Most Mailboxes Etc are pretty accommodating. I walked in this morning to an empty store and two…read moreworking attendants. Needed a last minute print job done (11x17 paper poster ) - nothing fancy - just 6-10 A3 posters. There was no one in there. No customers in line. No printers running. 2 working attendants. Completely silent. The attendant who attempted to help me looked visibly annoyed "because someone didn't show up for their shift" and immediately told me in a smug voice - "you can leave your usb drive here and we ll print it. But I don't know when it will be done. We re completely backed up. We ll call you." Me: how long do you think it will take? Attendant: *rolls eyes* - I don't know. The job is very simple and only took Brighton Print Centre 2 minutes to complete. Because MBE was "too busy". There WAS no one in there! Wtf. Lol. I could literally do the job myself. Open file. Select format. Print. Brighton Print Centre took they're time, with phones ringing, and two people in queue to quickly print it out for me. I'll give MBE two stars cause I genuinely use the service worldwide and maybe the attendant was having a bad morning. But still.. a £6 job now cost me £20 cause I had to take an Uber to a more accommodating shop.

Staying on a vinyl tip, I don't think there's anything better than recieving a new album or two…read morethrough the mail. I regularly buy old or re-issued albums labels like Light In The Attic and always feel over the moon when they arrive in brown hardback envelopes marked Don't Bend. The problem is, it's tricky sending albums to other people when it's so damn hard buying 12" mailers. There used to be lots of stationary shops selling stuff like this but it's now a case of either buying a case of 50 online or going to Mailboxes Etc and shelling out a couple of pounds for a solitary one. As you might have guessed, Mailboxes Etc is not the cheapest place to buy padded envelopes and mailers. They do however, have a big stock of different sizes ones alongside bubblewrap, sharpies, poster rolls, stationary, sellotape and big packs of paper. I go there every now and then and am grateful they're still going but god damn, their prices are high! For those with deep pockets, they also do digital printing, faxing, packaging and courier services.

Bullit Couriers are the local service we've used for a while now and we have no complaints. There's…read morealways someone friendly to answer the phone and even an email to tell you the package arrived safely. The best part about it is the price though which is as little as £5.50. The best mark of a good courier is their client list, and Bullit's include Adecco and BUPA international.

It only took them one trip. They unloaded everything within 45 minutes. Very polite, careful and friendly. I highly recommend them and no doubt I would use them again (if ever moved houses again!)

The team at Genie Design and Print are absolutely amazing and completely wonderful. Our exhibit…read morebooth was held in customs for days therefore we were without for a conference in Brighton. We contacted Genie and within less than a day they printed 2 banner stands for us and a stand-up piece for our table. The quality of the work is outstanding and their quick turnaround was truly appreciated. Pricing was very reasonable especially given the urgency of our need. We are very happy we found Genie and they took on our project, without hesitation I might add. If ever in Brighton and you need quality, professional services by a team of very friendly people, Genie is your place to go!

It's not surprising that there are a number of flyer and poster printing companies in Brighton…read moregiven the social and creative scene here. If you're looking to promote something of your own, be it a party or a workshop, Genie is a great place to get your printing done at a very reasonable price. Everything from leaflet, business cards, flyers, posters, business cards and even magazines can be done here. I've ordered one of their packages before: 5000 A6 flyers and 250 A3 posters for £135 with free delivery. It was a very quick turnaround and very good quality. They also offer flyer design services from just £25 a low volume business cards, get as little as 10 printed!

They don't just print photos but run out artwork and fliers and will do you a good deal on large orders. They deliver too which is really handy but if you need to wait, The Basketmakers Arms is just down the road! Last time I was in there, they were just printing a load of Jordan's publicity prints off, they made her look great so they must do a good job!

If you read my review of Vivid, you'll know that Brighton is full of printers, and I reckon that…read moreVivid do the best quality work. However, if you're looking for cheap, cheerful, and nothing too fancy-schmancy, Colourfast are just the people to go to. Tucked away in the North Laine area, Colourfast specialise in bulk printing jobs, and have a very reasonable price range. If you need lots of something, at perfectly reasonable quality, Colourfast are the place to go, or have them deliver to you! Where other printers in Brighton are little shops or boutique-y style places, Colourfast is definitely a business. Housed in a warehouse in the North Laine, it is clear what Colourfast offer: reasonable rates, good on bulk orders, the simple and easy way to getting a load of stuff printed. I've used Colourfast a few times for last minutes orders, as they are exceptionally quick on the big orders as well. Basically, this is the place to go if you're printing thousands of something: they'll do it quickly, you won't pay through the nose for it, and the quality will be fine for an order of that magnitude. If you want something more arty or refined, Vivid's the place to go. These are the two best: everywhere else in town either charges too much, for worse quality, or is nowhere near as dependable and reliable.
