You have probably walked past Metro Colour many times and never notice its existence. Along Bethnal green road just after T-bar but before Beach Blanket Babylon, a door in the brick buildings on your left. They print everything and anything and if you have an alternative idea they will try to see how they can make it work! I had my final year written portfolio and reports all printed and bound and subsequently use them each week for proposal prints outs and for business cards. They are extremely well priced and good quality. Make sure you take things on a PDF file as it makes it much easier and quicker! Subsequently you can have photographs printed and mounded and t-shirts. The people who work at Metro Colour and extremely efficient and helpful and willing to explain. The Boss Ray has many years experience and can tell you interesting facts about printing 20 years ago!!

The firm has been in business since 1996 and Copy Express is still run by the same owner, Steve Staples, who in fact joined the firm as a business partner in 1997.

I am so in love with Moo…read more I first used Moo last spring to order a box of mini-cards. I can't even begin to describe the excitedness I felt when that first box arrived. The cards came in this cute, recycled plastic box and I was truly impressed by the quality of the cards. At 100 cards for $19.99 USD, it's a great deal. The cards arrived on time and (5-7 business days) with no tracking number. You only get a number if you pay for express shipping. Later when they developed business cards, of course I had to order a box! These cards were of the same quality as the mini cards but even better in my opinion. I've already been through 2 boxes and I can say that a lot of my friends were really impressed with the cards too. Business cards come in packs of 50 for $21.99. You can also order 200 cards for $69.99; for both, you can use up to 50 images. You can have printing on both sides or just one side. This past Christmas, I really wanted to design my own cards and decided that ordering them as Moo Postcards with my photo on the front would be the perfect way to go. I used this photo: http://flickr.com/photos/aliciagriffin/2873420246/ for the front and then used rubber stamps on the back. Again, they were perfect! (Postcards come in packs of 20 for $19.99 or 60 for $49.99 and you can format the back however you want.) Moo also prints stickers and regular greeting cards but I have not ordered either product. I have never had a problem with my orders from Moo and I find their website is very user-friendly. I'm extremely pleased with their services and am very satisfied. I love being able to hand off a unique business card that stands out from others and that really shows off who I am and what I do.

I've ordered products from moo for the first time ever. Being based in germany, i have relied on…read moregerman companies for my contact card printing needs. However moo has some great variety on cards, like the mini mohawk luxe card which is 600gm^2 - so it's quite thick. Before i ordered my cards they shipped a sample pack free of charge to check out the quality and diffrent types of cards which was an amazing service. The process of ordering is quite simple and straightforward, just takes a few steps. Pricing, Production and Shipping time is fine too. The cards come in very nice packaging and the quality is just awesome. I didn't expect any less. Superb colors, the card feels amazing and i will be happily giving them to my customers. I will be uploading a picture of my cards to give a good example of those luxe mini cards.

With the onus placed firmly on providing a professional, efficient service at reasonable prices, Kopykat can do pretty much anything you'd need of a printer.

Highly recommended.

These guys were prompt on getting me a quote and handling the quick turnaround time for my project. I was happy with the quality and though I paid a bit more for my 6x4s than I had budgeted, it was worth it. Though I can only speak for A3s and A6s, I would think these guys could handle most print projects handed to them and do them well.
