Imagink Copy Services & Ink Supplies

It was my first time using InDesign as well as my first time printing a book. The employees were so patient, nice, and helpful, explaining to me the different types of paper/​binding, and also explaining to me the whole trim/​bleed situation. I submitted my request on a Thursday afternoon and received my books on Monday (Friday, the store was closed for 4^th of July holiday.) The quality was great and I’m extremely satisfied. Would completely recommend! I also think it’s the only (or one of the few) place where I can get my books perfectly bound. Most copiers in the Financial District seems to only do saddle-​stitching on-​site.
Love this place.

Really impressed and happy with this place. I’ve now been to them twice for different personal projects and both times they were very accommodating and quick. The most recent was for a program for my grandmother’s memorial service which I was nervous about getting right. They were very helpful and showed me proofs and I asked if they could just look out for any layout mistakes I may have made and they did. The programs turned out great — thanks in large part to their extra help. Their speed, prices and extra help is really what bumped it up to a great review for me.

I am so disappointed with imageink! This is my first time to print a book. They have no patience to explain things right to you. I have two 236-​page books printed. It costs me about 550 dollars! They charge so much but can’t do their job right. They made a big mistake and totally messed up my book! The start page supposes to be on the right side but they printed on the left side. It totally fucked up my whole layout! Not professional at all! Also, the contrast of the images is really dark. Looks so bad. Wouldn’t recommend it!

I have been going to them for book binding and printing for nearly two years. I think it’s time to go elsewhere. Their job have gotten sloppier, and they are not professional in taking care of their mistakes. I won’t recommend them to fellow classmates anymore. Plus they are getting a bit expensive. No value for money at all.

Imagink is unique in my mind because there are multiple pros as well as cons with their services. Usually I when I’m inspired to write a review it’s because my experience was either great or terrible. With Imagink, I really had several different experiences throughout the completion of my project which boiled down to an overall good rating.
My project was an order for wedding invitations, RSVP postcards and envelope printing with a merge list document.
First, Imagink had the BEST prices. I contacted 5 or six printers and Imagink easily had the best deal. They were also the only printer I contacted who could do everything, including the merge list printing, so it made sense to use one printer for everything.
In the beginning I had great response time to my emails. I was able to get quotes, quote updates and questions answered pretty quickly.
However, on the cons side, once I was attempting to bring all the components of my projects together and actually place my order, getting the info needed to move things along was a little spotty, resulting in delays. To be fair, tho, I just kind of wanted to be able to place my order on my timeline and have quick turn-​around, but there were things that *I* needed to do (that I wasn’t unaware of until game-​time) which added to the delay.
I worked with Carmen, who was great. She was professional, knowledgeable and did seem to care about my project. There were times when I would have liked speedier responses from her, but over all she was great and made sure I got my order by the date she’d given me originally, even tho there were a couple hiccups along the way. I appreciated that.
A major con for me was the company policy for proofs as well as other instances where I felt I was being nickle and dimed in a silly way. First, the charge for proofs! This is ridiculous! I placed a $ 200 order and was charged for the proofs of the invitation and postcard… obviously you’re going to want a proof of something you’re printing and sending 100 of — that should be built into the cost of your printing, not and added charge. Also, their envelope selection was limited and I had white or off-​white to choose from. Because the color of my invitation was between, I wanted to to see envelopes with the invite to determine the best color. I was charged for two envelopes and .75 cents each. That is just… come on. And .75 cents? For an envelope? Just… No.
In the end tho, the final result was perfect. They looked exactly as expected and Carmen even adjusted the size of my postcard when I discovered the proof (good thing I had one!) was too small at the post office. And I was NOT charged for that or for her effort to shrink the invitation image a hair to correct a an error made in the designing process.
So, for the cost and product it was absolutely worth it. Communication could be a little better, but customer service is good. I recommend Imagink, but I just urge you to start the process sooner than you think you’ll need to to allow time for unforseen obstacles.

This place is definitely fast and cheaper than other print places in the city. However I was a bit rushed and did not get a chance to proof my image before printing the job… I dont know why I didnt insist, just trusted them too much based on the stellar reviews here.
Needless to say, I did not like the finished product. The reaction from the team was awkward and there was no offer to help fix it or charge me less. I mean, if youre not suggesting that clients come down and proof it or ask if I have been able to print on my own, this probably happens a lot. Had to eat the money and go somewhere else. Boo.

Fast, friendly efficient service. Danny and Shirley have given me great service through the years I’ve been using them.

I found these guys on Unilocal yesterday, and I am really glad I gave them a call. Carmen was super nice, and she got my color prints done in no time at all. I will definitely work with Imagink again.

Color prints are fast and cheaper than Chinatown prices! Would definitely come back again.

I feel like printing with imagink is a hit or miss sometimes. Their staff is really friendly, which is great. But their printing is just so so in my opinion. They seem to only use laser for printing which makes the coloring of images very different compared to inkjet. Or at least thats what my experience has been. The first few times I’ve used imagink, the prints were great and coloring was fine. But the last couple times I’ve been, my prints were really discolored. I know that each printer is different from one another and different from what shows up on the screen. My last print turned neon green for some reason, which was really different from what was expected. So I took my files elsewhere and that place printed perfectly.

This is an exceptional local high quality printing service. We use them for all our printing needs including, business cards, brochure printing, presentation materials, office supplies and toner cartridges. Their expert and professional staff is always on hand to make sure the work you need accomplished is always done correctly and looks strong enough to make a great impact. I highly recommend using this printing company. They do high quality work, very quickly, and are price competitive. They also offer great service which is something that large chain printing and office supply stores do not even understand. I highly recommend this company.

Imageink is the best! Danny and Shirley were very helpful, They processed my order first thing, and 3 hours later I had 1400 copies copied collated and stapled, not to mention 500 copies on colored paper. All for under $ 90. Fast, helpful and affordable. Definitely the go-​to place for copies.

This small local printer gives excellent, FAST service. I needed a special binding project quickly, and they did it as well, more cheaply, and with more personal attention than my regular FedEx location could. Thanks Imagink – I’ll definitely be back!

Shirley at Imagink was our savior — we needed our annual reports printed out in a hurry and at a reasonable price and Imagink delivered on both counts, with high quality reports that were exactly as we requested. Shirley was extremely responsive and communicative, and I couldn’t have asked for more in terms of quality, customer service, or price. I recommend them without reservations. Please save yourself the aggravation and disappointment of going to a big-​name printer and give Imagink a try.

This place is fabulous! I’ve been taking small personal things to them for years now. My kids like the maps/​brochures of the amusement parks that we visit, so I’ve been making them into laminated placemats for years now. After being ripped off by Kinko’s, I stumbled upon this small friendly family like print shop. Danny is always friendly even for a tiny job like mine.
Crunch time came about a month ago, I needed an emergency print job of my sister’s wedding menus & programs and I need them before I boarded a plane for the wedding destination. Danny, is not perturbed by my near hysteria, and says when do I need them? He can have them done as early as tomorrow… I nearly cried with relief. The menus/​programs came out AMAZING. (see pics)
Big box copy places should be boycotted. Small family copy centers RULE!

I do a LOT of business with Imagink and I can say with boastful conviction that they are hands down the best print/​copy service in the FiDi. I have thrown them many last-​minute curve balls and they always rebound gloriously, with the utmost professionalism. The product is of the highest quality and they are customer service all-​stars. For example, when my boss took off with our roll-​away kart and I was left to manually transport a bunch of heavy boxes across the city, Imagink was so kind as to loan me their kart to save the day. Danny, in particular, is a total pro. He’s always smiling and jovial, even at 9:00a on Mondays when the rest of world is poised for a killing spree. I highly, highly recommend these guys.

After having used Speedway for almost 12 years, I finally branched out a few months ago and gave Imagink a try. We had a large printing and binding project and my boss wanted to see if we could get it done for less than an identical project from a few years before.
I provided a sample plus the scope of work to Danny, and he came back with a quote that was HUNDREDS less than what Speedway had charged us previously. Hundreds! And that’s with my NOT having given him the prior amount to work from. When you’re talking a $ 2,000-ish job, hundreds of dollars in either direction is substantial.
Since then, I’ve used Imagink exclusively for a variety of tasks, primarily regular feed jobs, comb and spiral binding, and scanning to PDF. They are always quick and accurate, and Danny is prompt with pick-​up and delivery. Imagink will even take care of shipping for you… eventually I will get a step ahead of myself and actually be prepared enough to utilize this handy service.
I highly recommend Imagink for pricing, efficiency, accuracy, eagerness to please, and plain ol’ friendliness.

Efficiency | Quality | Customer Service | Reliability | Flexibility
These are key elements for a good print shop. For a small starter like Imagink, they have achieved all of the above. I like working with Danny and Shirley. If you compare them to the staff in Kinko’s or Office Max, it’s like heaven and earth. They are super friendly, super efficient and they understand your needs right away. You can even email your files to them and get your prints ready as fast as on the same day or the next. Even though they are working under the gun, they will not show it, and still provide your prints for you asap. I have always printed posters and such with them and will definitely come back!
Kudos for Imagink!

They rock! We print many thousands of pages a year at my company and after going through many other vendors, we’ve been perfectly happy with Imagink to handle all our printing needs. They also do little graphic design projects for free (e.g. developing your brochure) if you print enough with them. They’re great!

It’s like they can defy the laws of time and space. The place where I work prints at least 600 books from these guys a month, and they always manage to get them to us no matter how last minute I order them or how many boxes they have to wheel in on their hand cart. If being efficient (and inexpensive!) weren’t enough, they are the friendliest printers out there, hands down.
