Flash Print has often surprised and delighted me-- going above and beyond my expectations and even my hopes. A few months ago, for example, I brought in a foam core poster board to ask IF they could cut some small amount off each side...the only shop that had told me they could definitely do the job was quite some distance away. The Flash Print tech on duty kindly said she believed she could do the work, since the poster was not too thick/dense-- and she did! Which saved me *hours* of traveling that day. Another time, I brought in a page or two to be copied-- and was not charged, even though another kindly staff person did all the work-- not me. And once, FlashPrint was the only copy center open when I needed some copies made. ...Also, each time I've gone in (even when Halloween was not in sight), there's been a bowl of bite-sized treats for customers to take one free: a sweet treat for completing some bothersome task, so I've felt happily *rewarded* for being productive, too, on leaving their shop...in fact, my tummy always leaps for joy, in anticipation, as I've headed down the stairs and seen the bowl of treats awaiting me. So Thanks again for EVERYTHING, Flash Print! read more

They're awesome. Super high quality responsive affordable. Did a great job with our movie posters. They do all the posters for the Somerville Theater. Super recommended. Thank you!!! read more

They're a great print shop. They have my master copy there and all I have to do is call and they'll print my forms up.

Love these guys!! My company uses them for all of our printing needs and has for years. They always take time to understand what we need, and it's insanely impressive how fast they turn projects around. read more

Robert and the team helped out with a small post card job. It is great that my expectations are exceeded. They have * friendly and service * big selection of paper stock * quick proof and speedy delivery * competitive pricing Thanks! read more

Flash print is very reliable. Derrick is very straight to the point, no nonsense but very helpful and efficient and great price! Might want to work on customer service friendliness. read more

Derek was great - walked me through process and was helpful in corrections. I had a "rush" job that was done on time and well executed.

Kim and Alan are excellent. Kim is extremely detail-orientated and makes great recommendations for our printing jobs. I highly recommend this team! read more

I called several other printers and no one was able to help me. I spoke with Alan and ended up bringing my job to him. Alan and his team were personable and very helpful, getting my job done very quickly. Quality work at a very reasonable price. I will happily recommend Flash Print in Cambridge and will definitely be using them again! read more

I recently needed a document printed and went to a major name in Harvard Square. For the third straight time I visited the store I was essentially ignored and left without what I needed. A quick google search led me to Flash Print and Kim. She was outstanding. She asked me to email the document and within minutes her colleague was at the counter handing them to me. There was no charge and she gave me a folder to put them in. So grateful for the experience and I promise to do all of my business there going forward. Thanks again, Kim. Chris read more

I brought my holiday card drawing to Flash Print, Kim had my proof in a day and 100 printed by that evening! Excellent service and communication, quality printing, and very fast. No nonsense, fair price, just what I needed. Highly recommended. Thanks, Kim! read more

They did the job but with zero customer service and rushed me out. I chose them for their expertise and helpfulness. Unfortunately I will go elsewhere in the future. read more

I highly recommend Flash Print. Flash print is fast and as flexible and patient as the job allows them to be. How quick is Flash Print? Well I put in an order Sunday, when they were closed. They had a booklet ready for me by Monday 4 pm. Incredible! I'm not even super special or anything, but their quick turn around sure made me feel special! 50% of the time we get same day delivery! I am an annoying customer. I'm the type of customer that has all these demands and orders at the last minute. I'm the assistant that runs between the big boss and the printers with changes and scrapped ideas. You know what? Flash Print deals with me and gets the order done and delivered. Their customer service is straightforward and while they usually bend over backwards with my orders, they are not push overs, which I really appreciate. The delivery dude (Seymour) is so friendly and my office appreciates his weekly stops with our orders. Thank you Flash Print!!! Double thumbs up for all the work you do! A tip about ordering is to be as specific as possible in your order. If you are picky like me, talk over the phone or meet in person about how you imagine your order to look like. In addition, they may be fast and can get orders done in a squeeze, but it is always a good idea try to provide them with a cushion. read more

I am based in NY and had a print emergency over the weekend and unfortunately most print shops in NY are closed over the weekend. I had plans to visit Cambridge for the day that Saturday and I thought I might as well try print shops around there to see if they were open and able to help. Flash Print was the first print shop I visited and they were the only print shop I needed to visit. I told the guy running the shop my printing situation and he was very helpful and was able to help me 100%. It was so refreshing to get amazing customer service from a small business like this one. Thank you Flash Print for helping me out and for being a great Vendor. I absolutely recommend their service to anyone who needs printing service. Thanks again Flash Print! Brielle Mallano read more

I have used Flash Print for many years, both for my employer (Harvard University) and for my own home. Their work is consistent, careful and very fairly priced. Particularly memorable are a print I purchased online to have printed there, which turned out so well that I spent a great deal of money to have it framed, like I would any original artwork, as well as family photographs that were somehow rendered beautifully crisp and glossy from rather poor Instagram posts. Thank you, Kim and colleagues, for your excellent communication skills and friendly atmosphere. read more

Flashprint did all of the printing for my wedding in September -- "save the date" postcards, invitations & reply cards, place cards, programs, signs, and thank you notes. Everything they printed came out great, and the staff were really helpful... and they were really patient when I completely messed up the bleed/crop guidelines (oops... they have very clear instructions on their website and in brochures at the store, so you don't make the same mistakes I did!). When I had my program printed, they even printed extras on colored paper as a little wedding gift! Great service. As long as I'm in the Harvard area I'll be doing all my professional printing here. read more

Great company. I've had excellent work done there. Good prices and easy to use. You can send your work there remotely.

I came in last minute to print some business cards before leaving for a conference. I had no design, and no ideas. Kim helped me design a card, accepted a couple of revisions via email and still had them printed by the end of the day. Unbelievable service, great price. read more

We had a wonderful experience with this business, I highly recommend them! My department at Harvard, had a rather complex and involved work project: involving binders and several important and confidential documents for an upcoming conference. Not only did Flashprint provide all of the supplies, they also copied and compiled everything. I worked with Derek, who was patient, thorough and professional. He explained each step of production and the team at Flashprint exceeded all of our expectations - even though they had to deal with edits and changes from us up to the last minute. They provided 2 samples of the work before final printing so we knew exactly what to expect and the work was flawless. They delivered the work early on Friday morning (ahead of schedule and in the middle of bad winter weather). Thank you Flashprint for your service, patience, professionalism and exceptional work! read more

OK, so, I find myself frequently having the need to print up 20-50 11x17 or larger posters for a side project I'm involved in... usually with very little notice or lead-in time, a day or less. I usually use Staples, not happily but because I just assume big box stores will be cheaper... until NOW. I roll up to the Harvard Square Staples with a USB drive of dreams and full DAY of advance time. Kid (who is apparently on some unfortunate combination of Dayquil, THC and lithium) tells me they can't take my files, the soonest they can print 20 11x17 posters would be 4 days from now. His manner, both languid and surly, enrages me, and I leave. I yelp nearby printers. I find Flashprint. There I find a reasonable and intelligent human being, a human being with whom I can do business. Yes, he can make my printouts in time. Yes, he can give me a test print - no, two test prints! Yes, he can even deal with an annoying last minute fix I had to make via their online upload system. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. And, it's less money than Staples! My eyes were all buggin out of my head -positively- like Jim Carrey's in the Mask. NEVER AGAIN STAPLES. Flashprint 4-eva! read more

Top notch printing, fast, efficient. Super busy so don't expect much small chat. When something is questionable, they'll call or email and proof it.....And they have Kim...Stupendous. read more

After having awful experiences at Gnomon and UPS, I have been so happy and grateful for Flash Print. Yes, they are speedy and the quality is great (like real speedy, made me postcards in under a day and they're beautiful), but most importantly they are respectful and kind when I have questions. If you upload something online they will check in by email on whether you want to go check out a proof or just print it. The emails are short and direct but don't mistake this for curtness or being rude. They are just trying to get folks their prints in a timely way while also offering the option to check out the proof. read more

You're a student. Time means everything. So does money. Flashprint is cheaper than its corporate neighbors in the Square (and depending on what school affiliations you are, they might give a discount like 6 cent copying!) It's hard to find though: tucked away on the basement level across from Pete's. read more

I've printed a variety of files here and have always experienced very fast turnaround times. The staff is not always friendly, but they do get the job done. read more

I just want to raise caution here. While I'm sure this business does a good job with printing needs, I'm writing to express concern about an experience from earlier this afternoon. I was walking on the sidewalk down Mt. Auburn St. and was approaching near the Flash Print driveway and the driver of this business' delivery vehicle started to curse at me and use every expletive, saying that I was in his way. I didn't realize that I was, so I moved, but this employee/driver was unnecessarily threatening. I went in to the building and expressed concern to the manager who was apologetic and said that he has received complaints about this employee before and would address it, but this experience still isn't sitting well with me, so I want to warn others to be careful when dealing with this threatening employee. read more

Quick, professional service. What more can you ask for in a copy/print shop? I uploaded my book to be printed & bound at around 2am and it was ready for pickup by 10:30am. They are on top of their stuff here. read more

Not the friendliest staff. You need to ask the right questions to get the information you want, which can be difficult if you don't know much about print quality, paper stock, etc. That said, they know their stuff. And they're FAST. Flashprint is a very apt name. They can turn around orders same day, and I've never had a job take more than 24 after I've approved it. You can count on them to come through if you're on deadline! read more

My custom-designed wedding thank you notes were a complex job (bleeds, scoring, and premium quality). I am delighted with both the process and outcome. I worked with Rob and he was both patient and helpful with the proofing process. Both proofs and the final product were produced same-day (60 units). The Flashprint team works well together. read more

I went to print tickets this morning and whom ever was on duty was completely useless. He had no name tag on and when I couldn't print my tickets he couldn't help me. Nothing seemed to be working and he attempted to try and about me for less then one minute and seemed like he had interest in wanting to help me. Won't go back read more

Don't go anywhere else. They're professional, courteous, FAST, problem solving, and simply the best. Both me and my boyfriend are artists and we decided to not go to the big companies (staples, kinkos, office max/depot, etc) to get our wedding invitations printed. I found Flashprint through yelp (and because of their location) and I was not disappointed. When my boyfriend first saw them he exclaimed "MAN! They're SO GOOD!" Definitely top of it's class. Thank you Flashprint! read more

So my parents just retired (they were teachers) and I made them a scrapbook with messages from former students. I wanted small (7 x 5") but it was going to be big (200+ pages), and most places don't do that. Flash Print does that, and pretty much anything else you could want. AMAZING prices, VERY high quality... but what stands out even more is how wonderful they were before I placed my order. I had a million questions (yes, I counted, 1 million) and they were beyond patient! Very knowledgeable, friendly, happy to help. Lost track of how many emails we exchanged but I could not recommend this place more highly. The best of small business! read more

I contacted Derek, requesting a proposal. After providing the specifics of our job, he responded with a detailed accounting of what the job would cost. As I am located in California, and our conference was scheduled in Cambridge, I would be contracted with him, sight un-seen. Derek provided several testimonials which I did follow up on. The company provided an effective and efficient way to upload files (we had 60 separate documents as part of a large binder). Any questions, Derek emailed me. The finished product's quality was top notch. The final cost was very close in price to the initial estimate (no hidden charges or surprises here). We will use again when we return to Cambridge next year. I highly recommend. read more

All businesses should be this reliable, efficient, friendly, and cost-effective. Yet another great experience with FlashPrint. Echo previous reviewers noting that they not only produce great quality, but they also catch (my) mistakes and advise before printing. Six stars, please. read more

I came in with a last minute rush job to print my wedding programs and they came through like champs! No problem at all and they looked great! read more

Amazing service. Very helpful and clear in explaining their pricing and requirements for printing. Super quick: turned over my order of postcards in an hour. read more

I really couldn't recommend these people more highly (particular Alan, the owner). I have given them multiple print jobs that were difficult because of the paper type - after having multiple issues with orders at other printers. Quality and expertise is always 100%, their prices are right, and their customer service couldn't be higher. A++. read more

Everyone behind the counter seemed slightly crabby the morning I went, but maybe that was on account of Harvard students who couldn't find their claim tickets. I just had a simple digital print job. They did it in 5 minutes while I waited (whereas Staples had taken 2 days). The quality was great and the price was totally reasonable. I will definitely go back. Especially once Harvard lets out for the summer. read more

THEY DELIVER THE BEST EVERY TIME. The superb accuracy and experienced advice that ALL the Flashprint folks provide is incomparable. On several occasions, I have not had all the final files for a grant proposal or an executive level, complex handout until after I'd told them I would upload the file. Their communication is direct and responsive, so that EVERY SINGLE TIME, the print jobs are FLAWLESS. Thank you SO much for preserving a commitment to the highest quality. read more

These guys are AMAZING. I came in last minute with a fairly complex order and they turned it around so fast. They seriously saved my life and were super nice and patient while doing it. read more

Incredibly poor service. Manager was rude and threw postcards away when I mentioned quality was bad.
