Review; "Print Me. Graphic Design and Printing"


Located on the corner of Bourke St and Russell St in Melbourne's CBD, 'Print Me' is by far the most impressive printing company I've been to. High quality prints, on the day service, and very, VERY affordable, which is a God-send for anyone on a budget, and any art student with a major project to complete.  

My former preferred printers was 'Toucan Digital" on St Georges Rd, but that closed down more than a year ago. So I had to put my Google skills to use and find myself a new printers. For the most part it looked like I was going to have to get my work printed at Officeworks. I can tell you that is the last thing I wanted to do; the last time I had a project printed at Officeworks the quality was mediocre, it took almost an hour of a few A6 sized photos to be printed, and I was not impressed with their "customer service"((I don't care how bad your whole 5 minutes at work have been, you give me that 'Bitch Please" Chris Crocker look again and I'm going to slap it right off your face)).

So amongst all the options I was given I clicked on 'Print Me' and was greeted by a most charming website full of bright colour and pretty much any and all information I'd need to know about their printing options. They print anything from business cards and letterheads to wedding invitations, posters, raffle tickets and many other options suited to your needs. However, they didn't have a list of prices, but they said they were very affordable. They do provide a 'request quote' online option, but I called up instead. I asked about price and on-the-day service and being very surprised by the quote given I headed down to Print Me to have my work printed. The office is quite small, and there was only one girl working there, but boy was she efficient.

Are you ready for this?
Four A3 posters, full colour, matte finish, 250gsm, beautiful quality, $6.
That's right! Something that anywhere else would have cost me $200 only cost me $6! And they were printed in 5 minutes. Holy Jesus! Best printing company ever!

If I had one negative point it's that you have to press an intercom button to enter the building and theirs was broken, so I had to call them so they could open the doors for me.

But seriously, if you have something you need printed, go to;

Print Me
3A, 190 Bourke St
Melbourne VIC 3000
