Sunset Printshop

This review is only for the smoothies... Read on…read more I've walked by this shop many times and never knew what it was or what they did until yesterday. There was a small table outside with 2 friendly gals asking people if they wanted to try delicious smoothies. I said sure and struck up a conversation. I learned that they regularly make fresh smoothies out of a nearby industrial kitchen. No sugar is added in any of their smoothies. They use the natural sweetness from various fruits such as bananas. Prices are fair, smoothies start at $6 for a small. Yesterday's options included a veggie smoothie with some fruits, so the color was green. The other smoothie was pink, probably from the guava. I also learned that this shop is now a co-op space of different businesses coming together. Great first experience. Hope to try your other smoothie flavors in the future. #3/2023

This review is for the screen printing but I had a delightful smoothie while I was there (and some…read morepassion fruit from the owners' garden that was delicious)! I wanted to get create some t-shirts for my dear friend who was having a major milestone birthday. My husband made some rad art I just needed to find a way to get it on shirts. Rather than go with one of the big online stores, which were honestly pretty dang pricey (and slow) I was hoping to support a local business. Trouble was, I only needed a small number of shirts, and I was struggling to find a place that would fulfill a custom order...and I was on a budget. Enter Amy from Electric Smoothie Lab Apothecary and Print Shop. She worked with me tirelessly to find a way to execute my order, while keeping it cost effective. From ordering the shirts to finding a way to keep costs down on screens and simplifying the art where needed, she was a true gem. The shirts were ready on time for my trip and everyone adored them! Highly recommend them if you need screen printing. While we were there we saw some of the other work they had going, supporting local schools, other fun events, and even custom designs. Excited to see this cool new business grow. Bonus points: Wasn't a bad drive from SF, Parking is easy and it's close to Paradise Park cafe (and James and the Giant Cupcake) if your toddler is too hungry to function.

They had the logo re-done the next day, and we got a call saying that our order was done the day after that. I would have been impressed if this was a corporation that could pull this off, but I'm pretty sure it's just 2 guys. I found them to be totally professional. They have the option of printing on shirts other than your run of the mill Hanes or Fruit of the Loom so you end up with a shirt that you want to wear 5 days a week just because it's comfy. They also do all types of other printing such as posters and album covers. I would highly recommend.

The day before I was supposed to pick it up, they called me and told me they had "lost" my stole. Instead of taking accountability, they told me to go buy another stole myself and that they would embroider the replacement "on the spot." I ended up taking time off work trying to deal with this mess, and to make things worse, I could barely even get ahold of the store while trying to figure out what was going on. When I asked if they could at least reimburse me for losing my stole, they told me they couldn't because they were "no longer making a profit" off my order. There was little to no apology, no urgency, and absolutely no professionalism. Then after all the back and forth, they suddenly "found" my stole and told me to come pick it up at 5:30. It became pretty obvious that they never actually lost it -- they just lied about it to buy themselves more time. This was one of the most stressful customer service experiences I've had, especially considering this was for a major life event. Really shitty service. I would not recommend trusting them with anything important or time-sensitive.

Rise Above Graphics makes all the uniforms for our company: T-shirts, long T-shirts, polo shirt, hats, and sweatshirts. Gabriela designed the silkscreen art work from our instructions. She uses many suppliers so we get exactly what we need at a good price. Our orders range from hundreds of pieces to just a couple of dozen. Everything comes in on time and on budget. Gabriela has great design sense. Take her input and your results will benefit. She has a great eye for color, proportions, and texture. Right now we're doing a promotion with shopping bags, since SF just banned paper bags, and Gabriela came up with just the right bag and logo placement to please our high-end customers who will receive these bags. Most importantly, Gabriela runs Rise Above with uncompromising integrity. If you want a smart, creative, and reliable shop to do your screen printing work, you can't do better. read more

Rise Above Graphics rose above my expectations. I not only needed t-shirts printed, but also work aprons for one of my clients (I am a graphic designer). Gabriela gave me the suggestions I needed to save costs, plus recommended we print on American Apparel tshirts for positive social reasons. My client is so happy that she is placing a reorder soon. Another reviewer said it best with "quality goods for a very reasonable rate. We could not have been happier with the work and with Gabriela's professionalism". If you appreciate great customer service and need guidance and assistance with your order this is the place. read more

Rise Above did the t shirts for our boat's crew to commemorate our transit of the Panama Canal. Because we were already in Panama when we decided to have shirts made, we needed to order them from someone we could count on back in the states as we weren't around to supervise the process. Rise Above created an amazing graphic using a photo of our boat and produced the graphic on a very high quality tee in a gorgeous color scheme. I couldn't have been happier with the results. We wore the shirts with pride in the canal and many times since and people are always asking us where we had them made! Two big thumbs up! read more

This shop really knows how to get things done. I ordered two dozen shirts with multiple screens and color and the knocked them out in less than a week! That wasn't even the best part though. The design on the shirts came out perfect! We sold our shirts soooo fast because of the amazing quality! After I ran out of shirts to sell I asked Rise Above if they still had the screens from the last batch if they could make me more? They got back to me very quick and I put in another order. 1 week later same results of perfect shirts and speedy delivery. Thanks Rise Above for making my band shirts beautiful!!!! read more

I found Rise Above via the internet and took a chance with them for my screen printing project. It payed off in a major way, especially considering they were printing on an unconventional fabric! Sure there's a ton of local screen printers in my area, but the folks at Rise Above go above and beyond to make sure you get what you need. Also, for those of us who are trying to be as eco-conscious as possible, Rise Above had a few green options for my project, which was a huge plus. read more

I'm based in Boston and I found Rise Above over the web and I used Rise Above Graphics last year for a small run of shirts. They came out great.

After many washes, my shirts are still looking great. I couldn't have been happier. Thank you Gabriela! Keep up the good work! read more
