Printing on 5th Avenue - My 1854 branded T shirt. - Printing Services Near Me - San Diego, California

How am I supposed to support a local business when they did not even allow me to step a foot inside even tough the door was "open"??? I was just trying to learn about their services. The man inside shot me off by saying they only print business related orders. Well, I do not have a business but I sure can use a printing shop. You know that question "Can I help you?" which sounds more like "what the heck are you doing here and you were not supposed to bother me." This did not seem a friendly neighborhood printing shop that I can go to when needed. Don't expect smiling faces here. Pass, next!!! 0 star. Recommendation: Practice and learn costomer service. read more

My husband and I designed all of the stationery and signage for our wedding, and looked at other competitors (minted, Kinkos, etc.) for our printing needs. Printing on 5th quoted us at much lower rates and offered to show proofs of our designs on different types of paper (we're particular) before moving forward. They provided us with exactly what we were looking for with a quick turnaround, sometimes even the next business day. Their hours are a bit tight for working people, but other than that, I'd definitely recommend them for all your printing needs. They're a local small business that I'm happy to support! read more

Chris was so awesome! My husband and I were preparing to get married in the UK and at the last minute decided that we wanted to have a handfasting ceremony. I ran over to printing on 5th to inquire if they could make us a handfasting ceremony certificate. Chris explained that they don't make single copies of anything and are more of a commercial printing company. I showed him a few pinterest images and asked he could make an exception and he said he'd make one for us. Over the following 2 days or so, he sent proofs for me to look over and make changes as I saw fit. In the end, it was perfect! We appreciated Chris taking the time out of his busy scedule to accommodate such a small project for us. It means a lot and says a lot about our neighborhood small business printing shop! Thank you so much Chris! read more

I've used Printing on Fifth Avenue in the past for my architectural needs. They are a standup group and the ownership has always been very good to work with. I would recommend them to all. BTW: giving one star reviews for someone's so-called political stance is shameful and disgusting. read more

I have been looking for a local print shop for years and this place is incredible! I had some business cards printed here and they were done fast, cheap and to an incredibly high quality. I have also referred several people here and they have also enjoyed the same high-quality service. If you are in the Hillcrest, Northpark, Downtown area and need printing done look no further. This is your place. read more

My boss needed some flyers printed real quick to start advertising a new group we were putting together. I emailed the digital version of the flyer we needed printed, along with the number of copies we wanted, and received an email response almost immediately from Manny, the owner. He asked me a couple of clarifying questions, then emailed me a few hours later stating that they were ready for pick up! Awesome! I was super impressed by how quickly the job was completed and let him know that the soonest I could get there was about 15 minutes before closing. When I arrived, the staff was really cold - No "Hello, how are you" or anything like that. I let the lady that acknowledged me know that I had an order for pick up but she apparently did not have any idea what or where it was. A guy came out from the back office area stating that he would take care of it, put my flyers down in front of me, said, "That'll be $53.", took my CC and stapled my receipt to the invoice slip. That was it. I said, "Thank you!"... nothing. As I was walking out, I said, "Have a good day!"... again, silence. Talk about awkward! Five stars for the amazingly fast and high quality work, minus two for the grumps in the front. read more

After a great experience I had a few months back, I decided to give them a try on a few dozen T-Shirts our HOG group needed for an upcoming Fall Ride and shirts ,invoices,cards, and even my small business plumbing company work truck decals. I was teamed up with Chris and he designed us a great logo for the shirts,cards,truck,and invoices. I have had shirts printed over the years at places in the East County and had a few bad experiences. I am happy to tell all my buddies that Printing on 5th is the real deal. The quality could not have been any better and Manny was a joy to work with. He also rides a Harley! For me to take the time to write two reviews about a printing company on my busy schedule is tough since it's been a few weeks but I think they deserve 5 stars on what they did for us. The price was fair and the quality was really good. Helmets off for Manny and his Crew at Printing on 5th! Thank you for all your great help and wonderful work helping local small businesses get going and thrive and grow. With out everyone's help there helping me I would be using cheep and unprofessional products . Thank you printing on 5th and the great crew Manny has !!!! read more

Absolutely horrendous customer service. Manny is incredibly rude and is so adamant to remind customers just how busy he is with other more important projects. I understand that our projects are usually small, but they're important to us and we need quality projects. It's disheartening to try and use the printing company that is closest, only to be constantly reminded why I shouldn't bother. He doesn't even respond with full sentences, he states how many more larger and "more important" projects he has, and he pressures you to tell him immediately whether or not you'll go with them. I've had much better luck at another company that is downtown, so not in my neighborhood of Hillcrest, but they're helpful, kind, can do rush projects that we occasionally have, and always have great prices. It's a bummer Printing on 5th lacks the professional service one looks for. read more

My husband used this business before and he was very pleased with their work. We will definitely recommend Printing on 5th Avenue

I have had the pleasure of using Printing on 5th numerous times. The work is always perfect and delivered on time no questions asked. I would highly recommend Manny and his crew for any printing job large or small read more

Do not have any work done here. They do not know what they are doing. The facts: -terrible business hours -rude on the phone -printed my wedding invitations off center and then said they didn't see anything wrong with them -offered me 25% off a reprint even thought it was COMPLETELY their mistake -I offered to repurchase the paper if they would reprint them for me without charge, the response was "absolutely not". What professional printer prints something off center? What business person refuses to correct their mistake and offer and apology for not delivering on their services? What business owner allows a customer to leave their shop utterly dissatisfied and offers no solution to the problem other than making them pay again? Printing on 5th does! Go somewhere else, they will mess up your order and then blame it on you. Do not take the chance of being treated horribly, you deserve better! read more

I needed some business cards printed that had to be sent out due to some custom requests. They originally thought it would take a few days but notified me the next day that it will be a week. I mentioned to them it can't take any longer. I was told to pick up on a Thursday so I sent someone in to pick up on a Friday. Turns out they didn't even send it out yet. I got my refund and went down the street to another printer (Sign King). This other printer had to send it out as well but was able to turned it around in 3 days and I'm very happy with the quality of the cards. All at a lower cost. Another issue I had was that Printing on 5th advised me that the size of my font would not work. I reluctantly changed my design to accommodate the printers capability. When I went to Sign King, I decided to go back to my original design and their graphics designer replied to me by e-mail minutes after I sent him the graphic. He approved my design and immediately forwarded it to the printer. The cards with the smaller font turned out to be perfectly legible. The folks at Printing on 5th were courteous and seemed like they wanted to work with me but their actions, or lack there of, makes me question if they ever really wanted my business. read more

RUDE. I called Mannie and he directed me to the email. We exchanged emails and he could not explain some details in the email. Easier on the phone. So I called all humbled and asked as a total layman on the issue and he cut me off in a f rude tone and I felt so embarrassed I hung up the phone. Forget this place. read more

I like to check for quotes with this company instead of simply going to big competitors. Sometimes the price is markedly lower, sometimes not. However the quality and timeliness of the service is always great. You can email to get a quote and product done as well, which is very handy. They respond to emails fairly quickly -within 4 hours or less. Knocking a star because some services seem overpriced relative to other work and not everyone who works there is what I would call a "front of the house" person. read more

Thank you printing on 5th for making my wedding prints perfect for our big day! I decided to check this place out as it was fairly close to my house and from the start they were so helpful, giving me ideas, accurate pricing, and options. I was able to communicate and send over items to be printed via email so I really only had to go to the actual store when I stopped by to inquire and when I went to pick up. They printed several photos that I needed turned into 8x10, 1 20x30 sign for rehearsal and 2 26x36 signs for the actual wedding and they were ALL perfect! So happy with the final products! Would highly recommend them to anyone needed wedding signage! read more

The company that we normally use for printing our fliers are closed during the Holidays. We needed to get 100 fliers printed on the same day and Printing on 5th was able to get them done in less than 2 hours for a reasonable price. They were quick, professional and efficient and delivered a quality product. I will definitely use their services again. read more

If you hate the Hillcrest Kinko's (or even if you don't) there's a lot to like at Printing on 5th Ave. For one, I paid 6.5 cents per impression for about 700 pages (compared to 9 at Kinko's). For two, they will print from your PDFs, so you can e-mail them files and then come pick up your documents, so you don't need to make two trips for full service copies. For three, because it was digital printing rather than copying, the quality was way better than my experience with the self-service machines at Kinko's. My results were mixed on turn-around time. On the one hand they offered to have them the same day I ordered. I wasn't in a hurry, so I said the next business day was fine. I decided to try to pick up in the morning of the appointed day while I was out running other errands. When I arrived, it turns out they had a question about the paper I wanted and had called my land-line while I was out. So my order wasn't ready and I had to come back later. If I could take half a star off for the confusion/inconvenience, I would but I didn't think it was worth a full star. On the whole, I highly recommend the place. Especially as a small local business, relative to the other big chain option in the area. Also, these guys don't just do digital, they do offset for bigger jobs. read more

I love, love, love Printing on 5th Avenue! They have never let me down. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful... truly the best in town. I will forever be a returning customer and will continue recommending them to everyone I know :) read more

There are not enough words to express how thankful I am for Chris and Nancy. I've been working on a book and printing copies at home on my own. After the seventh book (three cartridges later) I knew I needed some help. I started shopping around and got different answers each time. So I decided to put the project on a temporary hold. Enter Nancy and the Printing on Fifth team. Turns out she handles all printing jobs for the restaurant where I work. When I told her I was working on a book and needed help, she told me to stop by the shop. She even brought Manny by the restaurant a couple nights later and I was able to chat with them for a couple minutes. Truly some of the nicest people I have ever met. I've spent hundreds of hours formatting this damn book so when I finally nailed it, I saved it to the thumb drive, gathered what printer paper I had left and headed to the shop. Nancy was extremely warm and welcoming, asked questions about what I had in mind, and then partnered me with Chris who was going to see the project through completion. Now I know how big of a pain in the ass this entire process can be, so imagine my dismay when we plugged in the thumb drive and the entire formatting was off. Margins, line spacing, fonts, everything. Just as I was about to call it quits, Chris went through with me and helped me fix everything. And i mean everything. He quickly became a pro and even caught errors my eyes had missed. His patience through the entire thing was extraordinary and deserves five stars alone. After a few trial prints, we worked out the kinks and agreed on a final format. Though it looked slightly different than the original design, I left the shop feeling confident. One more visit a couple days later to ensure the book was printing the right way and i was able to give him the green light. It's Monday and I have in my hands 12 perfectly printed books, ready to be folded, hand sewn, and bound. And it wouldn't have been possible without Chris's help. The job was fast, efficient, and EXTREMELY affordable. I will return to these pros for every print job I have for years to come. Support your local printer and take all of your printing needs to the team at Printing on 5th!!!!! You will NOT be disappointed. read more

Every time I come here my projects are done beautifully and in no time! Chris is very talented. I wouldn't go anywhere else! I got invitations made for a party recently and all of the Envelopes printed with the addresses and he added his creative touch and I was thrilled! read more

Printing on 5th Avenue - Working hard and fast!! Love Chris's work!! - Printing Services Near Me - San Diego, California

Ask for Chris - he's seriously the best. I got my wedding invitation (custom reception cards and add'l invite inserts - made a fold-out card super cute and organized looking), thank you menus and ceremony programs here. Great price and service! My advice tho is to go knowing what you want. Because at any store, the ppl working there aren't mind readers. It's your job to tell them what you want, so they can better understand your vision read more

I'm a small business owner and prefer avoid franchises whenever possible. I've ordered business cards twice now from Manny and have been very happy with the quality of the work, turn around time, and the price. I was accidently overcharged for my last order, but everything was corrected with no hassle at all. I also really like that they can print off of a PDF file. I'm not terribly graphic savvy and don't have the expensive programs that other printers want me to submit my work in. I've needed some tweaking (my fault) with the two orders I've submitted, and they were done by Nancy quickly and at no charge. They save me time and money.... two things that are important to me. read more

I've had several printing projects completed at Printing on 5th. Manny and his staff have always been helpful and responsive to my many questions. The jobs have been done properly and in a timely manner. I work for a family owned business, so as often as possible, I like to give my business to another locally owned business. I have not been disappointed with the quality of the work or the customer service at this establishment. On another plus side, they are located in a nice, quiet area of Banker's Hill. I love the drive to their shop! read more

This place is incredible! They helped saved our wedding invitations from the dreaded Stinko's. The people there were super helpful and totally know what they are doing! I will refer anyone and everyone that has any printing to be done to come here. Fast, affordable, and friendly. Five stars all the way! read more

I can only review but AMAZING work from Printing on 5th. I needed a next day printing (t shirts) so I called them to see if they could get the job done and they said YES! Chris was so helpful, he sent me proof before printing and literally had the job ready in 24 hours. I would highly recommend them! Great service and amazing job! Thanks guys! read more

Our company recently changed our logo design, which meant we needed layout & printing of everything... Business Cards, Letterhead, various sizes of envelopes. Manny was extremely helpful and made sure everything looked uniform. He even hand delivered about 20 sheets of the letterhead for us to test out in our printer before printing the full order. Great Service!!! Highly recommend!! read more

I used to use Printing on 5th all the time when I worked for a larger design firm. They were courteous, fast and willing to do all kinds of unique jobs. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that level of service extends to the rest of the print-needing population. Recently I called and spoke with Manny, the owner (see his positive review below) about a simple job I needed. I didn't say who I used to work for, I just assumed I'd be given the same great service. Wrong. I was told that my job was too small and he wouldn't run it. I could understand if my job was too small and I had to pay a minimum fee. However, that was not the case. I was simply told "no". I definitely won't use Printing on Fifth again even if it means I have to deal with Kinkos. FYR, the extra star is because I have called and talked with Lisa (see other favorable post below) and she has always been positive and helpful. Ask for her if you do call for a quote. read more

Manny was a bit patronizing in his answers to our questions. Also, the price for business cards is apparently two or three times higher than Kinko's. Too bad, as we would have loved to support a local business. read more

The service here is great! Manny was very knowledgeable and was able to have my printing needs turned around in 24 hours. I will come back for all my printing needs. read more

These guys are great! I've been going to them for years for my business printing and they always come through for me. The quality of the printing is top-notch and the service is incredible. Thanks to Nancy and the whole crew for taking such good care of me! read more

Whether you're looking to print a small or big project, this is the place to go! Manny is AWESOME - very prompt and accommodating, and delivers excellent results. read more

We had some marketing materials printed for our Real Estate office's grand opening party. We printed 100 front back magazine finish color copies and 40 double sided post cards on coated card stock. To start off, the price was about 15% less than Kinkos price. AND, you don't get handed paper and have to do it yourself at a copy machine (which usually results in making mistakes and driving up the price even more!!) I highly recommend Printing on 5th. Support a local business that does an excellent job and still beats prices of large competitors. read more

I recently made use of Printing on Fifth's services to produce tickets for my company's annual holiday party. Communication back and forth via email was quick and easy. Didn't have any issues getting my art to the printer and had the great-looking product ready for me on time at a fair price, as promised. Couldn't ask for much more - 5 stars! read more

Manny is a great guy. Like working with him. He does not have the cheapest prices, but he does good work and my printing came back on time. I will use his service again. read more

Manny and Chris printed my wedding invitations this fall and they were beautiful! So many compliments and I really love paper goods. They guided me through the process, options and constraints to ensure high quality without unnecessary spending. Chris worked quickly and patiently to help with my mad dash to the big day. Thank you both!! I'll be back in soon! read more

I discovered 2 days before a huge networking event that I'm out of business cards. I phoned Printing on 5th in a panic and asked if they could accommodate a rush order. Manny (the owner) answered, very friendly and definitely helpful. He asked me to email my image right away and he would personally get back to me with a quote. Within a few minutes, I had a quote and confirmation they would be able to complete my order in time for my event. I phoned my payment in the next morning and picked up my order within a few hours. Absolutely saved my "networking" behind! The cards look great, high quality, friendly service and fast. I couldn't have asked for better service. I will definitely send my future business to Manny and the crew at Printing on 5th! read more

They are always great to my company and I! Quick turnaround for posters! Nancy is the best! read more

Manny & his team are always, always knowledgeable, professional, easy to work with, helpful, speedy and oh yeah, they put out a great product. I worked in the personalized stationery industry for 9 years, so I promise, I know. On the very rare instance in 9 years when they made 1 single mistake, it was fixed INstantly and I still got wonderful product, right away (discounted to boot)! read more

I used Manny & his team this past July to print wedding invitations I had designed for a friend. Their service was fast, willingly used the paper stock I had brought from Kelly Papers and when I received all of my invitation components cut down and shrink wrapped, I literally squealed with delight. Fast, professional and quality. I hadn't even inquired about price and was pleasantly shocked at the value for cost. Having struggled through nights of Kinkos while I was studying graphic design at the Art Institute, I only wish I had discovered Printing on 5th before this summer. I highly recommend this business. read more
