America's Print Center is the only printing company I use for my business needs. The owner has a…read morecustomer-oriented approach to his business, which means that he is as interested in the quality of my print job as I am, which is difficult to find these days. He is always offering special discounts, and his regular prices are very competitive. He also offers new products when he finds something he believes will be worthwhile to his customers. I like this because it often gives me ideas for my business that I probably wouldn't have considered. His design work shows his commitment to excellence. Plus, he has a great eye and understands the marketplace. The turn-around time always exceeds his commitment. Love working with APC!

I agree with Michelle W. that there perhaps could have been a little more selection. However, the cozy space (with the printing equipment in the same room and the friendly house dog) makes for perhaps a more authentic and personal shopping experience. I ended up with a really cool set of note pages set in a cigar box, a neat brown paper pad, and a card or two. I took quite a bit of time looking through their selection and could have easily done more "damage". The designs are indeed unique and the letterpress quality is excellent.

The shop has been in its current location since 1993 and (from the website - http://www.lunalux.com) is known for creating "charming paper goods using vintage letterpress equipment and modern photopolymer technology." On the edge of Loring Park, Lunalux transports the visitor to a time where presses were the only way to get the word out. The products they create run the gambit from clever to cute to down-right cheeky. You're sure to find a unique gift idea or two. What's more is the specially designated "Stationery Saturdays," where shoppers can go home with customized paper products, or just enjoy coffee and cookies while you watch the staff work.

The team was prompt, professional, and talented at providing options that would meet my needs as well as rationale/context for recommended materials, processes, etc. They were great about providing estimates, answering questions, and working with me throughout the proofing process. I plan to use Allegra for all my future printing needs and would recommend them to anyone about to embark on a project!

My daughter and I had an excellent experience with Modern Press -- A+++…read more THE JOB: My young daughter just started a small business and she needed a small number of custom stickers printed...3000 stickers for her packaging (1000 each of 3 different sizes), 2 colors, die cut to a custom size. She had her digital files ready for a printer. Since she's a minor and a high school student, I helped her get all of this stuff done. THE QUOTE: We quickly found that her printing job was in a customer service black hole. Mostly, the problem was the die cutting. Her job was too big and complex for strip mall places like FedEx Office and for small mom & pop Twin Cities print shops. And her job was too small for big printers like Japs-Olson. We got a quote on-line with Jakprints too. They gave us what I call a "screw you" quote of $1500 because they didn't really want to do her job. What? That would cost $1.50 per container! That's more than she pays for the container itself! THE REFERRAL: A friend referred us to Modern Press. He said that if anyone in the Twin Cities would do it, it's Modern Press. Wow, what a great referral. They did the whole job for just under 700 bucks. And even though this is a small job for them, they treated us like royalty! The owner, Kelley Frain, was informative, helpful, and very nice to us. He spent a lot of time with us, and he gave us a tour of the facility and a brief history of his company. FAQS: Modern Press keeps prices low by, among other things, not having a graphics department. (So you have to provide your design files ready to go.) And they don't have a big sales staff. (The owner is the only sales person.) Kelley is a second generation owner at Modern Press, started in 1980. And Kelley is also the fourth generation printer in his family. Great-grandpa was a printer too. Apparently, printer ink pumps through the veins of the Frain family! MORE FAQS: In addition to doing nearly every type of printing you can think of, they have a mailing service. They seem to do nearly everything, big or small. (Check out their display rack when you visit.) Kelley told us that currently, on the small size, they're working on several wedding invitation jobs with only about 200 pieces each. But they also have a multi-million dollar job for Revlon that will fill several semi-trailer trucks with printed material. Wow! Thanks for a job well done and for treating us so well, Modern Press! -Daddy Maxx Retro

One word sums it up: AWFUL!!!!!!…read more We were lured in by low prices. Then they started charging for every little change, which we later found out, most other companies include in their pricing. After the print job, the pages had so much bleed-through, we couldn't even use them. They didn't care and blamed us for not adjusting the content so the bleed wouldn't matter. Their customer service was awful. The owner, Gerald Frain, only cares about one thing: MONEY. You can find a much better option than Modern Press.

When discussing a project, both Michelle and Jim will bring up things you might not have thought of, such as things that might cause issues or options that might save you money. For example, what were designed as black and white pages in my dual bw/color project were stilled viewed in their printer as color because the computer-operated printer could detect shades of color within the black. Michelle worked a little magic to force those bw pages to print as such. There was a small charge for her time to do this, but it ended up saving me thousands by printing those pages as bw rather than color. Jim and Michelle are very easy to work with and certainly know what they are doing. It is nice to be able to talk directly with the bosses! I have several more projects in mind and I know who I'll be going to when the time comes to print them. The end result is that my projects come out looking very professional. I couldn't be more pleased.
