The staff member who answered the phone did not have answers for simple questions and was rude from the start.

Quality of a simple black and white was bad and my small order was twice as much as the estimate. I regret my business.

Their small jobs are fine. Worth 5 stars. I recommend them for small size jobs. Highly. The new guy who does larger size jobs literally doesn't know how to measure. I asked to print a file at ratio with the reference 'plus marks' vertically 15 inches apart. He called to ask "do you want me to measure from the centers or the tips of the plus mark?" I asked if it was a joke. He said no, and he was going to charge me for the time to figure it out.
I hung up. Basically he's charging you for time to figure out how to measure the proper size of the print. How to measure from the same point on all reference points. Very basic signage things. He can't size a normal vector file for printing. I had the exact same job printed by the same place, Central Print, at a larger size for $20. I still have the receipt. It's a matter of simply being consistent. This new guy doesn't know what the heck he's doing and said it would cost way more than $20. He got rude and I don't think I'll be coming back for anything, personally.

I had a difficult-to-explain print for them to enlarge, and for the second time they've completely nailed it. Printing full size nearly 4x6ft drawings of my design has saved me tens of hours of time in production and the roughly $40 price was very reasonable. Highly recommended.

This is why you buy and go local. We had a Christmas gift go wrong the Friday before my wife had to leave and bring this gift on a plane Monday. Wisely she jumped on Facebook and asked for help on who could recreate a custom gift for her co-worker. The team at Central print were very accommodating and Brandon pulled off a miracle. Well we can both state that it was skill for Brandon, but for us it was a miracle to get the gift printed, framed, and done on a Friday afternoon during the holiday season. Cant thank the team enough.
If you need printing especially with custom design work, I would highly suggest you call Central Print to help you out. They do more than just printing and I wish we would have gone to them in the beginning because they could have done the whole thing. They can engrave, etch and other services that you may not think of or saw something cool on Instagram. Before you go across the nation to some nameless Etsy shop, see if they can pull it off for you. You won't be sorry.
