For Christmas, I was stumped on what to get for my father who is a VERY difficult man to gift to…read more. and then my sister suggested a large print of one of my photographs (I've had a career in photography in the past and have many many portfolio photos to choose from). With about 5 days to spare, I searched "fine art print shop" in my area and this shop, which is two blocks from where I live, popped up! My partner and I chose a frame we already had, which was large and slightly odd proportions, but after my partner went in to the shop and met Boon, the owner, he assured us that he could make the dimensions work with the photo I'd chosen, plus or minus a bit of the margins. I chose a satin giclee print, because the frame I'd chosen has glass, so glossy wouldn't have looked great and matte might've been too dull? My file size wasn't quite large enough for the size I wanted to expand to, but luckily, Boon had a program to fill in the parts of the image that would've gotten too pixelated and the end result was perfect. It took Boon 3 days to have it ready, which was amazing because it was ready the day before we needed to leave to travel for the holidays! Absolutely amazing customer service, and I love supporting any local small business anytime I can! It cost us just around $100 to have this print made, which I was already anticipating for the size of it, totally acceptable to me! And the shop owner made it clear that duplicates of the print would be cheaper should I ever want more printed, so if you're an artist wanting to print a series of prints, the pricing works in your favor. Awesome shop, will absolutely return for any future printing needs!

Boon at Mach Print is awesome!…read more A one man operation out of a smaller shop, Boon is incredibly knowledgeable about his craft and it shows through his work. He is meticulous with color and paper quality, and because of that I've used him for multiple projects from vinyl to poster printing. Great communication and very reasonably priced. Helped my with my class projects for graphic design, and my teaches complemented the quality of the prints. Def recommend, just make sure to call ahead if you have larger projects, or before you drop by because he might be at lunch, a man's gotta eat right?

Highly recommend! So easy and fast and affordable compared to other options I looked at. Thank you!read more

We had 62 shirts to print, some dark, back and front, some light colored a mix of sizes and sleeve length.

Thanks heaps Mike and Team :)

You should absolutely go to Against the Grain for all your screen printing or heat press needs!…read more Mike was incredibly helpful when I came to him with a pretty specific request for printing some shirts for my running club. He was attentive and made sure he knew exactly what I was looking for. He was very responsive via email, communicated clearly about what I could expect and made sure I was happy with how the project was going. He got the job done in a reasonable and timely manner and made sure we got the best quality work. I couldn't recommend him more, and I'll definitely be going back if I have more printing needs.

The business needed a professional and effective website, something which would be easy to view, navigate and read. Affarei met with myself and the Founder of the company and we agreed upon advertising by use of a website. I gave Affarei all the pictures we had which portrayed the most of what our business is about and they did an amazing job touching up the pictures and placing them in an appealing order. Being apart of a small business, I did not have the most available time to provide Affarei with all the literature and descriptions of the type of work we do, however, they wrote pages beyond pages explaining the type of work and services we offer. They most definitely delivered more than expected throughout planning process, trail/proofing stages, and the final product. They were very easy to work with, displayed the utmost professionalism and kept me updated in order to stay on top of this process. I would recommend Affarei to anyone who is need of a website, superior SEO, and all other marketing materials. These guys were able to get the job done in a fashionable amount of time and have added new customers to our list within the first month of our website being launched.

There were candles, stickers, shirts, and additional lovely gifts that supports local vendors. I fell in love with Ember + Fog candles during a pop up at one of the Embarcadero plazas during this past holiday season. While small batches typically cost more expensive than large corporation offerings, I prefer supporting local small batches for gifts and a little pick-me-up. Plus, the scents are always so unique and it feels gratifying to enjoy something so special made with so much love. Thanks Eleanor for sharing your cheer and grace. Happy shopping!

I experienced a noticeable difference in the level of service here during my last round of shipment…read moredrop-offs on Sunday, August 10. Can-do, helpful attitudes, that was quick and efficient. I needed to purchase some packaging tape to finish off a few packages and the employee gladly took care of it for me without having to buy a new roll, open it up, finish packing it, etc. I was in and out within 5 minutes for my 8 packages which isn't the kind of efficiency I am used to. I leave off one star for now as I'm aware this could have been an isolated incident. Most of the time it's painfully slow and unhelpful service... Hopefully there is positive change being implemented at this location!

Because the email was incorrect, I wasn't notified that packages had arrived - they just sat in the back for several months until the employee who finally corrected my email thought to check. I'd just paid for another 6 months for the box when I discovered the packages (and that my box had been incorrectly blocked off yet again), and the manager did not respond to repeated requests for a refund or acknowledge my request for mail forwarding when I moved my mailbox elsewhere. I will never set foot in this store again for any reason - all told I spent several hundred dollars for some of the worst service I've had from any business.
