So I discovered this place today. As a manager I am always looking for places that are easy to use,…read morequick, quality, and able to work around my busy schedule. This place is fantastic, phoned them and the man was very polite and helpful. Exchanged a few e-mails to finalise things, good clear communications. They even noticed a spelling mistake in our URL (Good catch!) Finally the price, I had to ask the man to reconfirm the price! It was so reasonable I didn't believe it! Much cheaper than anything else I was quoted today and our previous printing company. Overall - I'll definitely be back in the very near future to do business again.

I have some really warm memories of Ink Spot from when i was a kid. It was always the place i…read morelooked forward to coming to when my mum and dad took me shopping to Hamilton. I loved crafty stuff and it sold some pretty cool toys too, like the Anne Geddes Babies i used to collect. It sits apart from the main cluster of shops and the shopping centre, on the way down to the big Asda. This place is an Aladdin's Cave of stationery. Need an HB pencil? Come here. A pink Filofax with kittens on it? Second shelf on the left madam. Biro that transforms into a deckchair? Yup, you'll find one here. But be warned , you'll pay for it! It really isn't cheap, so if you only need the basics i would suggest trying somewhere else first. However if you are a crafty connoisseur, or you're looking for something very specific, Ink Spot is the place for you! (Disclaimer: A transforming deckchair Biro does not yet exist. I made that bit up. So you may get a funny look if you ask for one here.)

So I must confess - I have a bit of a stationery fetish. Nothing quite like the smell of a freshly…read moresharpened pencil or like rows of coloured pencils lined up by shade (yes yes I did and still do crave the entire set of crayola colours!!!) Anyway, this place has so many cool art supplies that even the most non-artistic, non-creative person in the world will be compelled to purchase some funky craft paper or some random modelling clay or engineering grade pencil. School projects and Brownie badge work has been aided with supplies from here and I can never resist popping in when I have a minute and I am nearby. They have, in the past few years, got a range of fancy dress costumes as well - so they are branching out somewhat from merely traditional stationery supplies. I don't know if that is a direction I am really loving, but in this economy, anything that helps local independent businesses is fine by me. This place is NOT cheap though and is its main failing. I would seriously doubt if art students would actually buy their supplies from here, If the prices were a little bit lower and the staff didn't look at you as if you were about to shop lift then I would love it even more. It is definitely a stationers as opposed to a full on specialist art store I reckon. As an art shop for true artists (although clearly I am not, and am just surmising, I would definitely give it a 3. As a place to find cool knick knacks, gifts and pens with a good motion (see told you I was obsessed!) then possibly a 4. On the whole it is a pretty shop with lots of lovely goodies and some luxurious stationery. With slightly lower prices this would be a 4 overall, bit as it stands a solid 3!

These guys are brilliant - the staff are friendly and chatty, always able to help. They definately helped me out in my time of need. Normally during dissertation time, you need to book your dissertation in at least 2 weeks in advance as they get pretty busy, but luckily they managed to squeeze me in last minute (life savers!), as to which I will be eternally grateful. Nice selection of services - I will definately be going back there if I ever need anything in the stationery department.

So overpriced!! And one of the male staff members - so rude…read more Printed out a portfolio, and the grey tones didn't even show in it and some other drawings were very faintly printed. I won't be going back.
