I use these guys for printing the newsletter of my dog breed club. We have a quarterly newsletter that gets printed on tabloid paper, stapled and folded down to 8.5" x 11". Some of the pages are in full color. We print the rest in black & white to keep the cost down. These guys are fairly quick, and they're certainly inexpensive. They do a really good job for me. The stuff arrives by FedEx in my driveway. I pay with a check by mail after they invoice me. They are NOT open on weekends, and I respect that. It is a small company, and they have to get some time off! I have left messages on the answering machine after hours, and they have called me back. I've never actually been to their place. I'm on the other side of the state. I work with them over the telephone. I send PDFs to their FTP site, and call to confirm receipt and ask/answer questions. Communication with them is a bit difficult. I get the feeling they don't want to stay on the phone long. So I keep my conversations with all of the personnel very short and to the point. If the PDFs I send them are in proper order, there's not much to talk about, anyway. The one thing I cannot understand is the many company names and web domains that they use. I know them as Screaming Gnat Studios Printing & Design Services (screaming-gnat.com & see company logo above) but they also go by Quote My Printing, Lemon Tree Photographics, 19 Cent Color Copies and Specialized Printing & Graphics. If your file is 20MB or less, you can probably get away with using your web browser to transmit it at: http://www.quote-my-printing.com/upload.asp If your file is larger than 20MB, if you have several, or if you want to be sure your file will get through the first time, there are FTP instructions at: http://www.screaming-gnat.com/upload.php You can use a free FTP client such as FileZilla. Sorry for all the extra detail about the file upload, but my advice will save you a lot of trouble. These guys do all sorts of printing and graphics functions.

Phase 3 Graphics - This is the Screaming Gnat. - Printing Services Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

What can I say? These guys are awesome! They offer a local service that beats most every other print shop on town. Recently I was looking for a small run of cards(100) other shops quoted me 3 days to order them because no place locally could do quality business cards. Plus they had a minimum of 250 cards that I really had no use for. A bit of "Yelp Fu" led me here, where not only could they print just about anything you could want at whatever quantity you need, they also do it quickly, three hours in this case, and with quality every bit a high as the products you have to order from larger printers. The price, while it's not as low as vista print, it's competitive with the other shops in town and they offer you something unique, not just stock designs you can throw some words on top of. read more

My colleague was in town for a conference, and desperately needed to reprint some press materials. I called from LA, spoke to Chris who was incredibly helpful, sent the files via email and they got it done for under my budget, including delivery to the conference hotel before the end of the business day. Aces in my book! read more

I love these guys! As a small business owner I am always looking for the best deals possible. I also try to support Michigan based businesses, as I am a Michigan based business myself. I am able to accomplish both of these objectives with Screaming Gnat. They are easy to work with, fairly priced and produce great results for me project after project. I discovered Screaming Gnat after the owner spoke as a guest at an entrepreneurship class I was hosting and I decided to give them a try. I have not regretted it! read more

Screaming Gnat does a great job with printing quality. Their customer service, on the other hand (with the exception of Blanca), is below-average. After they acknowledged a mistake on printing envelopes, they overcharged printing services for the rerun, justifying the additional expense by stating that I held up the process! If they had ordered the correct paper to begin with, there wouldn't have been a delay. Their follow-up to email correspondence is slow. The owner was rude and dismissive of me. The manager is equally difficult. Not sure they have ever heard of customer care. I've spent over $2000.00 with this organization and taking my business elsewhere. read more
