I highly recommend Canterbury Media Services. I've used them for printing scientific posters via posterpresentations.com since I first discovered them in 2021. Everything has always been fast, easy, and looks perfect! Well worth the cost, considering the high quality and the ease of getting everything printed fast. I usually get their fabric posters since they are easy to travel with. With some places, quality is lost when something is printed on cloth, but everything has always looked fantastic with this place. In my most recent experience, I sent a powerpoint slide of my poster at 7pm (after they were closed for the day) and it was ready for pick-up at 10am the next morning! You really couldn't ask for better. As long as I live in the Bay Area, I will continue to use them! read more

Needed to print a scientific meeting poster and didn't have any reference or thoughts on who to use. Did a bit of research and saw good reviews for posterpresentations.com. Plus I am in the Bay Area so figured shipping might be faster. Yesterday afternoon I sent in a pdf for a laminated 48x96 inch poster. Got a notification shortly after that it was printed, then a fedex notification that it may arrive the following day and sure enough I got the delivery early this afternoon. The lamination and print quality is outstanding. Could not be happier. Will never consider any other printer. This was beautiful and unbelievably quick. Came in a standard poster tube so I am ready for my flight to the conference. Pricing more than fair. read more

I have worked with Canterbury Media several times over the years for major exhibits. Everyone in the office has been great with special thanks to the owner Art Kotoulas. Art has been patient in explaining details about which product would be best for each of my projects. He goes above and beyond in customer service. I am ever so grateful for the service I've received. It is always a pleasure to do business with Canterbury. read more

I had a printing emergency and Canterbury/PosterPresentations.com came to my rescue! I'd planned to just use a big office supply outlet to print a large format poster/banner for a family party, but found out days before the event that they wouldn't be able to process my order in time. So I asked a friend who they used for science poster printing and found Canterbury. Since I'm local, I walked in mid-afternoon and picked up my finished project in less than 24 hours. I got a great deal and ended up with a vinyl banner with grommets as it was cheaper than printing on paper, and my family now has a more durable memento of our event. My media had lots of family photos, and the quality of the print and product was great. As an added bonus, everyone was super friendly, including the happy dog of one of the staff, making the whole process easy and stress-free. read more

Perfect experience with no issues. I printed an academic poster for a Department retreat. I sent my poster at 9am, and got it at 12pm same day. They have a thorough and intuitive online uploading system that lets you specify a format (PowerPoint 2003, 2007, pdf, etc.) to avoid issues. They send a pdf file so that you can check before they print the poster. Printing posters here is cheaper than at Kinko's and other competitors. They have great customer service. I got a phone call after starting my profile because I took a while before sending in my upload. Even if you don't have a car, you can take the bus to pick up your poster. They can also ship the posters. The final printed poster looked great! Truly recommended! read more

When we learned we had to print out posters for our final project (which involved a poster presentation), most of us were okay.. until our GSI told us they would cost on average $100. One peer mentioned Canterbury and I looked into it. The site was super easy to use and for less than $50 (the student deal, must upload PDF, but that's easy to convert to!), my poster was printed, and ready to ship out by 4pm the very next day! Of course, I wanted to pick it up since it'd be faster than dealing with mail services, so I left a note while placing my order then called to confirm. I needed it by 2pm since I'd be leaving Berkeley by 2:30pm. They told me to call at 1:30pm to see if it'd be ready. It was! When I went to go get it, they led me to the back and even unrolled it to show me before rerolling it up. Friendly service. Amazing products. And unbeatable price! read more

This review is far overdue. I run a nonprofit called the Angel Gown Project of California. We had an event and, like always, I was extremely disorganized. I was referred to Canterbury by the graphic artist at my work. After visiting the actual shop, I was told that my image wasn't very good quality and it was not recommended to use on a banner. I was in a bind and the owner, after learning about my nonprofit, decided to fix the image for us for free and was able to get our banner finished by the end of the day. Canterbury went above and beyond for our small organization. As we grow, they will receive all of our business. Thanks again! read more

Very professional service, excellent quality, I would not even consider an amateur shop after seeing how professionals do the job. Very reasonable price as well. Update January 25, 2017 I returned this morning with what seemed like a hopeless task, as I wanted a new 16x20 print to replace one which was old and damaged, and I could not locate the original slide. So all I had was a damaged print. Tony at Berkeley Giclee was able to scan the damaged print. Art next door at Canterbury fixed the damage on the image file from the scan, and I had a lovely new print at a very reasonable cost within an hour. Great service. Highly recommended. read more

Been using their poster printing service for research and I have never had any problems. My posters are typically a little over $50. I've always done a local pickup so I can't comment on the quality and efficiency of delivery. Still, I'm very happy with their easy-to-use website and how my posters always turn out. Even the "cheaper" paper still looks professional. If you're a UC Berkeley grad or postdoc - definitely check them out! I'm at UCSF and there isn't any comparable printing service here, not even close. You guys are lucky! read more

User friendly (no surprises), professional staff, outstanding product, and delivery as promised!

I had a poster printed on fabric, and wow, it looks amazing! The colors are vivid and the lines on my figures are nice and sharp. Very easy online ordering system, fast printing, and professional employees. I will never have my travel bogged down by schlepping an awkward poster tube around again, thanks to PosterPresentations! * bonus: if you pick up your order, there is a super sweet, friendly doggo who works in the greeting customers department. :) read more

I started a job at a company that really needed a lot of help with its marketing, including having a kick a$$ printing company that they could turn to for things like banners, marketing brochures, and other materials. Good for them that I live near Berkeley, know how to use Yelp, and found Canterbury Media Services. For the first trade show I did with this company, I had less than four weeks to get things together. The conference was at Moscone Center and I was pretty much stuck there for the two days preceding the opening of the expo to make sure the booth and other stuff was in order. They made sure that wasn't a problem, got the banner printed for me, and had someone drop it off at Moscone South. From then on, I used them for all of my big printing needs for this company. They never let me down. I'm moving on, but I hope wherever I land, I'll be able to use Canterbury Media again. They're great! read more

I had a fine art print done here after a print by a different company failed (color was very incorrect). Art (Argyris) printed it in no time right on the spot and the price was even less than the other place. I've worked with several fine art printers before, and I know that a good printer knows how the printout looks like before printing it because of the experience and also the fine tuned computer monitor that is matched to the printout color temperature. People in this company know what they are doing. This place was recommended by someone who knows that I am very fussy about colors on fine art prints. read more

I last used Canterbury Media Services a little over 2 years ago. However, since I constantly recommend them to my friends, I thought I should write a review. I'm a graduate student in the sciences at UC Berkeley and Canterbury is basically a lifesaver for printing research posters. They have incredible customer service, very reasonable prices, and can do same day printing. My experience with these guys has been fantastic and I've heard similar experiences from all the people I have recommended them to. Highly recommended. read more

Not only is the quality of the printing excellent but the people here are amazing. We needed images printed for 24 banners and were under a time constraint. Not really being skilled with computer layout skills both Amanda and Sung took the time to coach us. Of course there were some mistakes when it was time to print. Then Art (the owner) spend almost 3 hours with me choosing the background color and correcting some of our mistakes. The job was ready when we requested and beautifully done...also at a very competitive price. This place and the people here are gold. Thank you Canterbury Media. read more

I've printed several large scale poster presentations here and had them ship it to various states on tight deadlines every time. Art and his team were always extremely helpful, quick, and gave us the best finished product from all the other printing vendors we've used. And additionally, they have very reasonable prices. The customer service is top notch... Art was always on top of everything. I never had to worry about the usual tricky color issues I had with other printers. He seemed to keep a memo of our recurring needs. When shipping, I was promptly provided with a tracking number for my shipped posters. And my package always arrived as scheduled. The organizers at one of the national conferences we attend annually recommended them for poster presentations. I've used them since, and have never thought about switching to another printing vendor. I'd gladly recommend them without any reservations. read more

Call me the great procrastinator...I needed slides for graduate school applications and was putting off getting one shoddy slide redone until this week...and I need to have the slides in by next week. My wonderful bf found this place in Berkeley where you upload your picture to their website (from photo-shop) and they make slides for you at a very very reasonable price. I just got it Fed-Ex'd today (one of the shipping options) and the quality is great! I paid sooo much more for images to slides before and this place is fast, reasonably priced, and if you are a procrastinator like me and need them quickly, it can be shipped out super fast. I will definitely be using them in the future, or until art schools stop wanting slides!! ps...Their website says they do other stuff too: "We are a corporate imaging center specializing in trade show graphics, event displays, scientific poster design and printing, and fine art Giclee printing services." wowee read more

Very professional and friendly staff, not to mention their speedy and quality delivery of prints. I have used them consistently to produce the past two sets of company (MedImmune) posters (both 48x72 on easy fabric material). I admit I was doubtful of this easy fabric material, but I was glad that I tried, the material was good and had a very professional and lasting look to it. Also, if you are traveling, it's sure easy to pack. The staff (especially Art) were very friendly and helpful. They usually do next day fedex delivery or if you are really rushed, they will do the print same day and you can usually pick it up in 2 hours. Trust me, I know, because I did it and they kept their words and delivered on time. I was super stoked. If your company does not have an internal printing facility or if they give you the option of doing external print, then definitely consider this place. Great service from a nice bunch of folks. More than 5 stars in my book. read more

Occam's Razor exemplified. Easy processing, phenomenal customer service, top notch quality (perfect colors!)... all in the least amount of steps and time. Their service is intelligent and thoughtful. It is obvious that Canterbury Media Services takes pride in their business, their customers and their deliverables. To sum this up... WORRY-FREE SERVICE. Thank you Canterbury! read more

This is the second time I have used Canterbury, and I couldn't be happier! They do an absolutely gorgeous job printing- they make my digital paintings look better than they actually do, somehow! Very friendly staff, fast service. I don't think I'll go to anybody else for my fine art prints. I'd recommend them to anyone! read more

Used PosterPresentations twice now for large roll-ups for two business conferences. The team is more than accommodating - they respond immediately to emails, work with custom images, and even replaced a roll-up they had printed with small blotches on it - and let us keep the blotched roll-up too! All roll-ups come with sweet carrying cases too. Love this work, and will definitely come back as our 2018 business conferences roll around. read more

Great place, great prices! High quality finished products! I especially want to thank Art for working with me for his help on my project, his ongoing support (and patience) were been invaluable to me. read more

I have worked with Canterbury for many years, and they always produce my projects at top quality and on time. Art, Ben and everybody there are extremely friendly and easy to work with -- they're as invested in getting the job right as I am. It's a rare thing to have a vendor I can depend on as well as I can with them. Highly recommended. read more

If there were 6 stars, I would not hesitate to give them all to Canterbury Media! They saved me and Art, the owner, really went above and beyond the call of duty for me last year. This would never have been the case with a conglomerate franchise printing company. This year, when I needed scientific/marketing posters again, Canterbury was my absolute top choice. Not only is their printing of the highest quality (paper, proprietary color matching, packaging, etc.), Art's attention to detail and 'get it done' attitude was greatly appreciated. You won't believe what happened but it is absolutely true. Last year, I had my scientific/marketing posters printed and delivered on time and all was well for our upcoming conference in Italy. I live in Sonoma County and when I arrived at SFO for my flight on Friday afternoon, to my horror, I realized that I left my posters at home! The conference started on Monday so there was no way to have my family ship the printed posters to me to arrive in time. I certainly didn't have enough time to drive home and get them before my flight. My only hope was to call Canterbury and see if they, by some miracle, could re-print them and deliver them to the airport within 90 minutes before I boarded the plane. They are in Berkeley so this was going to take some perfect timing. Art was fantastic, he got right on it, printed them, arranged a courier service, kept in constant contact with them and me throughout the process. It worked!!! I met the courier curbside at SFO, got the posters packaged neatly for travel, and boarded my flight with 10 minutes to spare. They saved me! Thank you Art and Canterbury staff; I will be forever grateful. read more

we wanted to print a custom thumbprint guestbook for our wedding and we found this fabulous local printer! thanks yelp! they were able to print a huge 22"x28" print on archival paper for a very reasonable cost and quick turnaround time. read more

I will probably change my rating to 5 stars once I start doing more jobs with them. The four is based on my one experience using Caterbury Media.They were fast and very helpful. My client was happy with the final product which was a standing banner. The management was very helpful and accommodating. I would definitely return, actually I just referred another one of my client here... read more

Art and his team are professionals. They care about the job they do & want you to be happy with their work. I emailed one file to them & Art called to say he wanted to fix something in the artwork....he did it, with my permission, and it looked MUCH better. He is a perfectionist but lovely about it. Great to work with such great people. read more

These guys are a unique shop. It's not your typical click and order mystery website. There are real people who email and call you, to make sure your order is right. They have design services and will put a poster together from your powerpoint slides, and make it all look pretty! Their quick turnaround on my posters was amazing. read more

I called with a 3 hour window to pint a banner for an event since another printing service had dropped the ball. They were very helpful on the phone and even finished it early because they knew how crunched we were for time! Highly recommended by both my colleague and myself! read more

Sung at Poster Presentations made the entire ordering and printing process simple, straightforward, and easy! It was great to have another set of eye catch image resolutions that I would have otherwise missed, and can't wait to see my poster! Will definitely use their services again. read more

I used Canterbury to print an academic poster. They are very fast and have fantastic customer service; single day turnaround is guaranteed if you're there by 9am and in my case I went in later than 9am and the poster was printed in under 20 minutes -- they said that this was faster than usual. They aren't open on weekends. read more

Fast, inexpensive printing of a scientific poster and the microscopy images looked better than anyplace else I've gone. Great, friendly service. read more

What could I possibly add to all the other stellar reviews?! Great quality. Even Better Prices (about 1/2 the competitor rates). Super customer service. Excellent attention to quality, even down to how they roll the posters for transportation! Please everyone use this company so they can keep prices low. I was in a bind and not thinking so I had a poster printed at FedEx. The price was around $112 for absolutely basic draft quality. The final product was so disappointing and expensive that I sought another printer for the final version. Enter PosterPresentations.com. I purchased their "professional" quality at about 1/2 the price of FedEx. The coated paper quality was excellent, to the point of looking laminated. I would ABSOLUTELY utilize their services again. If you are a student, the prices cannot be beat. If you are a professional, the quality of their products will make you look good! read more

I had a very specific question about preparing a digital file for an engraving. I called Canterbury Media to see if they could convert my file. I was referred to Mr Kotoulas who took his time to understand what I needed, guided me through the issues involved in such a process and referred me to where I could get the conversion done. I am confident, after such a positive interaction, that Canterbury Media has, not only highly experienced staff, but an uncommon approach to customer service. I will not hesitate to hire or recommend Canterbury Media for any graphic work I need in the future. Excellent service, thank you again! read more

Canterbury media is AMAZING! Terrific work, done right the first time. Great suggestions about artwork, printing styles, and paper media. Thank you for all you great work! read more

This place is really excellent for printing scientific posters. I'm a graduate student and leaving for a conference abroad in a few days so I was looking for a place that could get it done fast and cheap, and this was the perfect place! I sent in my pdf around 3 in the afternoon and it was completed by the next morning! The poster was beautiful and less expensive than the places on campus. read more

The worst customer experience I have ever had. I called the day I placed an order to make sure that the next business day shipping guarantee would be possible for where I lived and i was ASSURED TWICE that it would be possible. Delivery day came and no package. I called to request a refund in light of the conversation i had when i placed the order promising me the shipping that was guaranteed on the website. However, the customer service support that ensued is what pushed me to write this review. I asked to speak to a manager regarding my missed delivery and requested a refund. The 'manager' I spoke to refused and told me it was not his fault. As I was asking questions and trying to find reason this man continued to talk over me, cursed me, and berated me and told me to 'plan better'. He later claimed to be the OWNER of this company which appalled me more!!! policies are policies, and had he been more customer oriented I probably would have settled down and accepted this for what it was. HOWEVER the tone, insulting language, and attitude of this man has lost my business completely. This company should be absolutely ASHAMED of how they speak with upset customers on the phone. read more

We have used their poster production services for several scienctific presentations and their design and production department are very detailed orientated and extremely helpful, especially Sung. Emails are answered very promptly and they are very accommodating under tight schedules. I highly recommend them their services. Thank you CMS! read more

Over the last two years, I've printed four research posters through Canterbury Media Services's Posterpresentations.com website, and picked them up locally. The posters are cost-effective, look great, and get printed fast. I couldn't ask for anything more. I recommend them highly to friends and colleagues. read more

Just had an excellent few days conversing with Poster Presentations and having them print my research poster. I talked to at least 3 different people, all of whom were helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. My poster is beautiful, FAR cheaper than anything Kinkos/Fedex could offer (at least half the price), and I'm happy to support a local business. The print job was a very quick turnaround as well. Couldn't ask for anything more in a printing shop!! read more
