Tim did an amazing job printing some beautiful letterpressed business cards for me. I'm so happy with the way they turned out and I will definitely be referring him to my clients! His professionalism, communication, pricing and turnaround were beyond what I was expecting! read more

Quality Letterpress - Thanks Tim! Such an outstanding job!!! - Professional Services Near Me - San Diego, California

I cannot tell you how thoroughly pleased I am in working with him! Tim is the most fun, flexible, reasonable, responsive (and can I just add coolest) vendor I've worked with for my wedding! Before I came to him, I dealt with others in the business who disliked my style and had opinions of their own about what I should or should not do. I absolutely hate that. When I met up with Tim, he was just as enthusiastic as I was and he took all my ideas and ran with it! There were so many things that he did that was out of the way for him. I had my invitations die cut and he literally stayed with the die cutter for hours to make sure everything was going as planned. He updated me on his status almost every day and I got my invites done within a week and a half! He also gave me 15 extra invites! It was so fun working with him, I almost wish the process hadn't end! Such a great guy! We need more people like him in the business. Trust me, you'll love working with him. read more

Tim is a true craftsman. He takes the time to work with you on your design and offer up suggestions on how to make it better. My cards are fn amazing. read more

Took the two-student letterpress class last Thursday night--4.5 hours of non-stop letterpress--I was in heaven! Total attention from Tim, it was a history lesson plus letterpress lesson, he spent so much time adjusting the furniture and getting the spacing just perfect for me--it was fabulous! Totally recommended--Tim is a great guy and a great teacher. (Get the band to come to Hawaii, Tim!) read more

I cannot wait to use Tim and Quality Letterpress again for my letterpress printing. He was reasonable, had a quick turnaround time and even gave me a little tour of the studio. I had him print custom business cards for one of my clients and they turned out beautifully. read more

Wow! What a great experience. Tim was wonderful to work with, and the price he gave me was beyond competitive for the great work he delivered. He was the fastest to give me a quote, had the shortest turn around time, and gave me a great value. He was also really wonderful to work with and understood what I wanted. I'd highly recommend him! read more

I love Tim and Quality Letterpress! I tried to DIY through my wedding invitations and ended up with a big mess and zero invitations 2 weeks before my deadline to send them out. I was lucky to find Tim and he was amazing. He calmed me down, told me everything was going to be ok, and produced beautiful letterpress invitations for me that were more than I could have ever wished for in a wedding invitation in time for me to send them out. Tim took me step by step through the process, made sure I had everything formatted correctly and made sure I had plenty of extras (which I needed) and was beyond accommodating to my crazy wedding brain (thanks Tim!) I love, love, loved my invitations. Next time I need invitations or anyone I know needs invitations Tim will be the first person I call/recommend. Thank you Tim for everything!!

I used Quality Letterpress to print my wedding invitations and they turned out AMAZING. Tim was easy to work with, the turnaround time was quick, and he was so accommodating. I must have asked him a million questions along the way and he was so helpful and responded quickly. It was obvious that Tim really cared about how every piece came out, and they really were perfect. I have had so many compliments on them! I would recommend him to anyone (and have already told friends about him). I will definitely be using him for more projects in the future. read more

I can't say enough about how cool this place is. I really love letterpress printing. A friend recommended Tim Butler at Quality Letterpress when I wanted to create an original invitation for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. The shop is fantastic with antique printing machines. Tim is just nice and warm and chill & funky. He hooked me up with his intern, Emily Yeung, who did a beautiful (and affordable) job designing the invitation. Tim got the job done quickly & reasonably. What more could you want? I brought my daughter back to design her own thank you note using old typesets. Tim even let her run the press herself to print the invitations. He is a great teacher. I recommend Quality Letterpress without hesitation. read more

Tim is absolutely a great printer to work with. When our other printed went MIA, I searched around for letterpress in LA and San Diego. He was one of the only ones to give me a prompt reply and quote. He was able to work his printing magic and print a rush job for us. Even when I messed up on one of the files, he worked with us to fix my error without a complaint or hesitation. The invitations look great. If I ever need letterpress again, I will definitely use him. I 100% recommend him to anyone. Easy to work with, knows the industry inside and out, and was super accommodating. Thank you so much for your work, Tim!!! read more

Been doing design for 20 years & recommend Tim / Quality in a heartbeat. He's my go to guy for letterpress or quality printing. Fast, reasonably priced & extremely skilled are traits that are difficult to find in a service provider these days but Tim's got them all & more. Great work, thanks again. read more

Tim teaches a fantastic letterpress class! Be sure to sign up quickly because spots fill up fast. (FYI, only two people per class session - which is GREAT - because you get individualized attention, no crowds and no type hoarders.) He gives you the low down on letterpress (EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE so come with your questions), he gives you access to his collection of type, ornaments, borders, old logos, designs, etc. (he has loads and loads of drawers) to rifle through AND you get to design your own creation and actually letterpress it yourself! When you come to class be sure to come prepared with an idea in mind - but obviously, be within reason as you don't have a whole day to prep it - because time flies when you are playing with type! You can get lost in those drawers for hours, it's so much fun!! I highly recommend this class! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. PS: Be sure to look for the frog on a bicycle! Super awesomeness! read more

I have only the best words for Tim Butler, owner of Quality Letterpress. The first few that come to mind: friendly, professional, prompt, flexible, genuine, affordable, and caring. The first time I spoke with Tim, he told me everything I needed to know about the process, soon enough we were inside his Letterpress Studio, listening to him talk about the antique machines (OMG so COOL), looking around at all the great trinkets he has, and just plain old enjoying ourselves as artists in another artists environment. Our meeting was simple, we chose ink colors, he laid down the price, we agreed, he told us when our invitations would be ready to pick up, and like I so easily assumed, all went according to plans. Tim is eclectic, he is a true artist who has really taken the time and effort to understand his medium. Not only that, he operates a stunning business. Listen to me when I say, it is ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS IN THE WORLD to find someone, anyone, who is willing to put INK on SEED PAPER. My Fiance and I searched low and high for a company who would print our wedding invitations on handmade seeded plantable paper, and finally found Tim here on Yelp, and within our first phone conversation I knew that whatever questions I had, Tim would be there to help with honesty and class. Tim, if you read this THANK YOU, AGAIN. We could never thank you enough. San Diego engaged couples, you need look no further for amazing, unique, and artful invitations. read more

My mom happened upon Tim at Quality Letterpress while looking for a printer to do our wedding invitations, and I'm so glad she did. Tim was absolutely amazing to work with! The shop is really neat and my fiance enjoyed seeing the machines used for letterpress. Tim was wonderful and very professional, due to a design snafu our invitations had to be reprinted. Not only was Tim willing to work with us on price (so we wouldn't completely ruin our budget) he also managed to reprint the invitations in only a few days. They came out looking beautiful and we are still getting compliments on them! read more

I loved working with Quality Letterpress! Tim is awesome! I had a ton of questions for him out the gate, but he made the process painless and totally put me at ease. My wedding invitations turned out to be exactly what I envisioned and I'm so happy with them! Tim has great input and suggestions. He is super reliable, I completely trust his judgment. He truly cares about his work and that his clients are happy with the product. And he has the fastest turnaround time and fairest prices than anyone else I've researched. Tim also really helped me out when I was in a jam (I had to reprint a piece and he was a real lifesaver!!) and I think that's the type of service you'll find at Quality Letterpress. I cannot give enough praise - such an outstanding experience! read more

Wow. I can't say enough about Quality Letterpress. Tim is the man. He has helped me now with at least three or four projects, including my wedding invitations, and I couldn't be happier with them. The first project we worked on he invited me to his shop, and my mom and I got to check out his museum of awesome, authentic goodness. Each one of my projects hes taken on as his own, and made sure I left completed stoked every time. And he knows his stuff - always willing to teach me something or work with me on colors or overall look so the finished product is perfect. Hes also incredibly business and costumer service savvy - so quick to respond, always prioritizes my jobs and often delivers quicker than I expect. From his ownership of the job to his insanely talented craftsmanship, Tim's amazing at what he does. I recommend him to all my friends and I'll be a forever client. Just don't get too popular, please :) read more

When you need letterpress work done, look no further. Tim at Quality Letterpress is the only place to go as far as I am concerned. My fiance and I had our save the dates pressed by Tim. He worked with us with a genuine care and interest in what we were doing. We were welcomed into his workshop like we were old friends, greeted with a tour and he was stoked to let us look at all the cool stuff he has in the shop answering all of our questions happily. He was in contact with us frequently about the product and we always knew the status of the project. He gave us great suggestions because he wants to help YOU and he knows what he is doing. He even let us come in and press some ourselves. It was an experience we will always remember and we already have plans to go back for more. Tims talent and knowledge are unrivaled. Not only is it the best quality work you will find, but the price is without a doubt unbeatable. Quality work and friendly awesome service. Go see for yourself... Quality Letterpress is the ONLY place to go for your project. read more

Tim from Quality Letterpress is phenominal. My partner and I used him for our wedding invitations and only had a vague idea of what we wanted. He hooked us up with his designer (Judi who is also fabulous) and began work on designing some spectacular invitations. Our initial design was great but needed some tweaking and both Judi and Tim were more than up to the challenge. The work was done quicklty and the final product completely surpassed our expectations. We initially went to him just needing invitations but now plan on going back to him to get the rest of our needed paper products. I would highly recommend Tim for any printing project you may have. read more

I know the other two reviews have recommended Tim for actually doing work for then, but I have just taken a "Intro to Letterprint" class from Tim. It was amazing. I can not wait to take another class. I made the coolest invitations. The only thing I would suggest is attend the class with an inkling of what you want to make. The class was from 12-4, I showed up at 12, we took a tour that last about 25 minutes. Tim explained about all of the different styles of type we could use and then we got to work. It took me about 2 hours to figure out and create what i wanted, then off to the press we went. The class size is super small, just two people and the one on one help/attention was perfect. read more
