Ignore the 1-star guy.... They're awesome! I needed to get a 30"x40" poster printed for a work project in North Calgary so I hit up Staples as I always do. Unfortunately, this time, Staples really dropped the ball. The print came back pixelated and full of compression artifacts. What a waste of time. I decided to e-mail a dozen print shops across Calgary to get an idea of price, print quality, and to find out whether this size is even available elsewhere.... I sent the e-mail at 2:48PM and Alyssa at Printwise responded back at 2:51PM with all the information I needed. AMAZING! The only other print shop that responded to my e-mail was Calwest later that day (someone by the name of Al Visram who simply said to call him in regards to my questions and that they'll basically charge $80!!!!) Haha. Are you kidding??? Printwise, on the other hand, only wanted $55 and Alyssa already gave me the answers I was looking for via e-mail. Nice customer service though... "call me!" *ahem* ;) Anyways, I uploaded my poster as an e-mail attachment and gave them the go-ahead for 1 copy. Again, they were quick to reply that they've submitted the work order. Then, a few hours later, they sent me another e-mail letting me know it's done and available for pickup at my convenience. JUST BRILLIANT! When I went down to their store in-person, the staff was very pleasant an--WOW the poster turned out better than expected!!! 10/10!!! TL;DR: Printwise seems like a small contender amongst the larger print shops in Calgary but they certainly shouldn't go unnoticed. They can produce a quality product at a competitive price. And their e-mail response time is just impeccable! Printwise is certainly worth the drive from North Calgary. Shoutout to Calwest, Digital Post, Apache, and Print Three for ignoring my e-mail. And of course lets not forget Staples. Today Printwise came out on top! read more

Printwise is great! They are attentive, responsive and we love the final product of the business cards we ordered. We wanted something unique and got everything we wanted. Thanks Printwise! read more

Owner freaked out when we parked in his parking spot while we grabbed a coffee to go. He was caught letting air out of our tires and then pushed and swung at my friend. He was very aggressive. Never doing business with them. read more

Do not bring your photos here to be drymounted. They do not have a vacuum press like you would expect a commercial operator to have. They used 3m spray glue and in the process got glue/fingerprints all over the photographs. They tried to remove this from the photo with water and PAPER TOWEL scratching and ruining the photo finish in the process. The pictures were bubbled and unusable by the time I made it home. I managed to remove them from the backing but they will likely need to be thrown out. They acknowledged that they wrecked the photos and didn't charge for the backing but now I'm left with $100 of free backing full of glue and $400 of unuseable prints. After discussing this with the owner, zero compensation was offered. I can't comment on the quality of prints as I had them done elsewhere. read more

They are absolutely awful! They don't even earn one star!!! I went here to have them print one colour sheet. The first thing I asked them was how much it'll cost me. They gave me a quote of $1.20 ($.99 to print plus $.20 for cover stock paper). So I was shocked when they told me I owe them almost $6.00 when it came time to pay!!! I asked them why it's so much higher than a quote and they said it's because there is $3.99 charge for printing from digital file! I asked them why they didn't tell me that when I asked them how much it'll cost to print, they said, "well, you asked how much it'll cost you for a colour copy and you didn't say it was a digital file." I was in front of them the entire time while they print my file and they didn't think to tell me this??? When I told them that, they just told me "well, what do you want to do?" Wow. This is low. Even for a small print shop! Needless to say, I'm never going back to them and hope they'll go out of business soon!!! Don't go there! They'll rip you off!!! read more

I was really disappointed with my experience here. I had to go in three times with my booklets because they kept saying they were confused as to what I wanted. They printed them wrong the first time, so the next day I had to go in and I ended up missing my first two classes (i'm a student) to deal with their mess. They kept telling me there's extra charges for the things I wanted (i've dealt with many other print shops and i've never been charged extra for those services). The guy up front treated me like I didn't know anything and was giving me zero sympathy for my awful experience. Many tears were shed in my car from dealing with this place. I had the same order printed at Staples two days later and it only costed me half of what Printwise charged me and the product looked just as good. I appreciate the amount of time the girls up front put into my booklets, but when I came in one said "it took us two hours to figure out your booklets," like she was trying to make me feel guilty about it. So unprofessional. In my opinion, if something is printed wrong the first time, there should be no charge for having to have it printed the second or third time. Especially if their mission is to: "we will bend over backwards to deliver on your needs. Whatever it takes, we will try our best to help you". This situation was very poorly handled on their end. read more
