Greenwood, Phinney Ridge

Incredible customer service and a beautiful final product…read more Vishal was so great to work with. I had put in an order online and he immediately reached out to me to ask for a better version of the image. He personally walked me through how to transfer a high quality image so that the picture would turn out clean and crisp on the canvas. I could tell that he takes pride in his work and only wanted to deliver the best product. I couldn't be happier with the end result. It EXCEEDED my expectations in every way. I highly recommend working with these great people for your printing needs. I'll for sure be back.

Somehow the quality has gone down, while the prices have gone up (no free shipping for orders over…read more$100, for instance). Several months ago I ordered a large framed print of a high resolution digital image (65 MB) that I bought from/off of alamy.com. The saturation was inadequate, resulting in a print that did not match the intense coloration (sapphire blues and deep orange yellows) of Van Gogh's "Starry Night" (MOMA). Then a month ago I ordered a smaller canvas print. The colors diverged wildly from the original digital print, almost different hues for the sky. The image is blurred, as if some photo-mechanical problem had occurred in the production process. Furthermore, there is a conspicuous fold in the lower left where the frame bar had creased it (see photo). This was quite careless on the part of whoever either stretched the canvas to the wooden bars or packed it. For the price I paid for a single image, I could have bought a nice coffee table art book with plenty of high quality images. Very disappointed. I contacted the owner but never heard back from him. ***** Where to go? Northwest Fine Art Printing? Moonlight?

People at the FedEx counter (831 NE Northgate Way Seattle) were pleasant, knowledgeable and…read moreexpeditiously took care of matters. Nevertheless, I have downgraded my rating to only four stars, because, before going to this service center, I had called the main FedEx number for information about it (although after hours). Try calling FedEx, main number, you'll see what an off-putting experience this is. The outmoded responses to phone inquiries are infuriating, and, in this era of AI, inexcusable.

Absolutely the worst junk people working at a desk. I came to pick the order up. Damos or old…read moreglasses guy took my id to get my order. Then he asked for the order number which I did not have as I ordered on Canva. Old glasses guy started yelling at me rather than helping for no reason, he did not want to help me and started servicing the other client besides me. I told him to chill out, I'm a client he is an employee don't give me this attitude. Today I visited your FedEx Office location to pick up an order under my name. I walked in, gave my ID, and started giving my order number. The employee kept asking me for the number even though he had already been holding my ID for about two minutes. The email from Canva clearly states: "1. Tell a storeperson you're collecting a Canva order. 2. Bring this email as proof of purchase. 3. Orders are held for 30 days." I showed the email, but instead of helping me, the glasses guy gave me attitude and started raising his voice, getting nervous and impatient. I told him calmly to chill out -- I'm the customer, and his job is to help, not scold people. Then another employee, Casey, jumped in and immediately became verbally aggressive. He raised his voice, put his hands up in front of me, and escalated the situation for no reason. It got to a point where I felt the need to start recording just to protect myself. As soon as I started filming, Casey said he wouldn't give me my order while I was recording and went to the back of the store. I kept asking for the manager's name, number, and for my order so I could leave. After I stopped recording, Casey finally came back out, asked for my name, and handed me the order. Turns out the order was already under my name and didn't require any number at all -- meaning I was yelled at by two employees for absolutely no reason. This behavior was unprofessional, hostile, and completely unnecessary. I'm requesting that this incident be reviewed, and I would like the store manager or district manager to contact me regarding appropriate action so situations like this don't happen to other customers.

My mom recently returned from a trip to see her family in the Philippines. She brought back a very…read moreold family photo that was very dear to her because it was one of the only pictures of her and her father together, as he died when she was two. It is a larger picture, probably 12" x 24". It looked like it was a family photo originally taken in black-and-white in the mid 50s and then later painted to be in color. It had a lot of water damage and looked like someone had tried to decorate it with stick-on "jewels." I wanted to restore this picture for my mom, so I did some research online and Moon Photo came highly recommended. Moon Photo offers both digital restoration which they will then print up for you on high-quality photo paper or will delicately restore the original picture by hand. We chose digital restoration as it was cheaper. My husband met with them for an initial evaluation and estimate of the work. He felt the artist was informative and experienced, with a reasonable price and quick turnaround. Moon Photo completed the job earlier than expected and did some amazing work. For a small extra fee they even gave us the digital restoration file on thumb drive. I can't wait to give my mom this picture and I would definitely recommend them.

Dropped off four disposable cameras on Monday and received the photos earlier than the estimate! We…read morereceived the photos back on Saturday. Drop off was easy and quick. Staff were friendly. Highly recommend supporting a local shop!

Loyal Heights, Ballard

I have searched high and low for the best print shop for my artwork, and I can tell you that Color…read more1 is, hands down, the ABSOLUTE BEST. 1) The prints are color true; and actually, this is the only shop - local or chain - that has EVER met this most vital criterea. As a professional artist, I need prints which will be exact duplicates of what is hanging on a gallery wall. While I hate putting anyone else down, I feel like this is too important to tiptoe around. If my computer file of my work is exact enough in color, contrast, and resolution to use on the cds I send to galleries to consider for shows, that file simply cannot be some ink-bled, dark blob (as is often the case everywhere else); it needs to run true in every way...and Color 1 has got this covered, regardless of the medium of the original, how many colors, or how complex the variation. 2) They have three beautiful paper choices for your work, many different ways to format depending on one's needs (border, no border, etc, and they're happy to help you through whatever you might need), and an extremely professional end product (board or foamcore backing and plastic bag come with the print, and I can't tell you how much stress that relieves for someone like me, who tended to shy away from prints because, before Color 1, they seemed to need so much extra work before they are ready to be sold in a gallery setting). 3) ACTUALLY AFFORDABLE. I cannot stress this enough. As an artist with no steady form of income and very little money more often than not, just knowing that I could run to Color 1 with what little I have in my pocket and receive a beautiful, absolutely professional print to then resell ... well, let's just say that I am never afraid or nervous to spend even my very last cent here because I know that these prints won't let me down. 4) Carl Cooper, the man who owns and runs the shop, is really, really wonderful. Sometimes I go in there not just with my very last money, but also on my very last leg, at my very last minute (ex: the day before a show opening), and in all states of artistic disarray. Carl has always been so patient, kind, and knowledgeable regarding all my strange questions and requests, and I can't tell you how important it is for me to know that this shop is really a place I feel comfortable running to - even without makeup on and a paintbrush holding up my hair! Besides, he remembers me from past visits, remembers my orders, and is exactly what I had always dreamed that a friendly, small shop owner would be in a small town...except that, wonderfully enough, he happens to be located downtown in a rather big city. 5) Thankfully for me, he's located mere blocks away from where I live and work, but this shop is less than a block away from the Pioneer Square Transit Tunnel stop, and, if you're driving, there's usually street parking nearby, or, worst case scenario, you might have to pay a few bucks for an hour in a paid lot. Word to the wise, avoid Seahawks and Sounders game days/nights, and you'll be fine...but then again, honestly, even adding in gas and parking expenses, Color 1 will still total less than a print at even the cheapest of good-ish quality chain printers-even Costco! My pro-tip is this: they're open M-F, and I know it's tempting to print elsewhere on the weekend, especially if there's an impending sale, show, or etc...but, and this has been a hard lesson to learn, it is not worth it. The last time I made the mistake of not waiting until Monday, I literally went to two different shops and spent a ton of money that I really didn't have in order to get two orders that I couldn't/would never use professionally. If you're looking for something right then and there for a sale/order and it's the weekend, just tell your customer that it won't be ready until Monday; not waiting in order to print at Color 1 is a mistake I will never make again. TL;DR - no need to look any further for greatness, Color 1 is above and beyond everything you could've expected or will ever need in every way.

The customer service was great and the product turned out really nicely. I would highly recommend…read moreCarl and his team. They turned the order around quickly in plenty of time for my art show, and Carl took time to show me all sorts of examples and share his thoughts. It was my first show so I was nervous about the investment, but Carl helped put my mind at ease. I made some changes to the original online order and would have liked an updated, detailed receipt for my records, but I also didn't ask, so that's on me. I would definitely use them again.
