Put a Bird on It!…read more This is the place to come for your Portlandia fix, if you are into birds, or if you are a fan of the quirky and fantastic art of letterpress. I love it that you can hear the clickity clack of the presses from the minute you walk in, because they actually are conducting printing while you are in the store. The cards, stationary and wall prints (either suitable for framing, or in some cases, sold in frames) are artful, odd, and whimsical. I suspect that many people who don't know Lark Press stumble in during their two hour weekend wait for brunch mecca, Tasty n Sons. On the other hand, those epic waits provide great exposure to a reemerging art form that's taking off in Portlandia, and all over the Pacific NW.

Adorable, small cardshop that I doubt I would have spotted if I had been driving on Sandy instead…read moreof taking the bus. It is tucked back behind the intersection of NE Lawrence and Sandy (CHURCH bar). I just happened to see it on my ride to meet a friend at the Zipper strip for food and beer. I was early for my meeting so dropped down to see what this shop was all about. It says Cards on the sign - but it's in somekind of warehouse. The actual shop only took up a bit of space, not sure what goes on in rest of building. Anyway, lots of great, unique Holiday cards at reasonable prices, cute (locally minded) gifts. Shoot! Just finished buying my cards - wish I would have come here first. Clerk smiled when I entered, otherwise, I just browsed and worked my way around the store among the other shoppers.

I was really surprised when I went out in the world to get a resume and postcard printed. I must…read morehave contacted over 7 local printers, some having been in business for decades. It was nearly impossible to find anyone that could show you a sample of basic cream paper or paper texture or weights.They all had scraps of this and that. One guy would not even get up from his chair to help me at the desk. When I walked into Paperjam Press, a half hour from where I live. It was like I arrived. Cute store, actual samples to choose from. Highly organized. Friendly. Moderate prices. Delivered everything they said they would do. Answered the phone! Answered every email. Outstanding in every single way. I would never go anywhere else and I can say more professional than any other printer I visited in person. They even put my small order in this tidy box. This is where you need to go for the best service and total satisfaction of the finished product and outstanding customer service.

I've worked with Paperjam Press for a few projects now, and everything's gone well. It's nice to…read moresupport a place in the neighborhood. Located on a cute section of Fremont, there are only two parking spots out front with additional free street parking nearby. Though it's a small shop, visibility to the customer area in the front isn't great, so sometimes when they're busy they don't see you right away and you have to speak up. They've been quick to respond to emails, and have a decent turnaround time regularly, with the option for a ~$25 rush fee for same-day printing. Automatic notifications go out when your order is ready for pickup. Quality has been good on the color flyers and postcards I've had printed, and I'll be looking to do a few poster boards soon so I'm hopeful those will turn out great.

The first…read moreone, a gray one, with a faux wear/chip at bottom is gorgeous and after using them for a week can say I like the weight, which is just right, and they are nice to hold. Definitely happy with these. I would give these mugs a 5 star. The other, is in my personal opinion, nothing like the photos online and I would consider this more than artist variance in uniquely crafted items. This is the Simple Mug Matte Gray which we were looking forward to having the most. We were very unhappy and the owner worked with me directly to resolve the situation which I am grateful for as these cost quite a bit of money and was a splurge for us to buy 6 mugs in total.

And yet I've never been. Until today. I probably saved quite a bit of money by doing that too!! The items they sell are made by small local artists and businesses, so they're not cheap. They're worth buying and supporting our local community. Service was as great as everything else was. We had a good laugh as we were checking out. I LOVE this place and definitely will return.
