I had the best, easy and fast experience with Fast Imaging, I just had to leave a review as soon as I picked up my order. I set my heart out on this creative galentines day project to order custom stickers for my bestfriends. I had about 35 sheets and hundreds of designs (and I'm so low tech so I wasn't sure about the quality or the photos I was using or anything. As soon as I contacted the store after searching yelp, I spoke to Mandeep and this woman is so sweet, so professional and courteous. She took her time to walk through my vision. I thought something like this would take atleast a week to get and she turned it around in 1 day!! I came in the day before to make sure the sizing was correct because each sticker was different and she even waited for me after the store closed while I went to pick up my son from school first. They've made a forever customer out of me. Good vibes, attention to detail, clear communication and executed!!! I'm so excited to gift these to my friends read more

Fast Imaging Center - Stickers - Printing Services Near Me - Alameda, California

What a fantastic find! I searched for a place to have printed a book of testimonials with color photos in a "perfect" bound book. Found nothing in San Francisco that could do it. How could that be? After a few referrals, I was lucky enough to call Fast Imaging Center, who did the job in one day and the result is, well, perfect! And for a reasonable price too. Thank you Mandeep, I am looking forward to having you work on my next printing project. read more

Oh my how Mandeep ALWAYS comes through for me on all my last minute work project needs. From my very first experience to my most recent order with her a few days ago Mandeep and her team are always professional, very fast and efficient every time. I don't know how many times I have called 30 minutes to closing or needed a big project done in one hour notice and she has never told me no or that she can't do it. She sends proofs to you and is willing to go back and forth until you get your desired edit. From posters, to invitations to A-frame signs and more she does it all. I appreciate her so much and her team. She runs an a good business, customer service is spot on and she knows what she is going hence her other amazing reviews. Thank you Mandeep!! read more

This business really helped me out in a pinch. I needed to print out a set of square photos for my photography class. I came in at the ninth hour and they were able to access the images from Google Drive and print them out. The quality was nice and I didn't have to pay too much. It was like $10. I asked them to cut and trim the photos but they said there would be a charge. So, I just went down the street to Kinkos and used their free paper cutter. It would be nice if this place had a computer center to work on projects. I had to sit on the counter and use my laptop. Eventually, I went next door to the Hawaiian food spot to work and then came back. Still, this place lived up to their name - Fast Imaging! read more

Anytime I've ever used their printing services, they do a great job printing with professional quality, respond quickly when contacted, have reasonable pricing and courteous staff. Have had programs for a funeral done printed there and also event invitations. They are one of the best printing places on the island! read more

Good people to work with on a project. Very patient, professional and experienced in what they do.

Inder and his wonderful team always provide exceptional service for our acupuncture clinic. They are super easy to work with, extremely professional, and the quality is outstanding. Inder has made many things for us included tri-folded brochures, sandwich board signs, flyers and posters. He always gets the job done earlier than promised, too! read more

I'd give these ladies 6 stars, if possible. They are super communicative, reliable with attention to detail that escapes many service businesses these days. For someone who is always printing on the fly, I love having Fast Imaging of Alameda in my back pocket- they've completed jobs for me within a matter of hours and always treat me like I am their only customer. read more

Families can make you crazy. I won't go into the gory details, but I needed a lot and lot of important documents copied asap. Not only did I need them copied, but I needed them copied in a specific fashion. And the documents were a mess. So I was more then stressed when I entered Fast Imaging and saw they were quite busy. However, when I talked to Mandeep Kaur and told her what I needed and why, she told me she would personally handle everything and could start immediately. She was wonderful and I instantly relaxed. After copying the first few pages, she checked to make sure everything was being done to my satisfaction. She also checked on the originals since they were old and fragile, to make sure they were being copied correctly. Mandeep went above and beyond to assist me. She was kind and helpful; and you could tell that a quality product and customer service are important to her. I have used Fast Imaging before and their work has always been spot on. We used them to make a poster and invites for my mother-in-law's birthday. The person who helped us with the poster really improved the look of it. It was a big hit at the party. We have also used them for other services and they have always been prompt and reliable. So if you're wondering where to go for copying services when your family drives you crazy, remember Fast Imaging. read more

See all

Every year, I produce an oversized (13"x19") photo wall calendar for my family. For 20 years, I took it to a binder in San Francisco, but unfortunately he retired at the end of 2019 and closed the business. This is the second year that I have taken the calendars to be spiral bound at Fast Imaging, mostly because they were the only outfit that didn't just tell me it couldn't be done. Last year, they didn't deliver when they said they would (at least a week late), I had to ask more than once for hanger holes to be drilled so the recipients could hang their *wall calendars* on the wall, and I even had to bring one of the calendars back because it was bound out of order -- which they blamed on my negligence. (I didn't argue because they rebound it at no charge.) This year, anticipating untimely completion, I delivered the calendars (with order double-checked!) on Nov. 29. I finally got them back on Dec. 14, a week later than promised, because they initially forgot to drill the hanger holes (even though they wrote it down and apparently remembered me from last year). Do I detect a pattern here? I won't even touch on the pricing, which increased a whopping 50% over last year. Even pandemic inflation can't account for this. I don't like to write a negative review, but as a professional with my own business, I know that when you promise a client something, you do it. Either that or you resign yourself to customers who don't come back. My 2023 calendar will be bound elsewhere. read more

Inder really took care of my family and I during our time of bereavement. He was able to complete a last minute obituary program job, consisting of 200 pieces. Additionally, he adjusted the template, making it more presentable. I could not have done this without him! My family and I are forever grateful to him and his employees. read more

Best service, Best quality, and Best price. That should cover it all.... but in case it's not clear, don't waste your time at any other print shop, Fast Imaging is really the BEST! I've been using them for over 6 years now with several different businesses, they have NEVER failed me or missed deadline. And there have been several occasions where my deadlines were very short. Don't waste your time with any other printer, it doesn't matter if they're a small local printer or a large chain, I've used them and Fast Imaging runs circles around them. read more

Very very pleased with Mandeep and Inder's hard work. We started a new business and they did all our banners, signs, logo, cards, stationary... everything. THey are very professional and get the work done super fast. Mandeep created the most beautiful logo for us, we get compliments on it all the time. She is super knowledgeable but at the same time so down to earth. Inder helped us with putting all the banners - he is very prompt and made it to our office (which is almost an hour away from their business) before 7AM. We can not thank them enough for their services. They are very hard working and their prices are very very reasonable. We feel blessed to have found such wonderful people who we can call our friends. THank you again and we look forward to working with you in future. read more

Favorite print shop of the Bay Area, hands down! Mandeep is super knowledgeable and makes every order easy and fast. I usually email her my file and get the docs printed same day. She also just calls me immediately to clarify anything, highly responsive! And their prices are super reasonable for great quality of finished product! My #1 choice every time! Covid-specific: They set up a safe pick up so you have to wait outside the store. Of course with mask on! Support woman-run & local businesses! read more

What a gem in our Island of Alameda. This is by far one of the fastest printing shop in the planet . Love the Fast Imaging team and how good and friendly they are ! Amazing peeps for amazing results that you can tell right way! read more

I was on a time crunch to trying to get photos printed for a gift and The workers there were extremely helpful. The lady (I think it was the store owner) went behind my expectations to help get the images printed and resized them manually so they would properly fit for my gift! All in all, the job got done in a time my manner and would recommend anyone to try them out. Prices were affordable and better than other services that I passed through before! read more

I get large black and white prints for my art and large quantities of photo copies done here regularly and the team is always super helpful and very quick to get the orders finished. Mandeep is great to work with! read more

Not a friendly place and a total rip off. They charged me a $9.99 fee because they had to open up multiple PDF's. Really? You click them and they open, it's not worth a $10 surcharge. Also, the girl mixed up all my files and I ended up with an unorganized pile of papers. Ended up paying $13 for something that should have cost $3 I don't recommend this place for standard printing jobs. read more

They are a very good business and work hard to make sure you get a satisfactory product. I would use them again.

I've used this business a couple of times already and what great service! Fast, attentive, and responsive to my questions. Plus parking is easy! read more

I had my office store front sign done here. I had a great experience and would do business with them again! I went in to have a larger window sign made and dealt with Zaz. He was kind and very helpful. The entire staff was very friendly and courteous. I had went to the FedEx Kinko's in Alameda and got the "run around" They promised the same sign Fast Imaging would make but proceeded to call me 3 days later saying they couldn't do it and the sign would come in 10 different pieces. Fast Imaging was very fast and provided great service. After letting them know I was a new business they were willing to make a "push" and "pull" sign for free. A great help especially with how heavy our door is! Fast Imaging I would definitely recommend! read more

Extremely rude. She was not helpful with sizing or pricing. It was the older Indian lady. read more

Very professional printing place. I had to print a portfolio for a Landscape Architecture interview and they did just that and beyond by getting it to me within the next day. Not to mention that Mandeep printed it 2 extra times to ensure the booklet was properly put together with the right kind of paper. Definitely recommend to come back here again as I will be doing. By the way, I got the job! read more

Simply cannot recommend this site highly enough. In July, my nonprofit was referred to Fast Imaging Center by the West Alameda Business Association for a very large "boulevard banner." Despite a very short turnaround time, Zaz pulled out all the stops so we'd have the finished product on time. When we needed another banner in October, we returned to Fast Imaging without hesitation. This time, F.I.C. had to contend with several rounds of changes as to design and colors. Zaz's patient and professional service was the icing on the cake of a terrific product. read more

Mandeep and her crew are top-notch! They do great work and in a very timely fashion. They are my go-to shop for all my printing.

love this business, owner Mandeep is friendly, knowledgeable and does excellent work. Highly recommended!

Printing is 5 stars, hands down. Thank you so much you guys. First time having a banner printed, and they did an amazing job with it. We literally submitted the graphic at 6pm and it was done by 11am the next day. I was told that they stayed late past 11pm to make sure the print turned out well and would be dry for me to pick up the next day. SUPER impressed, and appreciated their work very very much. 4 stars only because I wish that the Berkeley branch, which is the place that took our order (they don't do the printing, Alameda does), would have helped us to communicate with the Alameda printing shop better. The lady was helpful and nice in Berkeley but she was relaying the message between the printer and us about where to put grommets on the banner to be hung under a canopy, and the message did not come through clearly. We got there thinking the places we grommetted were ok but the printer there told us he deals with canopies all the time and could have suggested that we marked out where our canopy cover had its grommets so they can match the grommets accordingly. We basically had to take the banner back (un-grommeted), and mark the holes and bring it back to have grommets put in. But since we needed the banner that very next day, we decided to just live with it as is and used binder clips. Will probably measure it out properly and bring it back. If we had known that the Alameda folks could have just communicated directly with us, we all could have saved on a lot of time and energy. Anyway, will not hesitate to use this print shop again, but would probably go straight to Alameda instead next time. read more

Fast Imaging Center - Loved the long banner in the back of our booth they did for us. And they practically did it overnight. Thank you!! - Printing Services Near Me - Alameda, California

Had a somewhat rushed work project - the boss wanted to do Kinko's but I chose Fast Imaging instead after reading their reviews...like a previous poster noted, you pretty much deal with the same folks here, as opposed to Kinko's where it's a revolving door of different personnel, which can lend itself to miscommunication and lots of errors. The Fast Imaging folks provided constant feedback and the job was done for half the cost of the Kinko's quote. The boss was impressed!! My husband uses them also and we will both definitely be back for future jobs. :-) read more

Fast Imaging was quick, friendly and affordable! I can't thank them enough! Mandeep helped me print out some stickers same day and did several proofs to make sure everything came out alright! Not only had about 6 other local print shops told me that they couldn't print simple circle labels...but the few that could said I'd have to buy my own label paper from office max/a paper store OR it would cost over $400 for only 20 stickers. Great service! read more

Our business has been coming to Fast Imaging for about a year now, and they have printed thousands of our high quality 20-page offset-printed catalogs (see https://issuu.com/fleximug). Mandeep at Fast Imaging has been a huge help in making sure that all details of each order are taken care of. They are very responsive to custom design requests and changes, and their turn-around time is second-to-none. We go to Fast Imaging because we know the job will be completed right the first time. I expect we will be working with them many times again in the future. Thanks Fast Imaging! read more

Ive been using Fast Imaging for 5 years or more now. Ive seen them grow from a one person operation to a bustling print shop with hundreds of products and options for your printing needs. Fast Imaging always finds solutions for you. Thank You fast Imaging for your professional and friendly service! read more

Fast, friendly service at affordable prices.

Great service and turn around. It was easy to work with them and I'd use them again. They have two options for vinyl stickers- die cut and strips. Save some money by cutting the sides yourself. read more

Mandeep and her staff are super helpful and very responsive. They can do most orders within 24 hours. They got an 8ft banner out for me in a day. They reply to emails quickly also and transfer files via email with payment at pickup so don't need to make 2 trips out to Fast Imaging. read more
