Simply put this is a great place to get your work printed. I participated in a printing promotion here recently and I was not only impressed with the quality of printing, but by how much nifty paper options they offer. Ken is great, as is his studio biped Leandro, and studio quadruped, Super. You'll like your time here and most importantly you'll like the way your work looks. Pro Tip: Don't go there if you don't love an awesome, leaning dog who likes to be petted, and shamelessly promotes his desire for same, while you're waiting for your prints to come out of the machine. read more

I have used Ken Allen for 3 projects. There were issues --mistakes/reprints, "forgetting" to complete detailed finishing--on 2 of the projects. A total flame out/ professional suicide on the third. The results were fine enough--despite the clear mistakes-- that we tried Allen a third time on another museum exhibition project. We found him to be helpful-- if salesman-y and ingratiating. The process was fairly straightforward--until the day of scheduled delivery. Late that morning we were notified that approximately 12 dye sub aluminum print panels were NOT installing as scheduled. When prompted by the client that finished panels should be fedexed and install would be taken care of separately we were informed by a 2 sentence email: "They are not printed. Unfortunately another source should be found." DAY. OF. INSTALLATION. No explanation. No apology. No return phone call. It is the most astounding--verging on creepy-- instance of professional dereliction I have ever experienced/ read more

I am an artist and Ken has printed several projects for me in the past couple months. I was looking to build a relationship with someone for a couple bigger upcoming projects and thought Ken was that person up until recently. I placed an order for two dye sublimation prints with him after we met in person and I reiterated in email the instructions for the project and attached the files directly to that new project email. When it came time to pick up the prints, I discovered that he had printed another older order accidentally. He checked our email correspondence on the spot and acknowledged that he had made a mistake, suggesting that in the future he needs to find a systemized way of accepting incoming files. Since I had already paid in full previous the the pickup, we went through a series of potential scenarios in person for handling the mistaken prints and moving forward, but I decided that I would rather not move forward and asked for a refund. Ken has been slow to address my concerns and has not offered to refund me in full (a 30% refund was received) for his mistake, despite the prints being unusable for their intended purposes. I would say that up until this point, Ken seemed professional. But his lack of willingness to accept responsibility for his mistake and to offer a full reimbursement makes is difficult to want to recommend him to anyone moving forward. Over the years, I have worked with a handful of other NYC-based companies such as Beth Schiffer, Griffin Editions, and Duggal and have never encountered such inflexible negotiation and hands off approach to problem resolution. read more

Ken Allen Studio did excellent work for me, best printing quality I've seen anywhere. He gave me very personal assistance and showed me his entire studio. My 3D Lenticular work requires printing with the highest quality settings of extremely high resolution images, otherwise the lenticular lens magnifies the smallest error in the alignment of the printer. Ken Allen's printer is perfectly aligned and produced excellent lenticular prints. He also managed to squeeze my jobs in when he was very busy with other work. It is a very clean studio with plenty of space to work. They also do die sublimation printing onto various materials that have a much more durable surface than other digital printing methods, so the prints can be mounted without glass to protect it. read more

Ken is great! I began getting him to do my prints earlier in the year. Not being a photo tech head I would often find it intimidating to go to a printer, they would talk a kind of jargon that made me feel like an amateur. Ken is just the opposite. He takes time to talk you through the process in a way that makes you understand and gets you interested. Taking time to find what you're looking for and helping you get there if you're not totally sure yourself. He does a quick turnaround, conveniently located for Williamsburgers and has always made my pics seem more alive than I thought they could be. Keep it up Ken! read more

I've dealt with a lot of labs in the city and most either don't seem to know what they are talking about or don't have the time get it right. Ken is the exact opposite. He always takes the time to get it right and he knows his stuff. His knowledge, dedication and attention to detail are second to none. This is the only place in the city that will ever get my business for printing because it is the only one that is at the level that I and my clients require. read more

I started using KAS a few years ago, when I needed to find a better place to do top quality scanning and difficult spotting on a large backlog of artwork. After a shootout with two major Manhattan studios KAS won hands down on calibre of work, and at a very competitive price. After a while there was a good opportunity to try the studio out for printing as well, on a gallery show. The quality bar was set high, and the nature of the work makes it very hard to print properly. But again, Ken and his staff delivered. Ken has tremendous technical knowledge and color sense and that's a huge bonus in getting the most out of any image, whether you're working directly with Ken or with a member of his studio staff. He's also an honest, fair person to deal with on a business level. I don't do all my fine-art printing at KAS (no wet chemistry processes), but there are now whole bodies of work I would hate to ever have to print anywhere else. read more
