This is my new go-to spot for printing. They did an exceptional job for my mom's funeral services programs and portrait for a tripod. The quality, font, and color came out perfectly. The communication here is professional and convenient. I spoke with the staff on the phone, via email, and in-person regarding my order. The prices are reasonable and the turnover time to receive for item(s) is excellent. I'm looking forward to coming back here for future printing services. read more

If I could give Far Better Printing a 10-star rating, I absolutely would. THIS PLACE TOTALLY ROCKS!!! I worked directly with Joe but, the entire team was available & amazing. Picture this- I'm at work in Georgia, 2 days before Christmas, Far Better would be closed on the 24th, & 26th and I needed funeral programs printed, for a funeral on the 27th. A souped-up, 15-page booklet with pictures (not the flimsy 2-pager). I called Far Better on around 2PM on 12/23 to see if they could assist with this last-minute print job. My PDF was too big to send via email; my work firewall blocked the alternative Joe provided. He then suggested I share my Canva with him so he could retrieve it there. By the time Joe had my file, it was around 3:30 PM. He stayed on the phone with me to confirm in real time that he gained access to the file while still handling in-person clients I had no idea what type of binding I wanted but Joe walked me through the entire process reassuring me every step of the way, and he did not disappoint. And the cost...I was expecting to pay an arm & a leg but, to my surprise, they were BEYOND REASONABLE. About $400 less than what Staples quoted me for the exact same job. Can't say enough about the quality of the results and the service. Very pleasant experience through & through. Thank you so much, Joe & the Far Better team. ~Magna read more

Great experience at this store , reasonable rates, excellent service, professional staff.

The first thing I did when I needed custom-made shirts was go on Google....but this is not exactly how I found Far Better Printing. I casually was looking in the area for printing services and decided to inquire, and thank god I did! I found that Far Better was indeed far better than other printing services in the area, and shops I have found on Google. Other stores were charging me $130-$200 for 6 custom-made shirts, but Far Better charged me $65 for 6 custom-made T-shirts which came up to $70 (including tax). Overall the best value I have gotten. I worked with Brandon and Joe to get the idea I wanted. They were good communicators and excellent to work with. I rate this company 4 stars since I wasn't able to get everything I wanted for my custom-made design. I was looking for specific types of fonts to use such as "Primal Scream" and "Flame on" but they were not able to offer me those fonts unless I paid about $20 for them (which I didn't want to do). I was disappointed by that, and it slightly ruined my design however, the shirts came out great and my family loved them. I wouldn't mind returning here for printing services. read more

This business is awesome. Wouldn't go anywhere else. The customer service is great. I went today and was in and out.

HIDDEN GEM! This is my Go-to shop for anything on paper. They won't disappoint. Best prices Best product(printing, photo, booklet, etc) Quick turnaround ...and they're super NICE! read more

It saddens me to say this, but all of the people working here are deeply deeply incompetent (/wildly unhelpful). If you have an option to go literally anywhere else I would highly recommend you do that. (Take a subway elsewhere even. It's truly not worth it to come here. I needed two sets of course packets for a Brooklyn college class. This is the only place where I could get them (the monopoly this place seems to have for the Brooklyn College community but also the larger community is, I assume, a big part of why they're so terrible). My professor told me that they would only print the packet if we called them in advance (because it's expensive). It's also very large and each set has two books each. Printing, he said, takes 20 minutes per set. I called on Wednesday morning asking for a packet printed for Friday at 10am (when they open). I was told it would be ready for me. I also was going to pick up a packet for a classmate. She called Friday morning at 10am. They said it could be ready by my 10:45am arrival. I show up at 11:15 and am told they need '10 minutes' because they have not printed my friends packet yet. I assume this is an underestimate but I don't say anything and just ask about the packet I called about on Wednesday. Apparently this one hasn't been printed either. The staff member I spoke to wasn't one big apologetic, which was baffling to me because that's two instances of them not doing what they've said they would as a business. 35 minutes later (I was told 20 minutes originally) I ask what the situation is. I'm polite but terse. I said I was told 20 minutes and it's been 35, what's the situation? The staff member says exasperatedly, 'what do you want me to do sweetheart? What can I do?' As though I'm incredibly unreasonable for asking after something I was told by a staff member would be done 15 minutes ago (and should have been done by the time I arrived). I'm still here and now it's been 45 minutes. I've still not received what I need. There are huge lines in the store. I hear someone else being sent away (they gave a project two weeks ago and it's still not ready. He checked in last week too.' The staff Member speaking to him says, 'It is what it is.' Two people are sent away because something is broken. It is truly infuriating to be here (still) when I should have been able to be in and out. In conclusion: 0 stars. Awful awful place. If you must come here then I am truly sorry for the ordeal you will face. read more

Really good prices and great service. Came here today you fax a document (because my fax machine is still broken) and I was in and out in a matter off minutes....granted there wasn't a line. The place is tidy, the displays are convincing, prices are okay, and staff is professional. They place will definitely see me again. *cash and credit* read more

I'm an artist who replicates their art in greeting cards. Joe Portagallo, Kenny, and MIke at Far Better Printing have the skills I require to get the job done. They seem to easily understand my needs and deliver a beautiful result every time. In addition, they are fast and efficient, upbeat and friendly, reasonably priced. To say they have exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. They have been a joy to work with. I told my husband to try them. He came away feeling the same way I do. They're terrific! A neighborhood gem. read more

We used Far Better to print the funeral programs for our father and they made the process so smooth and painless. Everyone was so helpful. Kenny has the patiences of a saint. The program came out beautiful. Thank you guys so much. read more

Far Better Printing should really be called Five-Star Far Superior Printing, because they live up to that name. Excellent customer service and wonderful printing quality. I've been to a few printing shops in the area, and nothing compares to this one. By far the best in Brooklyn! I don't typically write reviews, but considering what a great experience this was from start to finish, their attention to detail, and their turnaround time we couldn't be happier to have found this place! Would gladly return, and plan to do all of our jobs there. They are efficient to the max, especially Kenny who single handedly managed our request and ensured our satisfaction. I would highly recommend Kenny and Far Better printing!! read more

Do not recommend. I called them in advance to see if they could fully bind the long edge of 11x17 paper and they stated that they could. I then emailed them the file with clear directions for 6 spiral bound, double sided copies on 11x17 paper with no covers. I also said that I would pick them up at 2:30 (this was at 8:15 am) and if they couldn't process the order by then, to email me to come by later. When I showed up, they hadn't done the work (or emailed me) saying that they got swamped. However, all three of them were standing around and goofing off. One guy went into the back and 10 minutes later came out with 1 copy of the file, single sided, and spiral bound with an 11" binding strip. I repeated to them what I needed and they proceeded to tell me that the largest binding they have is 11". I asked why I was told they had 17" over the phone and they sidestepped the question by saying that they will go back and fix the problem. They then came back out (20 minutes later) with 6 copies, double sided; however, there was now a cover on them and still only bound with 11" binding. Not to mention, the binding was positioned almost at the bottom so when you open it up, the top half flops over. They refused to remove the covers or fix the binding. I needed them that day and did not have the time to go elsewhere so I grudgingly paid and left. Later, I found out that the holes for the binding on one of the copies was punched too close to the edge and that half of the binding wasn't even attaching the paper. Very unprofessional work (both in quality and looks) and poor customer service. I will go out of my rather than return here. read more

Excellent and Efficient Service, very good customer service. I love going here to get my papers printed/copied there's no long wait they receive your email immediately and it is printed in a timely manner. read more

I needed last-minute printing for a school publication, and Joe went above and beyond to make sure we got the magazine out on time. He was so kind and helpful, and was in constant communication to ensure that the final product looked how we wanted. I highly recommend! read more

Printed out some flyers for a community based organization. Great service, everyone was patient and gave me multiple options to choose from.

I recently used Far Better Printing for the first time last month and was really taken aback by the owner, Joseph's, standard of expediency, quality and investment in the community! He is someone that genuinely cares for his customers' satisfaction and will do all he can to meet their needs. His staff, especially Brandon who we worked with is very responsive and again, hold quality, fair pricing and great customer service at the forefront. Great shop, I highly recommend! read more

Kenny is amazing!! Definitely ask for him if you want fast and beautiful work done! We were planning for my dad's funeral and unfortunately left the printing last minute. He was able to work on our funeral program and laminated photos within the same day. The work was beautiful and more then what my family can ask for in a short time. He was sweet, patient and experienced. Definitely recommend this place for any printing or copy needs. The location is great. Right across from Brooklyn college with multiple transportation options. All the staff was helpful and greeted us with bright smiles too. They are amazing! Thank you again and we will be back during better times for more printing needs read more

This place is a total rip off. I used to print there all the time but now they have insane fees attached to each print. What's worst is that they don't say anything until it's all over with. Will never go there again. I get that it's a mom and pop shop but this is exactly how you lose customers. read more

Super fast, i love these guys! they make free copies sometimes too, if u ask nicely

An important place for any Brooklyn College student. The staff here is generally very quick and knows how to keep it moving when there are long lines. Students have to buy "course packs" here so at times it can get quite hectic, especially at the beginning of a semester. Their prices are fair (8 cents a page after the first page - cheaper than the xerox at the library), and the only thing I've ever done here other than copies is once I sent a fax - standard price for that, probably less than a Kinko's. I have never seen anyone order anything like invitations or etc, but they do offer more than what I need them for. Once they even hooked me up with some free copies since I had been in earlier and it was only like 3 pages. He must have recognized that girl who was always running late who needed 15 copies of some handwritten music. read more

Does not match prices, does not take care of customers, you will wait up to 7 days to receive items, asks for payment ahead of time before any work is done. Rip off. Avoid at all costs. Go to Printex Graphics instead have better deals and will have your items at your door within 2-4 days. read more

I went to this place for the second time to have documents printed off of my USB. It cost 90 cents for black and white. My only issue is my margins on my document appeared weird but for the most part, quick and fast. read more

I have known the owner Joe for over 18 years now. Everytime he does a job for us, it comes out without a hitch. His shop is always clean, organized and staff amazing. Actually those staff guys have been there forever. (Except Mike who has moved on to greener pastures) These guys really know what they are doing. read more

Far Better Printing did an amazing job printing my banner and promo cards on a very short notice. Everything came out beautiful. Joe, the owner was a real champ and helped me as much as he could. I'd definitely use their services again. Thank you!! read more

Came here to purchase a pre made book that contained all the readings that my professor wanted. The book costs $16.50. It consisted of about 50 pages. I'm still iffy on the price, but the service here was good - the lady behind the counter was sincere and made chatted with my friend and I. read more

Horrible service. Been going to this place for years no problem, needed documents printed from my flash drive got the prints, they had staples in them. I didn't want nor did I ask for them to be stapled, these were important tax documents where the submission requirements clearly states the documents cannot be bound in anyway. The guy (some guy with glasses), was rude and unapologetic, would did not reprint, but instead said I could just take the staples out, why would I want documents with holes in them. Needless to say I would warn customers to be weary of this place, the service is not consistent. read more

Not bad price. Get all things for classes here for BC. Unfortunately, when I see the big packets come , I sigh. LOL. reliable service always. read more

Unbelievable...Brandan is a superhero. He just solved my last-minute printing problems with enough time to prepare for a job interview in the eleventh hour. Not to mention, the printer generated crisp, high-res quality from low-res PDFs for my portfolio. I can't thank him and Far Better enough. There's a reason they've been in business for decades, and it's not just about their low prices for the same quality you'd pay double for in other parts of Brooklyn. And, yes, you can email them documents and printing instructions in advance. They're that good and that sensitive to customers' needs... read more

These guys went the extra mile when printing up my course work packet. I had gotten the wrong packet printed up. Far better gladly accepted the exchange for the correct packet and even stayed open late to print it up. read more

There is such an amazing team working here. The company I work for is located nearby (across from Brooklyn College), so we always go to them for all our printing and flyer needs. They are so friendly and knowledgeable in all work we've requested, and whenever something tricky was requested, they would figure it out, make it work, and always give friendly advice as to how to make our projects look better, and they always do! I usually deal with Joe directly, who offers great support every time, but everyone that I've had the pleasure of working with there has been outstanding. All projects come out refined, clean, and on point! Highly recommend. read more

paid 1.25$ for a copy of something that was one page . But when it showed up on their computer it was 1.5 pages . the lady insisted she wouldn't tamper and didn't feel like messing with it to get to fit to one page . ( understandable ) but it's also how u say things , and how she said it was rude and miserable old lady sounding . in other words save your money and don't go here unless i guess you need to for school . discovered another printing shop a block away . they should change the name bc nothing about the print shop nor the employees are far better . read more

I cant say thank you enough to the team at Far Better Printing. During the planning of my uncle's funeral we contacted them at the last minute to assist with the program. They provided fast , quick service along with the compassion we needed at this time. I cant thank them enough it was received on time and PERFECTLY! read more

I have been a customer of Far Better Printing for many years over other places in the neighborhood I can have my documents printed out from an email or faxed. I recently went in and the gentleman printed my letter with the email heading included, as I was in a hurry I didn't notice it until I got home. I went back not expecting to have a problem and the manager had the nerve to have an attitude, I'm so happy a UPS store opened near by their brand depends on excellent customer service unlike Far Better Printing who treats their loyal customers like yesterday's trash over a mistake they made that could've been so easily corrected. I shouldn't have returned when the little wretched old lady with the frizzy blonde hair was rude to me years ago I guess it's my fault for giving this business another chance. read more

Twice now, Far Better Printing has done a fantastic and thorough job for me and the schools I work with. We have printed full color postcards and tri-fold brochures with them, and they have turned out beautifully each time. Joe and Mike are wonderful to work with, and have done amazing turn-around times for me when I need quality materials fast. read more
