Having a home-based printing business isn't always easy. In fact, it's filled with challenges that,…read moreespecially if pressed for time, can drive you nuts. I'm thankful there's You Print right outside the village. It's my go-to printing center for items which I cannot print on my own, like tarpaulins, A3 size posters, and other media such as standees or stickers mounted on cintra boards. For several times already, I have panicked because of my printer breaking down, having technical issues, or even just merely running out of ink and being in a rush to produce in time to meet a deadline or delivery. I like that their technicians are always knowledgeable and easy to give instructions to. Sometimes, I just write down my instructions on a piece of paper, and send my flash drive with our helper who just hands it to them. So far, I have not had any negative experience with them. I always get what I need in good quality and with good service.

Wow! Great job, You Print! This article caught my attention for it was very agreeable. YouPrint is…read morewhere I offer people to go to whenever they seem to ask for places where they could print. Not only that it has a very great service, but the place is also welcoming and pleasing. Seeing the eye catching samples made and the huge range of services are really great for I know that this place is definitely worth the price! I love how they offer great promos and services with affordable prices. Plus, I am impressed with the types of machine they have that produce great quality print outs. Lastly, I admire the entertaining, trustworthy, respectful and friendly crew they have! I have never gotten to experience a negative impression with them especially when I give out instructions over the phone for they know how to follow instructions clearly.

It's hard to pin down a good printing service that provides all your printing needs. Discovering…read moreMackim Prints in Makati Cinema Square was both a relief and a godsend. The shop offers large-format copying and printing as well. Most photo stores found in malls have a cut-off size in printing photographs (the largest printing size they usually offer would be short-bond paper sized or around 8.5 x 11 inches) but Mackim Printing can accommodate very large-sized prints, almost tarp-sized. For the architects and engineers out there, they also have a big copying machine that can copy or print out large-scale architectural plans. They also offer book-binding services available in varying sizes, create calling cards and even have an in-house design team that can help you out with your minimal design needs. Personally, I think the cost for their services is very affordable and the quality of printing is also quite good. Though make sure not to get too nitpicky about the kinds of paper stock available as there are only limited choices.

Primex is a full service printing company that can help from designing & layouting to printing and…read moreproducing the actual final copy. They made my former office's company planner, which came out really really nice. They were so easy to work with! Mariel handled the project and worked with us for several weeks as we made our own design. She merely advised how we could go about it, and which materials we could use. They had their own graphic designers who could do it for us, but since we had our own concept and our own designer, Primex just did the actual production of the pieces. I only had to provide a page plan and the final prints & layouts, and they were able to work with it to our exact specifications. They were very patient and receptive to comments during our back and forth, from type of paper, (I needed FSC quality paper and they had 'em!) type of cut, texture and finish of the cover, and the colors and hues of the final copy. Mariel was very patient and diligent with going through everything and going back and forth to our office to present samples, give other suggestions, and answer our questions. Mostly, she was very fair with the pricing and even advised on how we could save more and be more efficient with our design. It wasn't just about making money off of the project. Definitely quality service all the way through!

I was once scrambling to print over 2000 flyers for a convention that one of my businesses was…read moreattending and we had a delay on delivery from one of our suppliers. I was lucky enough to find at the ground floor of our building Mr. Printer who happily printed our requirements with just a nominal rush order fee. Their staff and owner are very friendly and accommodating. If you need any professional printing services done like making your calling cards, letter heads, posters, flyers, standees with design, tarps and signages, light boxes, labels, and many more, Mr. Printer can help you for a reasonable price. Advertising collaterals and professional corporate collaterals are easily done for you and they can even help with a template or design. They also have regular promos for whatever you need to print so its worth checking out their website or going to them directly to see how they can help you. I was very happy with their services and I am definitely a repeat client ever since that time they printed me out of my predicament!

I'm used to having all my major printing work done in the Taft/La Salle area where it's cheaper and I'm already a 'suki', but sometimes it's just too much trouble to go all the way there. Print Avenue is a convenient place to have all your printing needs/photocopying done, and conveniently situated in Salcedo Village. It's perfect for me when I have to run to a meeting but need some files printed professionally. I've had my design work printed here, and the print quality is excellent, with a fast turnaround. There was this one time I was running late to an interview and needed some ID photos printed in a snap, and Print Avenue saved my day. Though naturally, rates here would be a bit pricier than most print shops (I guess it's because they really have a good location-ground floor walk up and in one of Makati's more elite neighborhoods). But, I believe the service, convenience and quality is worth shelling out a few pesos for.

I once needed a poster size booklet printed to present my project. I needed a very specific size and needed it to look like a glossy magazine so they had to go out of their usual printing services and they were very helpful! We figured out a way to bond the pages together and it was all a very good job!

This place has saved me so many times!…read more There were times in college when some book I needed wasn't available in any bookstore. The only copy was in my school's library. I would run to Copylandia to have it photocopied. When my thesis partner and I had to make hundreds of copies of our survey, we would run here again. And when I needed to make several copies of sequence guides, shot lists and scripts, I'd come here. Just know that there will be times when the place is full of people all waiting for their photocopies. If you don't need it right away, they sometimes allow you to leave it overnight or leave it with them in the morning and come back in the afternoon. But hey, it's cheap and the quality is pretty good.

This Copylandia branch has been with my misery of photocopying event materials and flyers back in…read moremy office secretary days. I can say this branch would've been my favorite photocopying place in all of Ayala. Why? Let me count the ways. One: The staff here are friendly and accommodating. There hasn't been a transaction I've made here that got my blood pressure skyrocketing to the stratosphere. They are fast, and they obviously know their machines well. Two: The line is manageable. More often than not, Photocopying services are flocked by so many people, it takes you super long waiting for your turn. And all the more annoying if you're only going to photocopy one page or two! I've never experienced that in here. You can probably blame their "hiddenness" in Greenbelt 1, which is just convenient to me altogether. Three: They can do bulk photocopying and would even cut to size for you! Of course you would have to ask that as a "favor", so be friendly. Four: They have many choices of paper quality, types and sizes. If you're in need of large photocopying services, this is the place to be. Five: Their price range is....okay, I guess. But it's a mall shop. Expect it to be higher than usual.

I'm a creature of habit. And I especially make it a habit to patronize businesses that do quality…read moreservice and maintain great relationships with their customers. That is why since college, or for a decade now, I still go to Alva Computer and Photocopy Services for my printing and photocopying needs. They may not be the shop that offers the cheapest rate for these services in the Taft Avenue and Vito Cruz areas, but the quality of their finished product makes all the difference. Their "powder xerox" (at Php .60 per page) is of already of print quality (there's none of the usual grey and black smudges on the paper). What's more, they use good quality (read: thick) paper, not those flimsy coupon bonds used by other photocopiers. When you're on a budget and need multiple copies of a document that have to look like the original, just have them print one set and photocopy the rest. It's cheaper that way, and the difference in quality is not that noticeable. Black and white printing would cost you Php 2 per page, more than the usual "piso print", but again, quality spells the difference. Colored printing starts at Php 5, cheaper than in other shops. Aside from printing and photocopying services, the Estrada Branch also offers ID picture-taking and printing, colored photocopying, and poster printing. The shop also doubles as an Internet cafe.

I see Randxell as some convenient hybrid of a printing press and a graphic printing shop. You can…read morehave fully colored magazines done there, digitally and offset. You can have a CAD design printed. Even mass photocopying, booklets, business cards, invitations are available, among others. They are also authorized by BIR to print official receipts. I don't know about you, but their wide range of printing services is pretty impressive. If you regularly ride the bus, you've probably passed by their Gil Puyat branch, having a convenient location that's easy to find and a huge sign that screams "HEY, LET ME PRINT YOUR STUFF!" at the front (just kidding, it says Randxell Printing Services). So look no more, it has pretty much what you're looking for. Careful crossing Osmena Highway though. (That's the part I hate the most going to Randxell).
