Their staff are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They are willing to help when I have questions, and they also ship items if you happen to live out of town (which I do). If they are unsure how to help they will do their best to find out an answer, or they will be honest and let you know that they are not sure. Honesty like that is hard to come by anymore.

Very helpful. The older gentlemen that helped me was very knowledgeable in the product he sold and provided a ton of tips to a first time screen printer. I will continue to use these guys down the road. Thank you for the help!

I've been here multiple times and although the quality of the products are good the main guy there is EXTREMELY rude and disrespectful, to the point where I almost feel verbally abused. He's super aggressive and I won't go back there again because it's THAT bad. If you're anything less than a professional he'll talk down to you. Btw this is the first review I've ever wrote, but I had to let people know.

I frequent this place for screen re-meshing and to purchase Union Ink. They are knowledgeable and quick with having an order ready. Very friendly also!
