On time and on budget. Their customer service was very Quico to respond and a real person took the project from start to finish.

DSJ Printing saved me! After a bad printing experience somewhere else, I was stuck last minute having to find a print place that could print envelopes in less than a day. DSJ came through! Not only did they get it done, but the person who helped me, Rod, took his time to educate me and showed me around their facility. I'm thoroughly impressed with DSJ printing capabilities and will now be using them for many of my printing needs. Thank you so much DSJ Printing! You all are amazing and talented at what you do. read more

Customer Service Rapidly Declined! I had been a happy customer for 15 years. I'm a small business owner and although my orders are small, they are important. I had been dealing with the owner and appreciated the friendliness and attention to detail. The last 3 orders were taken by another employee and all 3 had inconsistencies. I rolled with it until the final order. Had an important presentation. The work again was inconsistent and unacceptable. Employee took zero responsibility and had an attitude like it was my fault. I tried 3 times to contact the owner to discuss and perhaps come to an understanding. No response. Maybe they've gotten to big for their britches and don't care about the little guy anymore. Very disappointing! Will not be refer business anymore. Taking mine elsewhere. read more

In the year since having my current job, I've had many needs for a great, timely printer and DSJ always pulls through. The entire staff is amazingly professional and friendly at the same time and they take all my requests in stride. I've had postcards, booklets, all sorts of things done at DSJ, and have known people who have used them for press kits, headshots, etc. Everything has always turned out spotlessly and handed over with a smile. DSJ is what people are talking about when they talk about the need to support amazing local businesses. These people are small but they know their stuff way better than you can find at any big national chain printing palace. I'm ever-loyal to DSJ and want to encourage anyone with any printing needs to give them a shot as well!! read more

BOTTOM LINE: Avoid this place @ all costs. In my 15-years as a Graphic Designer and working with printers all over SoCal this is, hands-down, the worst one ever. I don't like giving bad reviews, especially to people in similar trades, but I simply could not let this experience go without an alert to local consumers. Whether they go under "DSJ Printing" or "West LA Printing", I encourage you to go with their competitors which are just a short drive away. Everyone you will come in contact with here is very nice & courteous, but where the sweet talk begins is also where the quality and competence ends. A Client of mine recently relocated to the area and we began our search for a new printer. A full color Tri-fold Brochure, one of the easiest jobs for any printer of any size, generated over 25 phone calls, several e-mails, unnecessary extra hours of labor, and a final product that showcased poor quality (the colors/inks were HORRIBLE). The management did everything they could to keep me away from their Designers & Tech people to resolve the manner early and prevent the disappointing final product. Because we were already on our way to a trade show in Miami, we had no choice but to take the brochures since there was no time to correct the mistake. Edwin, the owner, sounds like a nice guy at first. However, he loves to hear himself talk and has the habit of telling you, "I am your new best friend" (a catchphrase that sounded so insincere). After attempting to reach a gentlemen's agreement with him to get $40 refunded for a ridiculous fee they added to cover "designer's time" (considering they used the print-ready file I originally sent them and there was no need for their Designer's to do anything) I learned then that his talk & promises are not reflected in the quality of work that he ultimately delivers. According to him, our order was not generating enough revenue for him to consider returning the $40 (so much for my "new best friend"). Freelancers, Independents, Business Owners, and Studios are all encouraged to not bring their business here. read more

I heard of this place through a friend who is a graphic designer. She told me they do good work, but they tend to cater to larger orders so don't expect the greatest customer service. Boy was she spot on. I had a smaller order and they seemed so nonchalant about it. I was told it would take 2 - 4 business days so that's what I expected. They did make a change for me which I did appreciate, so I figured the time started then. 8 days later I still didn't have my finished product so I emailed them. They said it would be done tomorrow so I went in. I go in, pay and realize they did my order backwards. I let him know I needed them back in a timely fashion and they said possibly 2 days (didn't show much care). It took another 4 days and I had my business partner call them. Once she asked for the manager, the guy started to apologize. He refused to offer me a discount, but ended up giving us some money back. The work was good, but the customer service wasn't good. Printing isn't rare in this side of town so if you don't treat the customer well, they'll find a better price and better service. I would have a hard time recommending this place because of my experience. read more

My Fiance and I needed to print our wedding invitations found DSJ on Yelp. We bought our paper and envelopes from Kelly Paper Store in Santa Monica (buying paper in bulk is so much more affordable and the way to go) This place is great...pricing is extremely fair, staff was more than accommodating, they got the job done fast, and we were really happy with the results. Would definitely come back for all of our printing needs. THANKS!! our guests love our invitations! :) read more

After searching for a local printer I found DSJ Printing in Santa Monica. i read the reviews here on Yelp and decided to drive over and see if they could help me with my new business cards and a small print run. Michael, Rodrigo and Jerry were amazingly helpful. I am a complete novice on printing business cards, all I had was a designed logo and a powerpoint of what I wanted to do. They helped me load my fonts, format the document, pick the paper, make the modifications that I wanted within my budget. Michael and Rodrigo called me after the first print run and said we needed to make adjustments. I came in and we worked together to fix the issues and they ran two versions to see which one I liked better. This teams is extremely knowledgable and accommodating of even the smallest print job. I only wanted 50 cards and left with 100 for the same price, even after all the adjustments. I can't recommend them enough. Thanks Teams DSJ!!! read more

I take a very long time to review, and just drove by here the other day and remembered how awesome they were. Larry helped me with my wedding invitations a while back. He was able to work with my constantly changing demands and add on additional jobs that came up last minute within an insane time range. They're great! Larry is the best! read more

I would like to thank the entire crew at DSJ for continually providing outstanding work and excellent service over the years. They have impressed both me, and clients again and again with their high level of dedication to print jobs, as well as the top quality printed products that they deliver time and time again. Way too many times I've called needed something printed on a VERY tight deadline, and Jeff's answer is always "No problem!" When I was asked to find a local printer who was able to provide us with sustainable printed products, while still maintaining competitive prices, I was skeptical. DSJ Printing has done just that, and they have continued to research and provide new options for keeping our jobs green, making my job easy. I've had DSJ print custom 4-color jobs, large-format poster printings, small color copy jobs and last-minute proposals. The quality of the printed product and friendly approach of the DSJ staff is sincerely appreciated. I'm always happy for an excuse to stop in and chat with the guys that work there. Really! read more

I was kindly referred to try DSJ for my recent custom printing needs. I called and spoke to Jerry, who was/is very helpful over the phone, and invited me to stop by the shop to proceed with my project. While there, Jerry was friendly, creative and efficient enough to design, modify and finalize my artwork all in one sitting. During my visit, I couldn't help but notice some of the other incredible projects DSJ handles. Based on my experience, I'm confident that DSJ is a reliable go-to, one-top-shop for personal and business needs, large or small. I'll continue to refer them, and I look forward to our next project together. read more

DSJ Printing is awesome. They make high quality prints and their customer service team is as good as it gets. They're fast, efficient and communicate with their clients well. Also, the guys working in the shop are incredibly kind and helpful. Last week, when I went to pick-up a print my car battery died. One of the staff, I think his name was Rene, was nice-enough to pull his truck around, stop traffic and jump my car with his cables. Their printing services are great but beyond that, they are just genuinely nice people and I always prefer to do business with good, honest and kind people. Thanks DSJ! Great work! read more

I needed to get some calendars printed for a non-profit organization - they're to be used for fundraising purposes so every penny mattered. I contacted 8 different places - both online calendar specialists, discount printers, and other printers recommended by friends. The difference in the quotes was more than $1000 which was shocking for such a small run. One of the lowest was the quote from Jeff Sr. at DSJ. Since I liked the fact that DSJ is a family business and local, I went back to him with my lowest quote. He worked with us to get the price within our budget so we were happy to give him our business. I picked up the order yesterday. It's perfect and was done faster than any of the more expensive places could promise. During this process I dealt with Jeff Sr., Jeff Jr., and Jerry who does the graphics stuff. All of them were great. We'll take all of our printing there from now on. read more

These guys are the best! I went for them to print some Save the Dates I designed. They gave me some advice regarding what paper to use and adjusting the colors on my file. They were so incredibly kind and patient! The Save the Dates turned out great and so far everyone has loved them! read more

A really excellent printer with personalized service. I came by needing some business cards done. They were helpful and turned out even better than I had envisioned. In my case, I did the design myself using Canva. I know they have a respected design staff and a lot of high-profile clients. Some neat old fashioned printers in their window too. read more

DSJ Printing - Business cards turned out great and a day early too. - Printing Services Near Me - Santa Monica, California

If I could give less stars I would, the worst customer service ever. I came in to get looked books made for a presentation. When I came to pick them up the day before the presentation, all of the jewelry samples were blue. Obviously I was unable to properly distribute my look books the next day. I came back after the presentation to try to get the problem fixed, I brought them a sample of my original look book that had been printed somewhere else and asked them to match all the colors. He told me that some of the coloring may change when they took out the blue color, but that they would match it. I just came to pick up my order and the COVER of my look book, everybody is pink- like bright pink! Wouldn't you notice that the people on the front page are bright pink and maybe not print out 30 copies of it? And instead of taking responsibility, the guy just says well I told you some of the color might change. Unbelievable that these guys can stay in business without any attention to detail and with such a severe lack of concern for customer service. read more

I was pretty excited about these guys given the reviews. Unfortunately I never had a chance to experience their print quality. I submitted an online quote request, got an automated reply that "A customer service representative will process your request and contact you as soon as possible.", and that was it. It's been a month and nothing. read more

I'm sure this isn't the cheapest place but they did a great job with my printing and Rod over there even helped fix one of my mistakes for free. The staff is super nice and professional...easy to work with. read more

Great people who do great work. I had a personal project that I wanted printed but I knew nothing about the print world. Jerry with DSJ talked me through the proper way to set up my document before I even picked them for the job. He is a wizard on all things Adobe. He was extremely helpful, patient, and even recommended some ways to make it better. After the job was submitted and printed I had two changes; they only reprinted the effected pages which saved me a bundle. I highly recommend DSJ printing and look forward to working with them again. read more

Jerry helped me and really took the time to go over the different types of printing options for my specific job. I am very thankful for this place and would recommend it over any print shop in the area. read more

I actually have yelp (and all of your reviews!) to thank for helping me find this OUTSTANDING business. Michael and Jerry have been so amazing and helpful I wish I could give them infinitely more than 5 stars! When my husband and I walked in to DSJ we had an idea we were very excited about but lacked the knowledge to bring it to life. The guys at DSJ were patient, knowledgable & so happy to help. They spent so many hours working with us on our project - both @ their office and ours. The finished products have far exceeded my expectations & bring me so much pride! I have gotten positive feedback from everyone I have shown the materials to! The quality of work @ DSJ is undeniable & the staff is fun to work with. Michael & Jerry helped us turn our vision into an operational, professional company. I highly recommend DSJ!! read more

We DIY'd our own wedding invitation suite and had DSJ do all of the printing and cutting. They did such a fabulous job! The color and quality came out perfectly and their customer service was top-notch. They did 2 test prints for me before printing the entire suite, which I appreciated because we were able to fine-tune everything. One of the things I liked best about working with DSJ was that they really worked within my budget (which all vendors say they'll do but rarely actually do). Great, local family run business. read more

I wanted to support a family-owned business so had my wedding invitations printed at DSJ Printing. I provided detailed instructions via email that were confirmed in person when we dropped off our paper; when we came to pick up the invitations, only half were complete due to an error on their side. The printer agreed to complete the order by end of day, but then wasn't able to meet the deadline. A week later when I came to pick up the completed invitations, the print job still was not complete and the invites had been cut to different sizes. (The printer was not supposed to do any cutting.) Bright side: They fixed the uneven cutting and finished the job while I waited, and the result looks great. In their favor the people at the front desk were very helpful about getting the order together (finally) after a 2-3 week process and the end result is lovely. read more

These guys are just not great business men. They treat you like you're a customer they can do without and don't really care to be on top of things. I wish I could've gone somewhere else but it all unravelled after I dropped off my files and paid the deposit. Keeping it simple, they don't call you and update you as promised, and there prices are higher than most printers. I would try somewhere else, and use these guys as a last resort. I gave them 2 stars because my cards came out looking good at least. read more

Our company have them do all our printing work and business cards. They are fast and the best price in the area! Great relationship with Michael, he helps us with any of our needs! Amazing quality! read more

I was amazed by the level of service and kindness at DSJ. Yesterday, I went in hoping to place an order before the holiday weekend. After learning that they were closing early and would be closed until Tuesday (it was a Thursday), I was a bit bummed, but understood that it was my fault- I had waited until the last minute. After talking to Jerry for a little bit, he told me that he could do my small print job on the spot for me! He took the time to show me the different kinds of card stock for business cards, the difference between all the kinds of printing they offer, and even printed a test run of business cards for me on 2 different kinds of stock! He was so patient and helpful, I never even realized that he stayed later to run and cut my prints before taking off for the holiday weekend. I will definitely be returning to DSJ for all my printing needs! read more

DSJ truly is as good as it gets. Not once, but three times they have come through for me. Last minute, with excellent quality and customer service. I am so grateful to have them on my 'team." They truly saved me from not being able to provide books to orders that were being placed. Thank you! Michael, Jerry and Jeffrey and the whole staff, who was nothing but cordial and helpful every time I called! read more

The crew at DSJ were extremely helpful to me in producing my final school projects, including the printing of my portfolio. I had a great experience with them and would recommend DSJ to anyone in that area. read more

DSJ went above and beyond to make sure everything I ordered was absolutely perfect. They went back and forth on email with me and met all of my last minute needs! Mike is really helpful and even sent my stuff out to me. They are the BEST!!! read more

Thank God for these guys. I got into a trade show (Nappywood) last minute. No matter what I asked them for they did it. They are printing more flyers for me as I speak and I just came on yelp to see what time they closed and they are working overtime on my stuff!! Zowie. I didn't know they had graphic design people either. Love, love. read more

Jeff Jr. and his team helped me get press materials ready for a film festival: stickers, postcards, full sized movie posters and flyers, under a very tight timeline. I was a bit of a difficult customer, and made some last minute additions. They were able to deliver, when I suspect other shops would have told me my changes were impossible. Don't haggle with these guys- they are giving very fair prices, for the highest quality printing services. They will work with you on short turnarounds, and you never have to worry that the outcome will be anything less than what you expect from professionals. read more

Great local printer, fast service and competitive pricing.

Michael and the entire team at DSJ are absolutely amazing. I rarely write reviews but our experience warranted one. We were on a tight schedule and needed prints done asap. They delivered earlier than expected. BUT when I picked up the print job, I realized a made a huge mistake and ordered it on the wrong stock. They immediately worked with us with the correct paper stock, printed and cut our order in the 12 minutes were were engaging in an animated conversation with Michael. Incredible! Quality and professionalism are impeccable. Thanks again for saving us and we will be definitely be going to you guys from now on. read more

Came here to print wedding invitations and was so pleased with the service we received. Victor was so incredibly kind, patient, and helpful that he made our experience so amazing. I recommend him to anyone that wants that special of a service. Couldn't have done it without him!!!! read more

I'm a first time customer, and had a fantastic customer service experience at DSJ Printing. They really wanted to make sure that the job was done right for me, and went the distance to make sure it was. I was very happy with the job, and will definitely be using them again. If you have a project that requires high quality printing, I highly recommend DSJ Printing. read more

Michael and the people at DSJ did an excellent job on my portfolio. They gave me extra copies that I didn't even ask for! I would definitely use their services again. read more

These guys are great - I've had business cards printed with them several times and the staff is top notch and super friendly. There was an error on the cards I picked up today, which was the fault of my company, yet they still fixed it, reprinted the cards while I waited, and didn't charge me any extra for the order. The work is also excellent. Go see them! read more

I don't know what I would do without Graphic Artist, Jerry Bernard, and DSJ Printing. I have published several books, with Jerry at the helm, and have just completed a poster for my new film. All have gone far beyond what I could have imagined. We all know how important the visual design is for all of our careers and companies. I am just so grateful. read more

Happy to have found Michael here- he and DSJ fixed a custom job for me that I had originally had done at a Fedex place where they nearly ruined it. DSJ handled it to the high standard I needed- it would have saved me time, money, and frustration to have just come to DSJ first. If the work is important to you, bring it here! read more

Michael and his team were exceptional! We had our wedding invites printed here and he not only delivered them on time but when we noticed a problem with them (that was completley our fault) they reprinted them by the night the following day. Great price for everything. Great quality. We will defineitley be back with future projects! read more
