Canterbury Media Services

I had a very specific question about preparing a digital file for an engraving. I called Canterbury Media to see if they could convert my file. I was referred to Mr Kotoulas who took his time to understand what I needed, guided me through the issues involved in such a process and referred me to where I could get the conversion done. I am confident, after such a positive interaction, that Canterbury Media has, not only highly experienced staff, but an uncommon approach to customer service. I will not hesitate to hire or recommend Canterbury Media for any graphic work I need in the future. Excellent service, thank you again!

What could I possibly add to all the other stellar reviews?! Great quality. Even Better Prices (about ½ the competitor rates). Super customer service. Excellent attention to quality, even down to how they roll the posters for transportation! Please everyone use this company so they can keep prices low.
I was in a bind and not thinking so I had a poster printed at FedEx. The price was around $ 112 for absolutely basic draft quality. The final product was so disappointing and expensive that I sought another printer for the final version.
Enter
. I purchased their «professional» quality at about ½ the price of FedEx. The coated paper quality was excellent, to the point of looking laminated.
I would ABSOLUTELY utilize their services again. If you are a student, the prices cannot be beat. If you are a professional, the quality of their products will make you look good!

We had last minute request which was helped literally within half day. Fast, professional and friendly service and great printing quality. I was in touch with Sung and she was very helpful. Glad I came over Canterbury Media account while searching online. Thank you, guys!

I started a job at a company that really needed a lot of help with its marketing, including having a kick a$$ printing company that they could turn to for things like banners, marketing brochures, and other materials.
Good for them that I live near Berkeley, know how to use Unilocal,and found Canterbury Media Services. For the first trade show I did with this company, I had less than four weeks to get things together. The conference was at Moscone Center and I was pretty much stuck there for the two days preceding the opening of the expo to make sure the booth and other stuff was in order. They made sure that wasn’t a problem, got the banner printed for me, and had someone drop it off at Moscone South.
From then on, I used them for all of my big printing needs for this company. They never let me down. I’m moving on, but I hope wherever I land, I’ll be able to use Canterbury Media again. They’re great!

Sung at Poster Presentations made the entire ordering and printing process simple, straightforward, and easy! It was great to have another set of eye catch image resolutions that I would have otherwise missed, and can’t wait to see my poster! Will definitely use their services again.

Just had an excellent few days conversing with Poster Presentations and having them print my research poster. I talked to at least 3 different people, all of whom were helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. My poster is beautiful, FAR cheaper than anything Kinkos/​Fedex could offer (at least half the price), and I’m happy to support a local business. The print job was a very quick turnaround as well. Couldn’t ask for anything more in a printing shop!

They processed my scientific poster quickly and the result was beautiful! I would recommend them to all of my colleagues.

I will probably change my rating to 5 stars once I start doing more jobs with them. The four is based on my one experience using Caterbury Media. They were fast and very helpful. My client was happy with the final product which was a standing banner. The management was very helpful and accommodating. I would definitely return, actually I just referred another one of my client here…

we wanted to print a custom thumbprint guestbook for our wedding and we found this fabulous local printer! thanks Unilocal!
they were able to print a huge 22“x28″ print on archival paper for a very reasonable cost and quick turnaround time.

When we learned we had to print out posters for our final project (which involved a poster presentation), most of us were okay. until our GSI told us they would cost on average $ 100.
One peer mentioned Canterbury and I looked into it. The site was super easy to use and for less than $ 50 (the student deal, must upload PDF, but that’s easy to convert to!), my poster was printed, and ready to ship out by 4pm the very next day! Of course, I wanted to pick it up since it’d be faster than dealing with mail services, so I left a note while placing my order then called to confirm. I needed it by 2pm since I’d be leaving Berkeley by 2:30pm. They told me to call at 1:30pm to see if it’d be ready. It was! When I went to go get it, they led me to the back and even unrolled it to show me before rerolling it up.
Friendly service. Amazing products. And unbeatable price!

Fast, inexpensive printing of a scientific poster and the microscopy images looked better than anyplace else I’ve gone. Great, friendly service.

Been using their poster printing service for research and I have never had any problems. My posters are typically a little over $ 50. I’ve always done a local pickup so I can’t comment on the quality and efficiency of delivery. Still, I’m very happy with their easy-​to-​use website and how my posters always turn out. Even the «cheaper» paper still looks professional. If you’re a UC Berkeley grad or postdoc — definitely check them out! I’m at UCSF and there isn’t any comparable printing service here, not even close. You guys are lucky!

Over the last two years, I’ve printed four research posters through Canterbury Media Services’s
website, and picked them up locally. The posters are cost-​effective, look great, and get printed fast. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I recommend them highly to friends and colleagues.

This is the second time I have used Canterbury, and I couldn’t be happier!
They do an absolutely gorgeous job printing– they make my digital paintings look better than they actually do, somehow!
Very friendly staff, fast service.
I don’t think I’ll go to anybody else for my fine art prints. I’d recommend them to anyone!

I have worked with Canterbury for many years, and they always produce my projects at top quality and on time. Art, Ben and everybody there are extremely friendly and easy to work with — they’re as invested in getting the job right as I am. It’s a rare thing to have a vendor I can depend on as well as I can with them. Highly recommended.

These guys are a unique shop. It’s not your typical click and order mystery website. There are real people who email and call you, to make sure your order is right. They have design services and will put a poster together from your powerpoint slides, and make it all look pretty! Their quick turnaround on my posters was amazing.

I last used Canterbury Media Services a little over 2 years ago. However, since I constantly recommend them to my friends, I thought I should write a review.
I’m a graduate student in the sciences at UC Berkeley and Canterbury is basically a lifesaver for printing research posters. They have incredible customer service, very reasonable prices, and can do same day printing. My experience with these guys has been fantastic and I’ve heard similar experiences from all the people I have recommended them to. Highly recommended.

Perfect experience with no issues.
I printed an academic poster for a Department retreat.
I sent my poster at 9am, and got it at 12pm same day.
They have a thorough and intuitive online uploading system that lets you specify a format (PowerPoint 2003, 2007, pdf, etc.) to avoid issues.
They send a pdf file so that you can check before they print the poster.
Printing posters here is cheaper than at Kinko’s and other competitors.
They have great customer service. I got a phone call after starting my profile because I took a while before sending in my upload.
Even if you don’t have a car, you can take the bus to pick up your poster. They can also ship the posters.
The final printed poster looked great!
Truly recommended!

I had a fine art print done here after a print by a different company failed (color was very incorrect).
Art (Argyris) printed it in no time right on the spot and the price was even less than the other place.
I’ve worked with several fine art printers before, and I know that a good printer knows how the printout looks like before printing it because of the experience and also the fine tuned computer monitor that is matched to the printout color temperature.
People in this company know what they are doing. This place was recommended by someone who knows that I am very fussy about colors on fine art prints.

I’ve printed several large scale poster presentations here and had them ship it to various states on tight deadlines every time. Art and his team were always extremely helpful, quick, and gave us the best finished product from all the other printing vendors we’ve used. And additionally, they have very reasonable prices.
The customer service is top notch… Art was always on top of everything. I never had to worry about the usual tricky color issues I had with other printers. He seemed to keep a memo of our recurring needs. When shipping, I was promptly provided with a tracking number for my shipped posters. And my package always arrived as scheduled.
The organizers at one of the national conferences we attend annually recommended them for poster presentations. I’ve used them since, and have never thought about switching to another printing vendor. I’d gladly recommend them without any reservations.
