So far as…read morethe service it offers go, there's nothing to complain about, with the standard copy and print options available. And they provide a special service for dissertation printing to help alleviate the stress of getting it done on campus. But when it comes down to it, alot of this can be done at home now, meaning its unlikely that I'd be wanting to travel to the outskirts of Brighton's shopping districts to get anything printed... Handy if you live in the area and are printerless.

Four Corners is hands down the best print agency in Brighton…read more A small company nestled between Seven Dials and Preston Park, it's run by a team of dedicated professionals who know everything there is to know about ink and paper. They've produced stunning brochures, flyers and posters for everyone from The Big Chill to Drakes Hotel and their speciality is Responsible Print. As well as liasing directly with local and national printers they trust, they offer a range of recycled papers, vegetable oil based ink and the capacity to view and offset any CO2 emissions caused by your print job. Running a graphic design company - check out www.bonnieandclydedesign.com to see our stuff! - I'm always on the look out for reliable and cost effective printers and was blown away by the quality at Four Corners. So far, they've printed a brochure, a fold out guide, a press pack and cardboard pom pom makers for us and every single item was top notch.

I walked in to Clarke's Stationers this morning with 100% confidence that they would have…read moreeverything I needed to create my arty homemade Xmas cards. Red card- check. Glitter glue- check. Gold and silver pens- check. Will my cards look like they were made by a 5 year old? Yes, probably, but at least they will be made with love and quality stationary from Clarke's! Clarke's is great- its one of those extremely satisfying (if you're a stationary geek like me) shops, nay, emporiums, that stock EVERYTHING your little stationary-loving heart could desire. I had to make a hasty exit before I started buying completely unnecessary items like rubber stamps and embossed card sets! If you need card, coloured paper and envelopes, diaries, or arts and crafts supplies, this is the best place I've found. Downstairs they have a massive collection of pens and other standard stationary items. Upstairs they have all manner of coloured and patterned paper and card, as well as sketch books, watercolour paper and huge (A3, A2) sheets of backing card. So whether you fancy embarking on an arty project, or simply need a pritstick, Clarke's is the place. They also have a photocopying service available.

I've always loved stationary stores. Clarke's in the North Laines is a big one, with aisles upon…read moreaisles to look through. Oooh, paper. Of course, the shop offers more than just notebooks and loose sheets; there are organisers and planners, large and small calendars (including a grippy wall calendar!), binders and diaries. Arts and crafts supplies are also available - this is the first place I've seen pipe cleaners in ages. Common art supplies like coloured pencils, oil paints, canvases and here, along with craft projects like paper mache kits, knitting accessories and a variety of felt and fabric pieces for make-your-own crafty ideas. There's a copy centre on site, which is handy, and although the prices are a little higher than some chain budget stationary shops, Clarke's does offer a 15% student discount when you show your student card. I'll probably be back for term two school supplies.

If you're visiting Brighton for a few days and want to take a bit of the seaside away with you,…read moreforget filling your pockets with stones from the beach. They're too heavy and they'll make your suitcase smell really salty. Instead, go to Zoing Images and treat yourself to a photo printed onto canvas. They have cool images of the pier, the amusement arcade, the the seagulls, the West Pier and lots more. All the images are available as mini canvases or triptychs and they also offer a service where you can get your own photo blown up as art. If you don't fancy a print, they also stock wall and desk clocks, perspex blocks, photo books and an impressive range of Polaroid and Lomo cameras. Personally, I'm after the limited edition, Jack White Lomo. Anyone got a spare few hundred dollars?

If I lived in Brighton I'd finally get good at using my lomo camera. Know why? Zoing Image…read more Why doesn't London have anything like this? Just spending ten minutes in this small, friendly shop last week browsing through the piles of arty photo books, impressive range of Lomography cameras and accessories and mini canvases for printing inspired me so much I dusted off my Holga as soon as I got home and have been snapping away with renewed vigour ever since. Imagine if it was my local camera shop! Oh, the money I'd spend... On my way out I congratulated Serge, the owner of the shop, on his choice of stock and particularly the use of mini canvases for customised printing. Instead of paying £50+ to get one image put on a medium canvas, get a series of three on smaller canvases for less than £20. Since finding Serge on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/34875369@N08/) I've discovered that the shop was primarily opened as a way for him to sell his own images, but allowing people to get involved with their own photos is a great idea. I foolishly didn't think to ask if they do regular printing in the shop and the website is currently under construction, but next time I'm in Brighton I'll take along a few medium format films and see what Zoing can do for me. A shop like this is yet another great reason to spend time at the seaside, hurrah!

A great personal and helpful service, I'll be coming back.

For about two weeks before term started, I popped into Sky Computers every day or two and spent an hour or so getting all my essential internet admin done...banking, booking train tickets...facebook, y'know, the important stuff! :) At first it felt a bit weird using an internet cafe in my own town, but I got sick of dodgy wireless connections in pubs and I didn't want to carry my laptop around, so Sky was perfect! The rates are reasonable and the guy that runs the place is friendly. They also have printing, photocopying and faxing facilities. I didn't use the 'cafe' and to be honest I think that was probably for the best.

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.

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!
