This place is fantastic, phoned them and the man was very polite and helpful. Exchanged a few e-mails to finalise things, good clear communications. They even noticed a spelling mistake in our URL (Good catch!) Finally the price, I had to ask the man to reconfirm the price! It was so reasonable I didn't believe it! Much cheaper than anything else I was quoted today and our previous printing company. Overall - I'll definitely be back in the very near future to do business again.

I rather like the idiosyncratic examples of their services in the window: they do those photographs onto canvas offers, will make you cards or posters and they always seem to have a few families getting t-shirts featuring their kids' faces. It's handy for southsiders, but not a draw, being a standard print shop that has good, but not astonishing, prices.

Located…read morein Orbiston Street there is a section for customers where several items are usually on display. There is also an area where you can sit and wait to be served when it's busy. This family run business has a very welcoming feel to it as staff really do go the extra mile to serve. Prices are competitive and there is the choice of going up to the business premises, or having supplies delivered. If they don't have what you need, they will do their utmost to source it for you. They sell a wide range of products and will be upfront about prices and quality. Problems are dealt with in an appropriate manner and in a timely fashion. From time to time there are good deals available.

They stock various computer products and accessories but again, I have found myself having to go elsewhere to buy what I need. Any time I have been contact with the staff I have always been well served and very impressed with their workmanship. If you can get hold of them though, they are very often worth the wait.

The Copy Bureau Graphics is a relatively new place, just off Dumbarton Road in Partick. It offers…read morea whole host of different IT services, including photocopying, digital printing, laminating and graphic design such as letterheads. As well as popping into the shop, orders can be made by post or telephone and the finished product can be posted out, so there's really no reason to go into the shop at all. It also offers Internet access at 90 pence per half hour, which is quite reasonable. I have taken advantage of this service on many occasions, as there are no other places that offer it nearby. The internet is fast and both black & white and colour printouts are availible as well. I just feel sorry for the friendly chap who owns the shop, as the place doesn't seem to attract very many customers. It is always completely dead - quite surprising given the great services on offer at a reasonable price.

I had been to several places prior that were unable to help me and I had just about given up when someone suggested giving a go here. I'm so glad that I did because they were helpful, kind, and knowledgeable- to top it off, I had the opportunity to have a lovely chat with the people at the desk (as well as interacting with a dog called Olive). What every seasoned traveler finds by moving around is that unexpected things happen and it's not so much what happens to us as it is what we do with the collection of experiences. This is one of those times. It could've easily been an unfortunate day and by all means, it's normal to feel human emotions. But what I can say is that things have a way of turning the way they are meant to, as evidenced by having authentic connection with everyone here. When I do come back to visit, I wouldn't mind popping by to say hello. I'm thankful for your help and compassion, and look forward to more philosophical inquiries. Cheers!

If I force myself to look past the widescreen boredom that is this shop then I can appreciate that it is actually filled with very useful services. If you need a special mail box because you don't trust the one at your house then this is a good shop to go to. If like me you need to get lots of things photocopied and have very little money I give this a big Yelp stamp of approval. It also offers quite cheap Internet access so if you are in the area and freak out about needing to update your Twitter or check how much spam your email account has then pop in.

I have some really warm memories of Ink Spot from when i was a kid. It was always the place i…read morelooked forward to coming to when my mum and dad took me shopping to Hamilton. I loved crafty stuff and it sold some pretty cool toys too, like the Anne Geddes Babies i used to collect. It sits apart from the main cluster of shops and the shopping centre, on the way down to the big Asda. This place is an Aladdin's Cave of stationery. Need an HB pencil? Come here. A pink Filofax with kittens on it? Second shelf on the left madam. Biro that transforms into a deckchair? Yup, you'll find one here. But be warned , you'll pay for it! It really isn't cheap, so if you only need the basics i would suggest trying somewhere else first. However if you are a crafty connoisseur, or you're looking for something very specific, Ink Spot is the place for you! (Disclaimer: A transforming deckchair Biro does not yet exist. I made that bit up. So you may get a funny look if you ask for one here.)

So I must confess - I have a bit of a stationery fetish. Nothing quite like the smell of a freshly…read moresharpened pencil or like rows of coloured pencils lined up by shade (yes yes I did and still do crave the entire set of crayola colours!!!) Anyway, this place has so many cool art supplies that even the most non-artistic, non-creative person in the world will be compelled to purchase some funky craft paper or some random modelling clay or engineering grade pencil. School projects and Brownie badge work has been aided with supplies from here and I can never resist popping in when I have a minute and I am nearby. They have, in the past few years, got a range of fancy dress costumes as well - so they are branching out somewhat from merely traditional stationery supplies. I don't know if that is a direction I am really loving, but in this economy, anything that helps local independent businesses is fine by me. This place is NOT cheap though and is its main failing. I would seriously doubt if art students would actually buy their supplies from here, If the prices were a little bit lower and the staff didn't look at you as if you were about to shop lift then I would love it even more. It is definitely a stationers as opposed to a full on specialist art store I reckon. As an art shop for true artists (although clearly I am not, and am just surmising, I would definitely give it a 3. As a place to find cool knick knacks, gifts and pens with a good motion (see told you I was obsessed!) then possibly a 4. On the whole it is a pretty shop with lots of lovely goodies and some luxurious stationery. With slightly lower prices this would be a 4 overall, bit as it stands a solid 3!
