Review #837 2025-009 Parking: located behind shop off Marine Ave. between Sepulveda Blvd. & Oak Ave. to the west of Coast Music. Watch out for the steep entry (especially if your car rides low)! Dial Instant Printers is a local family-owned commercial printing & graphics company that provides traditional & new print technology with superb customer service & high quality work at competitive/budget-friendly prices. I first worked with Roger Martin, Owner, in 2024 for my managers' Lunar New Year card in the Year of the Dragon. My manager switched print shop but also one that they used before: Dial Printers in Manhattan Beach. We corresponded by emails & phone calls to execute 250 cards (family photo in the front with well wishes on the back) & 250 envelopes with the return address printed in the same font as the message. The original artwork was simple, & Roger provided feedback to elevate & execute my manager's vision, adding some oomph with red foil on the dragon & 2024 year on a heavier card stock without increasing the initial quote by much. Fast forward to 2025, I wasn't sure if the LNY family card would happen since I reminded my managers that Lunar New Year moved up a few weeks to late 01/2025. It was decided last weekend that they were going to design a card. What!?! Yikes!! The eldest daughter created this year's LNY card (Year of the Snake) & delivered it Monday night; this year's family pic was more casual than their professional photos in years past. I emailed & followed up with a call on T, 01/21 if it's remotely possible for Dial Printers to execute 250 cards & 250 envelopes (without the return address & no foil work) -- keep it simple & deliver by COB F, 01/24. According to Yelp, their hours are a straight 9-to-5, & we were texting past 9:00 PM. Roger & team were able to complete the job within 24-hours after my text approval. They probably didn't start production until W, 01/22 & I picked up the cards on Th, 01/23, around 11:00 AM. Wowza! There was leftover heavier card stock from another project that he upgraded this order for the same price! The LNY cards looked & felt more regal. Grateful for the early delivery, this gave me plenty of time to prep the cards for mailing the next day. However, it was too good to be true. Why? There was a slight shortage (~6%; 9 recipients without a card, including the extras count) so I was unable to send a handful of them. I immediately notified Roger Friday late afternoon, & asked if he can make-up the shortage by the LNY Eve. He was able to make-up the difference + extras (10 sets) for this printing glitch by the morning before Lunar New Year. I picked up the cards & envelopes shortage, & sent out the balance of the cards by late morning; the stamps will be postmarked before LNY. Yasss! This is important in Chinese custom: don't be late!! Yes, there was a minor hiccup; however, Dial Printers did everything they could to make up for their mistake. I've been cleaning up the file cabinets & found previous LNY cards... I can see the changes in design & card types, added details, & workmanship over the years. Under normal timing (7 - 10 business days lead time), there have been no errors, & Roger's been generous to pad the order with extra cards & envelopes. His prices are competitive & more than fair IMO, so the family returns annually to work with him. Dial Instant Printers has excellent service, delivering a quality product with a quick turnaround time at a very reasonable price. The only downside is there are no weekend hours, but Roger does a thorough job of keeping us posted on the production status & may deliver earlier than the anticipated date... that's what I call excellent customer service! Highly Recommended: For quality, affordable, & quick turnaround print jobs, look no further than Dial Instant Printers to execute your printing needs! read more

See all

Roger is the best - TOP NOTCH Service - I had a project that had a lot of pressure and he guided me in the right direction to execute it with kindness and professionalism. Took care of all the little details and didn't leave any stone unturned for what I needed getting done. Will come back here for anything printed - always. read more

Roger was great! Able to help me out with print, touch up, framing, everything! Got it all done and squeezed it all in for me. Right in the time for the holidays! Thank you dial instant printers! read more

I love this shop, they have really helped my business with their great designs and products. Roger is a delight to work with.

Fast, responsive and totally professional. Roger was such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them for any of your printing projects. read more

Roger is awesome! I called him to ask about some general quote information and he was so helpful with all my questions and made it seem so easy. He gave some great suggestions on printing methods and ways for us to maximize on our budget. I even posed to him that I needed my cards turned around in a couple of days. No problem! I picked up my cards this evening and they looked amazing! I am so happy with the end product and so glad we found Dial Printers right in our backyard. How lucky are we to have Roger within 5 minutes driving distance? I will be going back again and again for my next printing projects. Thanks!!! read more

I contacted Dial Printers about printing wedding invites. Since these were for my sister's wedding it was really important to me to get these right. Roger was really helpful on the phone and I went into the store later that day to run through printing and budget options, paper types and to review the design. He had a lot of helpful comments and tips so I was able to tweak my design to make sure the prints came out as good as possible. The invites turned out really beautiful, they are printed double sided on a really great paper stock. My sister is so pleased with them! This kind of personal service was exactly what I was looking for, Dial Printers really cares about how your prints will turn out. Thanks Roger and Geiner for all you help! read more

Roger is as good as it gets when it comes to working with a printer. What people need to do is to decide why they're there. Dial Printers does both print work and design work, and I hear their design work is excellent also. As a printer you run into issues of files not coming their way with right settings so you learn to adjust and adopt to your customers. They are color designers and experts. They are supposed to know their colors and how they would come out differently on different paper, different press, different methods etc. And that, folks, is what Dial Printers does well. First off, Roger doesn't fool around when it comes to what can and cannot be done. Often times customers (often times designers with their last minute print needs) are in a rush to get things done, whether it's their own procrastination or due to clients from hell, it happens. Roger will tell you flat out that it cannot be done in that period of time. What he will tell you is that he *may* be able to get a rush job done. These are the time you should be grateful that he is in fact able to get the job done. NOT complain about how he didn't do a great job. IF YOU GIVE THEM THE PROPER TIME AS YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO, HE WILL DO A BETTER JOB! Bottom line. Like I said, Roger is a great guy and he will go extra miles to make things work for you. In fact, I'll need some business cards and some posters made for my East Coast job and I'm thinking of contacting him to get things printed and shipped just to give him the business, and also knowing that he would take care of things. read more

Had a wonderful experience working with Roger and the team at Dial. They helped me with a last minute printing job a few months ago, and when I needed another batch printed, they quickly and graciously helped. Very fast, affordable, and incredibly friendly! Would give them 10 stars if I could!! read more

CARE AND PRECISION!! Roger at Dialprinters has been an absolute Godsend, and I don't take those words very lightly. This is my second time using this company. Recently , Roger went above and beyond the call of duty with printing the programs for my brother's funeral. Several people commented that the program was the best program they had ever seen! Thank you Dial Printers! read more

Dial Printers is located on Sepulveda Boulevard in Manhattan Beach, about six businesses South, from the corner of Sepulveda and Marine Avenue. Somewhat challenging to spot from the street, Dial Printers makes up for in service, speed, professional attention to detail and making customer satisfaction one of their top priorities. Simple street parking is conveniently located in front, on Sepulveda Boulevard. However, it should be noted there are restrictions during certain periods of the day. Although, around the block, (almost behind the shop) there is a medium sized parking lot--just a little hike away. Services include: high-quality (resolution) full color custom printing from brochures, newsletters, catalogs, flyers, booklets, envelopes and business cards. Additionally, a variety of sign options, banners, lettering and design services (however, I'm almost positive that I've missed a few services--they offer quite a few). Dial Printing also offers recycled stocks and soy based inks for those who are interested beyond the normal commercial printing options. Pricing is about what one would expect for a custom printer and design service. To be certain, one could try some of the online deals or use one of the (purple, blue, orange and green) big box printers, while receiving competitive pricing schedules. However, the difference and the deal maker is the level of expertise, professionalism, flexibility, creativity, quality control, and options. Simply stated--a design team to work on individual needs that go above and beyond expectations because they have a passion for what they do. They provide options and creative solutions through out the process and it's in these small details that set Dial Printers above the rest. Overview: For this review, services that were used were designing a business card layout for an original logo design. Roger and Teresa created a look, utilizing an existing logo, while making a unique layout that represents our group. Additionally, they kept us on budget and offered many special options at a cost effective and inexpensive route, *without* all the up sell hassles. As one reviewer wrote: "They saved us from ourselves...", without going over budget and just being incredibly patient with changes through out the process--and in my humble opinion, something that only comes with years of expertise and experience. We'll definitely use Dial Instant Printers again for our next job. Establishment - Long time business in the Southbay, 2nd Generation printer. Parking - Street parking in front. Remember to check the parking signs. Staff - Roger Martin and Teresa English / Friendly, comfortable to work with, patient and reliable. Speed - On time and on budget Quality - High quality, with a easy to work with, experienced team read more

Wow! This place is a diamond of a printing spot. I'd never have imagined I'd be so wowed by a printing and copying shop, but this place exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Dial Instant Printers to anyone even remotely near Manhattan Beach. I used to live in MB, and now I live in Santa Monica, but I will always come down here from now on for all my printing needs. Roger is such a nice guy and extremely talented. Thank you so much. read more

I needed some certificates printed by a printer that can do offset printing so, of course, I choose one that had good yelp reviews. Roger was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about what needed to be done to do the job. However, they seem to have had trouble getting my order right. After a number of tries and taking a couple of weeks longer than promised, they finished the job. At this point most yelpers would expect me to say I wouldn't use them again but that would not be the case. Yes, at times I had my suspicions that they may be totally f'd up but not one time during the process did they shy away from their obligation to do a good job. They in fact always apologized and admitted that it was their fault. They tried hard and I know they had to reprint the certificates at least a couple times. They were also so friendly and upbeat that you couldn't help but give them the benefit of the doubt. 3 stars but I bet they could move up to 4 or 5 by next tryl Next time? Yes, when I run out of this batch of certificates I will go to them again. read more

I own a small business and discovered this little gem on Yelp! I had tried other places for business cards, and well, they just turned out bad. In fact, when I would give out a business card I would run the other way. Bad. Now, enter our Angels: Roger and Teresa. They literally saved us from ourselves. They are professional, competent, artistic, and overall lovely people. They helped us design the perfect brand for our company. Their forethought and expertise has really helped us focus the image we want our company to project. I have asked them to print a lot of different things, and they have always come through for me. Business Cards, Letterhead, Envelopes, Folders, Recyclable/Reusable Bags, Lighters, Notepads, T-shirts, and Koozies......yes folks, Koozies. And not the cheap, thick, junky kind. The good kind. Full color. Amazing. They are even designing our company website. Our clients have continued to be impressed with the quality promotional items we give them. We are definitely challenging clients to have. Our business is in Color Correction, so everything Dial Printers prints for us has to be spot on. There is no "faking it" with us. We know that chartreuse isn't just a liquor. The level of customer service they provide is something all company's should aspire to. They are incredibly patient with me and all my "ideas". They help me sort out what will work and what won't. I tell them my budget and they work with it. They truly go beyond what you would expect from a traditional printer, but they also do the traditional thing expertly, as well. I can't say enough about Dial Printers and everyone who works there. We are just so happy to have found them. read more

These guys are great! I'd give them bonus stars if there were any. Sometimes you are lucky enough to come across a local shop that does it completely right. Dial Instant Printers in Manhattan Beach is the best printer in the South Bay, hands down. They do high quality work, spend quality time with you, actually listen to your needs and wants, and truly care about you being satisfied with the work ... all with a good price. I've gone to a lot different print shops over the years, and I'm so glad I finally ran across these guys. They are a family shop, and do the best work and best customer service I've experienced. Business cards, stationary, marketing materials - you name it. They do great graphic design, too. I came to Roger, the co-owner, and he totally took care of me. I brought him a number of designs for my job. After we talked about what I was looking for, he said he'd put my ideas to paper and that he had another design in his head too. When I returned to review the designs, mine looked good but the one he came up with blew mine out of the water. I'd recommend Dial to anyone. Thanks Roger! I'll be coming back for a long time! read more

I need to get business cards done in just a few days for a business trip. All the other printing shops that I talked to were going to charge me a significant extra fee for the rush order. I talked with Roger, and we were able to arrange a much better deal at Dial Printers. Even though he did the work very fast, it was still very professional. He sent me images of the cards to approve before he printed them. DP delivers quality work, they work fast, and they give that extra bit of customer service when I was in a jam. Very happy with this place, highly recommend. read more

Roger here is so wonderful to deal with. We called with a rush order that needed some work in Adobe Illustrator to finalize it. He has the best attitude while he was under pressure getting this done for us in no time. The price is also incredibly fair. Highly recommend! read more

I used this printer for the 2nd time and it did not go well. I needed to have two posters printed for a design project for school. I went in on a Mon. and was told I couldn't have it done until Wed. but if I wanted to wait until Thurs., it would be a better deal. So I opted for Thursday. On Thurs., I hadn't heard from Roger so I called and he said he would check on it and call me back. He never called back. I called again Fri. morning and he said it would be there by 3:00. I was in a hurry when I picked up the posters so I didn't notice until I got home that they were printed on a gloss paper instead of matte like I asked for and one of the posters was cropped off about an inch, cutting off the design. By this time, they were closed, so I sent Roger an email letting him know that not only were the posters a day late, they were on the wrong paper and 1 had the design cropped off. He never replied to the email. So basically, I paid $105 for 2 posters that I had to have reprinted somewhere else. read more

"Roger, you're fucking awesome!!! I've never gone back to edit a review, let alone a 5 star review on yelp but this place earned it. From start to finish, hands down, the best customer service I have ever received. Literally, past the finish line, Roger hand delivers some huge prints "on the house," no charge, because I didn't have a truck. Credibility was there from the our first conversation, definitely a place you can trust!! WOW. And I'm talking about a print shop here...This was my response after explaining my needs for a convention we're preparing for. Called about 15 print shops and no one knew what the hell they're doing except this place. Roger had great suggestions and an unnerving understanding of all things print. You don't need to continue your search if you were lucky enough to give this place a call... Ps thanks on letting know where to park... read more

So... I was a hot mess when I found this place. I had called around a few places in the south bay looking for a deal and for someone to HELP ME. I'm pretty sure I was stuttering, I hadn't had a decent meal in days and my brain was completely fried. Come to think of it, I don't think I even wore clean clothes because laundry was piled up. Not only did I need a sign printed SUPER RUSH but I needed help with the concept, color choice, touch-up, placement.. basically all Roger and his team had to work with were a few photos I supplied and a bunch of mumbo jumbo rambling on my end. EVERYTHING about this place was great; from the initial call--which Geiner picked up, inquiring about prices and such, to the time it took for Roger to call me back, the first conversation with him, the actual meeting, the proofing-- and I'm not even talking about the actual sign yet.. Well, they have the sign ready an HOUR before I asked for it, like seriously the timing was so tight I even had a time on the day I needed the sign by.. AND IT WAS AWESOME!!! I told Roger I trusted him and he pulled through. I'm not going anywhere else for printing needs. Oh yeah, and the price is right. Yeah, there seems to be nothing wrong with this place. read more

I called Roger and asked if I could email him a document that I needed to print, he had it ready in no time and the pricing was great! He was very friendly and even gave me a folder for free. I will definitely return here, and in the mean time I'll recommend this to anyone who needs a printing service:) read more

I have been using dial printers for over 3 years now! they do amazing work.

Although the location is a bit of a drive for me I will never go anywhere else. :) Great quality and always on time. read more

Dial Instant Printers is fantastic! The 5 star rating of Dial Instant Printers couldn't be more accurate. Roger, the owner, was extremely helpful providing me great feedback, wonderful advice and what choices I had based on my budget and time. If you're searching for a place with unbeatable prices, great customer service and amazing quality in printing services / products, do not hesitate to contact Roger at Dial Instant Printers. Without a doubt, I will continue using their printing services in the near future. read more

Excellent customer service like what I received from Roger is truly hard to come across these days. The patience, genuine friendliness, and his keen eye were very helpful and greatly appreciated. I'm glad I decided to come here after not being satisfied from visiting a few other less than enthusiastic businesses. read more

Dial Printers is who we use exclusively for all of our www.shopboxfox.com needs. They are so friendly, thorough and helpful. Not to mention quick when I'm in dire need!! Roger & Geiner are excellent and I'm always more than pleased with quality of the work. Absolutely fantastic! Definitely where everyone needs to go!!! read more

Will be going here for anything I need in the future. Needed a sign for my vacation rental and was surprised when them gave it to me complimentary. Much appreciated read more

Highly recommend!! We worked with Roger for our wedding invitations. So glad we worked with him instead of FedEx or Vistaprint, because he caught color errors in the file we downloaded from Etsy. We almost had completely washed-out invitations. He was also so nice and easy to work with, and was great about letting us see paper samples so we really knew what we were getting ahead of time. Thanks Roger!! read more

Roger is easy to work with and aims to please. My requests are heard and understood; my needs are met and deadlines are respected. Service is professional and friendly and prices are fair. I've only used Dial once but they have earned my business in the future. read more

I spent alot of time looking for a printer that printer that followed ethical pratices (that is, using recycled paper and recycled inks, which are both common no-brainers in the marketplace, so I figured they would be common with printers too right? wrong). Dial was the only printers that even slightly cared about the environment. I was hesistant to go there thought because they were a solid 40-minute drive from my house and I passed by probably 10-20 other printers before I got to Dial. But I said hey, I'll try it just in case. The staff there is the great example of what GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS. They will absolutely go out of their own way to give you the best product you can possibly get, even if, yes, that means they think you may get better results somewhere else. Just hearing that should convince you to go there. I've taking the 40 minute drive to Dial Printers several times now and I'll continue to do it, and I still pass by 10-20 other printers on my way there and I'm yet to regret it. read more

With great service slowly becoming a thing of the past, I had to take the time out to give this place 5 stars. I went in to print some stuff out at the last minute and the guy went above and beyond to help me out. If I'm in Manhattan Beach this is the only place I'm going to get my printing done. This place rocks read more

I heart Roger! And Robert - These guys were soooo helpful, and super patient with me (and my get-it-done-yesterday boss). Roger was extremely helpful, and not only did he talk me through the different options they could offer me, but even gave me printing suggestions that I could do on my own to save money. But nonetheless, the project I needed (and it had to be done at so last minute) came out fabulous, everyone was happy, and it was done in a short amount of time (as promised). Service was excellent, and we will definately be going to Dial Printers for all our future projects. These guys not only have pride in their work, but they also care about their customers, and that is what set them aside from most of the other businesses I had to deal w/ when I was searching for a printing place. THANKS GUYS! =) read more

I brought a rush print job to Roger at Dial Instant Printers this week, and he went above and beyond to finish the project for me on time. He also presented me with several samples of paper to help me find the most professional but least expensive option. The actual product he delivered was top quality. I would recommend this company to anyone who wants personalized service, competitive price and high quality product. read more

Roger and his staff was (are? were? yes.) so incredibly professional and accommodating. They worked with me on an important Christmas present that absolutely had to be done right the first time. I originally intended to conduct my business cross-country (read: my hometown), but Dial beat their price handsomely. To the victor go the spoils. I will gladly return to them with future projects. read more

I called Dial printers in a total rush --I forgot to print an important proposal for a big meeting That was scheduled In one hour. Roger said he could have it ready for me no problem and said I could email it over and they would have it for me to pick-up in 30 Minutes. When I arrived, early, the proposal was already waiting for me and he'd even fixed a minor color issue that he noticed. The proposal looked amazing and I was beyond impressed! But the biggest kicker--I didn't have the $3.50 in cash need and Roger told me I could just pay him next time. It's people and business like this that remind me why we need more companies like this one. My presentation went perfect! Thank you so much for your kindness, you will always have my business and I plan to use you for much bigger jobs in the future. read more

Roger and team are fantastic! I needed business cards printed ASAP and they handled the job quicker than anyone in town. I couldn't make it to his store during regular business hours and he came to the store on a holiday to deliver me my printed cards - WOW! Incredible service. The quality of the cards was exactly what I was looking for. A huge upgrade from Staples! read more

Roger is amazing. I work in a dental office and we have been using him for quite sometime for all of our printing needs.He always goes above and beyond for our office. Our orders are always processed promptly and delivered quickly. We would give him 6 stars if possible! Highly recommended! read more

My wife and I started a business and had online artist who lived in the LA area develop our logo and business cards. All dealings with him were over the phone and email. We ended up getting an amateur design with business cards that weren't printed on the card stock we paid for. Realizing we made a huge mistake and accepting the fact that we just lost some hard earned cash, I turned to Yelp for a local printer. We decided on Dial Printers based on the reviews and the fact that we would deal with the owner directly. I was greeted by Roger and he listened carefully to my experience with the previous printer. I showed him the garbage I had paid for and Roger spent the next hour going over all my options and provided me some great ideas for our logo. After our conversation, it was a no brainier to give him our business. We spent the next few days working out the design and I was involved every step of the way. A week later we had a fantastic logo with an even better business card layout. I picked up the cards today and we are just amazed how well the final product turned out. Do yourself a favor and give this place a chance! read more

I spoke with Roger, he was friendly and accommodating to my many questions and concerns. He was able to produce a beautiful product given the short turnaround time he was given. He was truly a pleasure to work with and will be coming back. Give him a try !!! read more

I moved from Miami a few months ago. I knew that I have to start my business here, and so I need new Business cards. Since I was new in the city, I didn't know anyone who knows a good place for custom print jobs, because I don't like chain print shops, and I was looking for a good one. I started looking everywhere, praying God to show me a good place. I'm an architect in Interiors, very picky, pretty much with everything, specially when involves my work, so the place MUST be GREAT. After days of looking, I ran with Dial Instant Printers, my instincts told me "go for it." Now, I call Roger and Geiner; my business cards' ANGELS, because I know that God put them in my path. They were extremely helpful and SUPER patient with me. I brought my own design, and they guided me thru it, they showed me paper options, they also fixed the resolution of my design to get the best quality possible, and make it look even better... They went the extra mile, always exited about the finish product, and worry for every detail. They were always in a good mood, laughing, telling stories... so cool. They always responds emails and phone calls, they are sooo friendly, and they certainly know what they are doing. I have gotten A LOT of complements with my business cards; it came out GORGEOUS and very sophisticated. The quality is AMAZING! ....I feel super confident by showing it. Definitely I will be going back to them... and I HIGHLY recommend it. read more

I needed some nice paper cut for my wedding menus and programs and I emailed Roger and asked him if he could do this for me. I have gone to Office Depot before and wasn't completely satisfied with the end result, so that's why I thought I would try some place local. Roger, the owner, helped me with everything I needed and I was so happy with how everything turned out! I highly recommend coming here. Even though I was printing my programs at home, he gave me some great advice that he uses in the printing industry. I love the customer service at mom-and-pop types of stores. Thanks Roger!!! You made my wedding day just that much more special!! read more
