The Studio 312 is an awesome art studio/gallery. I've ordered a metal print in the past via the…read moreonline store and had great customer service and really quick delivery, as well as bought another "chromolux" (wood board with shiny finish) at the Bucktown art fest. Really reasonably priced & great quality, with a wood backer to the print to hang easily. This artist has some really cool work, mostly Chicago based street photography with a colorful graphic art modification, as well as photographs. I just recently came across the storefront on Paulina & Milwaukee & was super excited! The small (hence the name Crawl Space) yet gorgeous gallery has a few more artists displayed now also, all Chicago based artwork with the same options for materials. This studio also functions as a print shop, I'm an artist myself and am looking into having a few things printed on their materials. I recommend stopping by or contacting online. Also great for gift ideas!

Exceptional work!…read more Tim helped me decide between Chromaluxe printing and per his recommendation I couldn't be happier. He's an exceptional artist who was able to explain the entire printing process and happy to answer all of my questions. Highly recommend for a stand-up guy and a unique printing process that is guaranteed to be the center piece of conversation. Thanks again!

QUALITY PRODUCTS at a better rate than FedEx/kinkos I've…read morehad RossPrinting do a couple of jobs for me. They helped with menus for my wedding, stickers for a retirement party & garage sale fliers. Every job was completed on time & better than I expected. Just look at the pictures from my last project. I sent the same file with the same requirements to both places. Not hard to tell who I went with. RossPrinting took the time to square up my poster with out me asking or charging extra. On top of that the quality of paper was much better & cheaper.

These guys deserve their solid 5 star rating. For the past couple of years I've been doing smaller…read moreprint jobs at Kinkos or Fedex, and it's always a pain in the ass, expensive, and time consuming. I live close to Ross Printing, so one day I decided to look into their services. I emailed them at night about making some copies for a workshop I teach, they responded immediately and I emailed them the file. The next morning they emailed me asking if I wanted color or black and white, gave me the price options, and offered to staple the pages together. They are the best! This is what excellent customer service is all about. They were responsive, friendly, and went over and above, even for a relatively small job like mine. If you would drive to get to a chain store, you may as well drive to Ross. Their service is outstanding, and I will use them in the future for any printing needs. Support this wonderful small business!

I've had okay experiences at this Staples. I placed an order online for custom prints and paid an…read moreadditional fee for them to be ready before 11am the next day. When I went to go pick them up just after 11, the prints were not ready. No problem, I decided to go grab a coffee and come back. When I came back, she informed me that they would need more time, and it would be best if I came back in an hour. I went home and came back around 1pm. When I got there, they said they still needed to cut the prints. When they suggested I leave and come back, I kindly let them know I've already left without them twice and would really prefer to not do it again. By 1:30 I was able to leave with the prints. They turned out nice, but the lack of customer care was frustrating, especially when I was told I could expect them at a certain time, and didn't end up receiving them until over 2 hours later.

This is a review specifically about the new Staples "Bins" program. The idea is such that all items…read moreare 14 dollars starting Fridays and the price goes down 2 bucks a day until items are 2 dollars by Thursday. My wife and I were quite excited for the program and we have gone five different days now at different price points and we both agree that: 1- this was a great idea in theory. 2- this is not working at all. 3- you can't just upload Amazon trash on your customers and call it a deal. The VAST MAJORITY of the items are not worth spending a dollar on. These have to be items where it would be a loss for Amazon to restock it so they sell it in bulk to Staples and staples tries to make a couple bucks selling literal garbage to your already dwindling brick and mortar clientele. It's embarrassing for your company. I'm old school so I'll still pop in from time to time when I need pencils, but the bins are a complete failure.

The space is clean and well stocked with boxes, printers, and computers, making it possible to…read moreaccomplish a lot of tasks. I've visited here to mail packages as well as use the printing services. Because I'm able to access the printers without help from the employees, I can usually get out of there pretty quickly. The biggest downside is that on more than one occasion the printer has been out of ink. Where it gets tricky is when you have to mail a package and interact with the employees, because the team has zero motivation to be quick or efficient. If you're able to get there when there isn't a line, you might have a chance to get out of there quicker, but otherwise just know they will be taking their TIME. To end on a positive note, there is a parking garage - yay!

At the top, or behind the counter, sits a kind and benevolent guru named Guy, who is there for all my and your printing needs. He was patient with me when I forgot to put in printer's marks. When I went to pick up the proofs, he brought me behind the counter and into the printing room and his computer to show me why my particular design would have cropping issues. He patiently sent me back to the drawing board and happily emailed me to tell me when it was time to come back for attempt number two. The prints look great. I can't comment on the prices because the boss writes the checks not me, but Guy is great to work with. I know his phone calls will make me laugh and his prints will make me smile.

But, with some trade show ahead of me, I had to whip up a nice identity branding for myself and had only 2 days in my hand. Came to Yelp and found Dun-Wel and discovered an amazing individual called Guy! In one sentence - Guy is an absolute straight shooter, friendly, knowledgable, helpful and holds your hand into something that he does best - printing! He not only educated me with biz card design formats but also adjusted my digital asset, all for an incredible affordable price. It was an urgent job and he had me covered. Now he is my PRINT guy! All my print campaigns and company product sheets are going to him for sure. If you are in the Lakeview/Ravenswood/Lincoln Park area definitely go to Guy. And if you can drive to him, Dun-Wel should be your first attempt with anything to do with printing.

I was able to give her a proof of concept to develop the unique paper print and she turned it into a forever treasure that is hung up in our home .

Every once in a while I do a search online to see if there's one I should follow on Instagram, because I love buying cards, and I like to support small businesses, so that works out pretty well, right? I've searched for letterpresses in Chicago more than once. More than once in the last couple months, even, when I was trying to decide where I wanted to purchase my holiday cards. Somehow I've only come up with one or two, and Starshaped Press was not one of them--though I live less than half a mile from where it's located. I lucked out and found Starshaped two days before their annual open house. Perfect timing. The studio is in this really awesome Art Deco building that of course I've seen in the neighborhood but have never had reason to enter. We got there right at noon so we could beat the crowd, and Jen was a gracious host. She had samples of her work out, consisting of pieces decorating the studio as well as prints and cards for purchase. (I ended up spending... way too much money). She also had delicious cookies for us too! She was so open to any question we had, and showed us how the press worked. She had set up many examples of the letterpress dies set in various designs, and they are so incredibly intricate. There may be hundreds in a single print of all sizes. I loved seeing those set up with an example of the pressed item next to it. Starshaped Press also has a print club, which is a subscription service where you get printed goodies from the press on a monthly basis. There are a few different options so you can choose based upon your budget. I signed up for the print club and will get my first this month (January 2022), and can't wait! It was suggested that I might want to get my own holiday cards printed at a letterpress--perhaps Starshaped Letterpress--and I find that idea quite intriguing. Review 641 - January 23, 2022 22/2022

Terrible customer service altogether…read more I went in, expecting to send a single letter overseas and the service to be done in 15 minutes because there was no line in front of me and the clerks took 35-40 minutes. And despite my writing everything in neat handwriting, they still managed to mess up the address TWICE and my NAME which is not long and easy to spell. And they still asked the content of my envelope three times like they are foreign objects. Just admit that you cannot read cursive letters and ask for me to spell it out. It's OK to ask instead of wasting my time. I ended up being late to my other commitments. NEVER again.

Illegal charges…read more Called to ask (rang 30x before answered) if I could print out a label using my UPS account in the store. Was told yes. Arrived at the store and asked which computer I could use to login to my account to print the label. Logged in and printed label. Attached label to package and handed it to the kid behind the counter. He says it's $1.22. Didn't even realize he was talking to me. So person who answered the phone made no mention of a fee. The kid who told me which computer I could use to print out the label made no mention of the fee. No sign next to the computer making any mention of a fee. When I hit the print button on the computer screen, it made no mention of a fee. It is their job to make the customers aware of a fee beforehand allowing us to decide if we still want to use this service. A woman in the store at the same time said she wanted to use the fax machine. She was immediately made aware of the cost, prior to using this service. CHARGING ME AFTER THE FACT IS ILLEGAL. What prevents them from charging me any amount they want. Should've taken my package and left. The amount charged is not the point.
