
We go to printing palace all the time and everything is always done quickly and efficiently.
I love this Unilocal discount, it really helps out.

Having a full day of errands to run, I wanted to hit the print shop first and the post office afterwards. They quoted me 7 cents for one page of black and white printing on the phone. After I arrived however, they told me they had a $ 5 minimum on print jobs, so I’d end up paying $ 5.48. I may have spent more in gas now finding another place, but blatantly quoting one price and delivering another once I got there made me incredibly angry. Won’t be going back unless I’m in a hurry to spend ridiculous amounts printing.

needed a few simple pictures printed for my boss. a couple of 4×6 and 5×7
They looked to be the size when i picked them up only to return to work and see that its more along the lines of 4×5 & 5×5 … seriously?
now the photos look awful in the frames and my boss is going to be annoyed not only at them, but me for not double checking…
never assume & bring a ruler next time… geesh.
