This might look like a shop for fancy commercial printing, but even if you're just a hobbyist looking to get a fanbook printed, these guys are fantastic. The results are beautiful, the turnaround time is incredibly fast, and the prices are perfectly reasonable too. You'd be a fool to order from an online printing service when there's Lightning Press nearby; they'll get it to you faster, with better quality, better service, and not a cent spent on shipping. read more

Keith was extremely responsive via email and I coordinated a time to meet with him. Upon arrival, his brother Ken helped me out instead. Ken shared some knowledge about high resolution scans with me. Ken was extremely kind and helpful and most of all, down to Earth. We chatted for a bit and shared a few laughs too. While my visit this time was very simple, I would highly recommend this spot for print needs and will return if I ever have any other print needs. read more

First and foremost, I would not wish this on anyone, but having an infant or child leave earth so soon, on the holidays and have a funeral all within 10 days is not for the faint of heart. Despite all that and their recent return from the holidays, Keith and his brother at Lightning Press have gone above and beyond in helping us provide high quality prints for our program and memorial cards, as well as foam board posters for our collages and prints. We had submitted work to them on Wednesday and hope to have everything by Friday for a Saturday (1/6/24) funeral, and would you believe it all within less than 24h of submission, they had it ready by the next morning for pickup? Seeing the excellent and superior workmanship brought us one step closer to closing this hard chapter in our lives and honestly could not stop me from getting emotional just seeing it there as they presented it to us. They are caring professionals who have a passion and pride for the work and solutions they provide their clients. They are very responsive to their e-mails and very personable. They will ensure that your expectations are met and exceeded. I look forward to continuing our relationship and will look to them for future projects and printing needs. And will attest and assure that I will refer our friends and family. Our photos do not do the work justice and does not show the quality and craftsmanship, however from the thick premium cardstock to the definition and clarity in the print its nothing short of AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for all the work, help, and speediness of the work you've done. read more

For some reason I did not even look at Yelp before doing business with Keith. My decision to go with Lightning Press was made after the first of only two phone calls we had. I just paid Keith for his work and was happy to do it.(second phone call). I am not surprised at all to see so many 5 star reviews. Professional, helpful, responsive, and the business cards he designed and printed for me came out awesome. All accomplished via email. Hands down one of the very best B to B experiences I can remember. Thank you again Keith. read more

Called for a quote and within minutes, Kenny was able to help out and provide me with more details. We needed to have our own design, baby shower invites done, and literally within the same business day, we got our invites. It was as seamless as could be from beginning to end, quick response time, and the end-product was tailored to our liking. We didn't have to deal with having to upload and send numerous photos, Kenny was very direct about what he was able to create, and gave his simple suggestions with resolution, etc., which was much more than I could ask for (considering numerous print shops in the area and options for online services). From now on, all of our printing needs will be through Lightning Press! (No photos of the baby shower invite due to info). Just know, they were well made: cardstock along with matching envelopes. read more

Came here for a last minute project! +++ SERVICE +++ Keith is hands down amazing! He is really responsive to emails, very quick turn around time. I went in to meet him before printing and he printed my art on demo pieces on different paper with different ink intensities. He took the time to show me each machine and all his services. Keith didn't even bat an eye about my time crunch. He said he would get it done. He followed up with me even after the printing was done and I picked up the product. This level of customer service is amazing. +++ PRINTING +++ There are several large printing machines, laminators, cutting machines. Keith offers lots of options and will refer you to friends for services he doesn't provide. The prints are great quality, clear and crisp. Also he offers an amazing price! +++ OVERALL +++ I will come here for all my printing needs AND I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to print anything. You're the best, Keith!!! read more

Keith gave me exceptional service! I found Lightning Press through Yelp and needed to get things printed for work. He went above and beyond for my team and me.

He was such a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Lightning Press for all your printing needs. Keith and his staff do a remarkable job. read more

Ken is awesome. So friendly, responsive and helpful. Couldn't have found a better gem of a printer!

The BEST printing services ever.

Lightning Press has made my job easier and my clients very happy.

Keith is sooooo super friendly and honest. I called him for a quote and he gave me a great deal. He also gave me advice and alternative options for my printing needs. He printed a sample placemat for me to take home. I shared it with the teacher and other parents and placed my order the next day. He was willing to do the job for free and donate the placemats to the class. What a generous offer. I told him it was very generous but i wanted to pay for his services. I will come back for other printing jobs and you should too! Ps the $75 minimum fee on the website has been waived ever since the pandemic hit. Help this small local business! read more

For my wedding, I had downloaded a lot of Etsy templates that needed to be printed. While most suggested online printers, I decided to look for something local - figured if there was an issue, I could just work with them directly and not have to deal with the shipping. A quick yelp search and I found the excellent reviews of Lightning Press and extremely impressed that it was walking distance. I was really pleased with Ken - since this was all new to me - I was a bit of a newbie with how to download the files, but he was super patient with me and everything we printed was perfection! Our Welcome foam board, our church programs and all the menus and place cards. Ken printed samples for me so that I could see the print quality and the different paper available. Everything was printed quickly - I was able to pick it all up the very next day! Highly recommend this local print shop - I wish I had more stuff to print. read more

Keith went above and beyond to process our order of 50 large size posters on a tight timeline. Very responsive, super kind, impeccable customer service, on time completion and very reasonably priced. Keith and his brother care about and stand by their work - and it is truly quality work. read more

These guys are the real deal. They did our wedding invitations, poster sized signs displaying our seating chart (we had two seating changes which they knocked out right away) a cute cash bar sign and they printed custom labels we put on our wedding favor jars. Fast, quality and totally outstanding service. I'll never go anywhere else. They are the perfect combination of old school service and being super modern tech/digital savvy. read more

I decided to give Lightning Press a try after spending so much time getting architectural plans printed out at Fedex. I was pleasantly surprised! Not only was Keith super nice, he was much faster and the architectural plans came out so much more clear! His prices are competitive if not cheaper than other places and he packages the prints together very nicely. I was so impressed, I ended up coming here several times afterwards to get architectural plans and structural calculations printed. Truly a hidden gem. Thanks, Keith! read more

Keith and Ken were wonderful to work with. Ken in particular was able to assist with printing and meet all of my printing needs. Invitations turned out great and I am really happy with how it turns out. If any in the future should I need printing needs, the lightning press is definitely my go to. read more

We have worked with Keith for several years. His quality is impeccable and customer service, world class.

Printed a giant 4x8 foam core board with vibrant color quality and the machine cuts everything with high precision! The best printer shop in the bay area is run by a brother team, Ken and Keith!

Super easy to work with them to figure out what looks good and always within budget. They're super sweet, helpful, and we can't recommend them enough. read more

I had such an amazing experience with Lightning Press. My uncle passed away and I was trying to figure out printing a portrait and programs for a small service, and unfortunately the picture we had was VERY poor quality. I emailed Lightning Press and received a response within a couple hours and scheduled to come in the next day. I took my picture to the shop, and Keith printed a test picture free of charge. We discussed what sizing and additional edits could be made to optimize the picture we were working with. Eventually I was able to edit the photo as best as it could be, and the print came out great! I also needed some programs printed, and Keith had a bunch of different card stock to choose from, and those turned out amazing as well. Keith is super honest, works quickly, was available for last-minute edits, and I was very impressed with the quality. Small businesses like Keith's have been affected by the pandemic, but Keith's priority was to make sure I had what I needed following my uncle's passing. It felt nice to know that amidst a tough time for businesses, Lightning Press was there to support people in their community. read more

This place is awesome! I worked with Kieth to get some last minute art prints printed, and he was amazing to work with. He was able to get me digital proofs within 15 min of me sending my art files, and was able to provide me physical proofs within 10 mins of approval of my digital proofs. Kieth is fast and efficient, and the quality / price is really good. I will definitely be using their service in the future! read more

I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. I had a "trade show malfunction" with some large prints. They were so easy to work with, helped with graphics, cuts and prints, just perfect. And seriously a nice bunch of people. I'll give them business anytime. Well priced too! A+ read more

Words cannot express how awesome this print shop is! The first time working with them was when I needed to have my birthday invites printed and all I can say in no other place can match or beat the quality and price! But what really wowed me was the customer service I received recently. My Father in Law, a veteran, passed away a few months ago and for his memorial service I needed to have prayer cards printed ASAP. I emailed the shop and they were able to beat my deadline request and provide superior print and cut services. The prayer cards turned out beautifully. My first and only choice to fulfill my printing needs! read more

Keith was amazing. I needed a sign/business cards done for my basketball clinic and on such short notice Keith came through for me right away.

His communication with me was amazing during this process. read more

Keith is great, he went above and beyond to ensure a last minute order went through in time for a deadline. Very courteous, honest, upfront, and reliable business. Best print store in the South Bay. read more

Lightning Press has been the easiest group to work with. Kenny has been nothing but helpful, making the process of printing out invites wonderful. We came in with a design and Kenny was able to produce for us within a 24hr window. I can't think of any other company being able to do that when they're that busy. I highly recommend Lightning Press for whatever you need (invites, banners, etc.) Thanks a bunch! read more

Ok, if I could give them 6 stars, I would. There is certainly a good reason lightning press has great reviews and it's because of the superior level of service these wonderful brothers, Keith and Ken, provide to their customers.

My invitations were printed beautifully without any imperfections or loss of color integrity. I HIGHLY recommend Lightning Press for any printing needs! read more

Keith is kind, responsive & customer-oriented. I found Keith due to his office's location coz of an unexpected breakdown of an office plotter & I needed the print-out next morning. He put customer situation first & he immediately dealt with my request. He printed & left it in front of his office for me picking up. He even said it's no charge to me & I could let him know if I need to change anything. He saved my headache at that time with his kind & customer-focus attitude. I highly recommend anyone Keith for all your personal & commercial prints from him. Thank you Keith read more

This is my first Yelp review, and I wanted to write about my great experience with Lightning Press. A few months ago, I was looking for a printing company that could print wedding invitation inserts for me. Having only had experience with copy services from big stores like Office Depot and Staples, I wasn't sure what to expect. Keith surpassed all my expectations and I'm so glad we found him and Lightning Press. Not only is Lightning Press quick to respond to emails, but their quality is amazing. I was so impressed by the high quality and variety of the papers they offered, as well as the colors and sharpness in the printing. They also finish printing projects LIGHTNING FAST! After printing our invitation inserts, I went back a few months later to print our programs, as well as some labels and menus. Keith was so easy to work with and fun to talk to. He even emailed me to let me know that the formatting on one page was a little off. I was so glad he informed me about that, and quickly re-formatted the page. During the times I picked up my orders, I also noticed Keith and Lightning Press did incredible work for other nearby businesses---beautiful menus, signs, business cards, and so much more. I would highly recommend Lightning Press to all my friends. I wish all businesses had such great customer service and excellent quality as this one. Thanks to Keith and Lightning Press for all your help with our printing! read more

awesome shop and awesome owner. I will definitely come back in the future. I need to print out some college textbooks from my electronic books since my eyes got hurt if I stare into computer screen for too long. While other shops will try to make a fortune out of me but this shop does not do that, so I really appreciate that. read more

I came here to get announcement/thank you cards printed after recently getting married. Ken took the time going over different paper weights and ink deposits and even printed out a few test prints making sure I'd be happy with the final product.

When I picked up the price was great and the quality was outstanding. Support local business. I highly recommend Lightning Press! read more
