Minuteman Press of North Seattle

Great service and good prices. I will def. be back! They also expedited my order in a pinch.

My second visit.
I had to photocopy a laminated document. The first regular black and white copy turned out super light. It was a challenge. The lady who helped me was incredibly nice and was more than willing to help me get the copy quality I was looking for. We tried everything to make the copies more legible from cranking up the darkness setting, color copying, and printing an image of the original document.
Yes, I got what I needed.
She didn’t charge me for what I didn’t take (the super light copies).
Too bad they don’t have envelopes for sale, but that’s no biggie. Awesome service is all that matters!

I used Minuteman Press last summer to print some flyers advertising a photography deal I was putting together. I was not happy with the way they printed, much too saturated when compared with the muted film tones on the files I had sent in. I chalked it up to the possibility of my computer not being calibrated correctly and that it was probably partially my fault. I was fine with it, not impressed but fine with it, I could still use the flyers. An employee called me up a few days later to follow up and see if I liked the print job (which is pretty cool). I told them about the color issue (as I listed here) and they grew concerned and told me they would look at the image files and call me back asap. I never heard back. I’m very understanding and realized that the colors being off may have been my fault, but it did upset me that someone had gone out of their way to follow up with me, only to blow me off and not get back to me after they had expressed concern and said they would look into it.

These guys are friendly, professional, and get the job done.
I had some documents that I needed professionally printed for a presentation. Since this location is nearby where I live, I gave them a call to see if they were able to do some color prints for me. The staff asked me to email the document to them. So after emailing it, I stopped by half an hour later to pick it up, and it was ready to go.
The quality of the print job was clean, professional and well done. I was surprised by how nice it looked with the paper and ink quality, and it was better than I had expected.
They were having some technical difficulties with the credit card machine when I tried to pay, but they were able to get it fixed within minutes after a short conversation with tech support.
Overall I was happy with my experience here at Minuteman Press. Very nice staff, quality products. I would come to them again for future print jobs when in the area.

My rating is strictly for the Aurora location. If you want your photos printed nicely, avoid this location at all costs. I placed an order for 3 photos to be printed at 16“x20″ and after waiting two days finally got a response back saying they couldn’t print them and would have to resize the images or trim them. (Downtown location got back within 24 hours and said it wouldn’t be a problem). So I emailed back on Thursday afternoon explaining how I wanted them resized, and didn’t hear back until Monday the next week. When I showed up to pick up my order, the photos were still wet from being printed, and they hadn’t even trimmed off any of the additional paper, so I had these enormous sheets of paper and ended up having to cut myself, no big deal, but considering the Downtown location trimmed my photos nicely with a border, this was pretty pathetic. Not to mention I had to pay almost double what I payed the first time I ordered from them for basically the exact same order just with different photos. I’ve been to the location downtown and they gave me an awesome quote on my order, had it done over the weekend, and trimmed my photos to have a 2″ border of white space just like I asked. The Aurora location may be good for copies and some low key printing but I am definitely not impressed, and don’t plan on returning to make orders in the future. Sticking to the Minuteman Press downtown on Alaskan Way.

These guys are awesome! All is done quickly and on time and very professional looking. It’s always about half the price of the company we all think of first for professional copies! I’m a fan!

I came in last week 5 minutes before the store closes, for a quick printing job.
I want to print addresses and names on 3 big envelopes. This is incredibly complicated and complicated job which you always end up wasting paper/​envelopes before you get the result you wanted. The lady at Minuteman is a total problem solver! She used paper first to ensure the print comes out the way we wanted, and then run my envelopes through. All jobs were perfectly done, and she even stay 20 minutes longer after the store is actually closed!
I was a happy camper! And I will come back for more :)

I could not have been happier with the service I received here. It was the day before a fundraiser and my first choice for printing had two machines break down and could no longer guarantee I would have the job in time. I called around a few places and after considering price and turn around time, I chose minuteman press.
Their price was less than half of the price at Kinkos. They said ‘by end of day’ so I expected to have to come back, but they did the job right there while I waited, about 20 minutes. Great quality, great price, exceptional service. They have definitely been added to my arsenal for getting things done.

This MinuteMan Press is under completely new management as of a few months ago, so any older reviews are not relevant.
I came to this particular MinuteMan after having a very bad experience with the MinuteMan on Union. The owner of this MinuteMan Press, Tony, and the designer, Ray, stepped in and took great care of me.
They spent over an hour with me just reviewing paper options, printing options, PMS colors, showing me what type of printing looks like what and helped me really understand what you get for different prices. They all patiently gave me quote after quote right there on the spot on the different options I wanted to explore. (Unlike other printers who seem to give you the total run-​around on pricing). They even made some suggestions and modifications to the artwork I had — resulting in awesome looking business cards. I’m now having them do my notecards and other materials for my small business.
Printing is so hard for those of us who are not professionals — and it can be expensive depending on what you are doing! Don’t take a chance on winding up with a bad print job and having to start all over like I did. Start with Tony and Ray at the MinuteMan on Aurora and they’ll take the time to make sure you know what you’re doing before you go to print!
AMAZING SERVICE, HIGH QUALITY OUTPUT AND GREAT PRICES

I had a varied experience with these guys. I talked with a guy on the phone and sent him a pdf to use for business cards. When I arrived a few days later to choose the paper they seemed completely disorganized. They couldn’t find my pdf for a while. And then it took a long time for them to find paper samples to choose from. Shouldn’t all copy centers have paper samples ready to go? And they didn’t have samples, so they just opened up new paper and showed me sheets. After a while I got tired of the process and just picked one from the four samples I was given. My cards turned out well, but it took a while for them to complete them.

We use these guys for our business cards at work, and they’ve always been courteous and reliable. They do a huge variety of jobs so I always keep them in mind for additional print needs. They have their own lot and are one of the few businesses on Aurora that I actually frequent!
Most of the time I’m afraid to get out of the car.
