I have been called -- The biggest Idiot in Manchester , by a friend of mine yesterday and rightly so ---- read below, as to why (Yes yes I know everyone likes to hear Idiot stories).
My job requires me to get bulk printing done ever so often and I used to travel all the way to the university from Northern Quarter to get those done. Yesterday was one such day when I needed to get 50 flyers printed in color, I was running short of time because I needed to get them printed in a few hours. Like a very smart person I decided to look for some printing places on Yelp so that I can save time instead of going all the way to the university. I found a few places in City Centre (yay) and obviously got excited and set off for my journey. My first stop was U-Print near Piccadilly train station, I walked there just to discover that the place no longer exists (Great, I lose 30 minutes). Then I decided to go to the next one in Edge Street, Northern Quarter right opposite Common (No idea why I did not notice that place EVER) and a very polite gentle man told me they usually take 2-3 days to print things (Lost 30 more minutes). I almost gave up hope and decided to not waste anymore time and call for a cab to go to Oxford Road. While waiting for the cab below my house I decided to look around a bit only to discover that there was Minuteman Press right in front of me (Now you know why I am an Idiot and a BIG one too? ).
I went inside and asked the owner how long it would take for him to print 50 copies, and he asked me to come back in one hour. Once I was back, he had everything printed and ready for me and that too extremely good quality professional prints. I paid 40 pounds for 50 flyers which is a bit expensive but definitely worth it when you see the quality of the prints and the time taken.
Verdict : Hurray! I have a professional printing place right next to my Flat. read more
