My experience was AMAZING! I searched all over the area for simple yard signs, and Paper Image had the best pricing! Even though the price was fantastic, I cannot get over their customer service! The person I spoke to on the phone was incredibly helpful and they emailed me quotes and information that same day. The lovely Alyson that I spoke with via email was so prompt and so friendly with each response, and managed to keep up with my frantic emails.
She had quoted me production time and it ended up coming in a few days early and delivery was free! I can't say enough great things, I will definitely be using them for our printing needs in the future. P.S. We used them for a business - Morrie's Grand Ledge Ford Lincoln & Morrie's Okemos Ford.

We used Paper Image for my yearly marketing materials for Shaheen Automotive Group. Originally, we were going to use a corporate company to keep costs down. Instead, I wanted to keep our business local. This company cut our cost almost in half, and I was in love with the final result. Missey is the type of person that instantly feels like your best friend the instant you meet her. Her vibrant personality and passion for her profession is something that is hard to beat.
