Printefex

I can’t emphasize how great these guys are.
I print my artwork in short runs to sell at shows and online, and these guys have always come through for me. They are amazingly friendly, and are always excited to make my work look great. They work with deadlines flawlessly, even in emergencies.
I don’t even live near Glendale/​La Canada anymore, but I still go out of my way to get my work done here.

What a gift La Canada has with Printefex in our backyard. There is no job too big or too small. The staff are always courteous, helpful and, when needed, creative. Why go anywhere else?

Erik and his staff are fabulous. Excellent customer service! It’s a priority to Erik and his staff that every client leaves happy. They work with me to help with my design to get the best layout, color and presentation possible!
Thank you for all you do!

I’ve used Printefex in Glendale but this one in La Canada offers way better service. They are professional yet friendly and warm. Erik seems to remember everyone even though I went there right before Christmas when things looked crazy busy. They made my Christmas cards just the way I wanted. Like!!!

This was my first time using Printefex, and I am thrilled to report that they are incredible. I went to the La Canada location. Easy peasy. Erik is the owner and was SOOOOO helpful and knowledgeable. He and his staff totally worked patiently with me and my ridiculously large file. AND my postcards and banner came out perfect and early to boot!
I will be back every chance I get!

This place is awesome! Eric was really great — he knew exactly what I needed, made great suggestions, and printed some color pages for my portfolio — WHILE I WAITED! Super professional and excellent quality. They deserve every star and more.

PrintEfex is the absolute BEST! They do it all and they do it fast! I have gone to printefex for Tournament flyers, posters, banners, tee signs, programs, rack cards, even disposable camera developing. Erik is always striving to produce the best product possible for his customers. He recently upgraded a bunch of his equipment & we received the most beautiful color booklets I have seen! Printed, folded, & stapled all in a few hours. Wow! Great people, great service. In this age of internet shopping, it is so nice to have a local store you can depend on for top notch products & personal customer service. Thank you Erik & the entire Printefex team! You exceeded our expectations.

Erik at Printefex printed 103 pages for us for a travel scrapbook, cut them and punched holes to fit a binder. He was excellent and very accommodating to work with. The print quality was amazing, much better than the online publisher we had previously used. I recommend him highly.

Anyone in the La Canada/​Pasadena/​La Crescenta area in need of printing or photo work should look no further than Printefex. I recently had a death in the family and had to deal with getting materials printed for the memorial while on the road for business. Printefex came to the rescue! Everyone in the office was helpful and understanding. I was probably the worst possible customer; I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, I didn’t have everything they needed to get started and I was in a rush. That said, they handled everything masterfully and got everything done on time and under budget.
Eric gets extra props for being a lifesaver in a time of need.

I went in to get my resume printed on some nice paper and they were very helpful in helping me choose a lovely linen paper. They printed it quickly and for a very reasonable price!

I’ve found my new favorite place for printing my digital photos! The quality of the prints are very professional, & at half the cost of most small businesses like this. Customer service was excellent. Everyone was incredibly helpful & friendly. I look forward to growing my business with the help of this print shop!

These people are amazing! I am so thankful I found them on Unilocal.I needed to get 12 disposable cameras developed for the school I work for and needed them done in a short amount of time. Not only did they have it done a day sooner than they originally told me, but they showed me amazing customer service throughout the entire process. Thank you Printefex! You guys are awesome and I will be back in the future.

Stellar work on repairing and retouching an old photo that had so much damage to it I thought it was a lost cause. What I got back was a beautiful photo that had absolutely no traces of any scratches or damage. This was a photo that was at least 50 years old and was nearly unusable because of damage. The repair work was perfect. Thank you!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!
I cant recommend these guys enough. Erik and his team got your back with all your printing needs. Super fast, efficient and professional service. Talk about quality, they always deliver above and beyond.
Erik is the man, he ll get it done for you. Professional and friendly team at Printefex!
10 STAR FULLY DESERVED!

Thank you Printefex. In under 45 minutes this wonderful place was able to turn around a rush order I had for 10 posters for the AYSO team I help coach. They made me look great to the team, and the team will never know how long I procrastinated in getting the posters made. :)

Absolutely the best! Erik and everyone that works there is so friendly and helpful! I had trouble getting my recall cards for my office made. No problem, took the card to Erik, and within 2 days, he printed me 500 copies of exactly what I wanted. Not only that, but he brought it to my office so I didn’t have to go pick it up! If this isn’t service, then I don’t know what is.
There is nothing in print that they do not do! They even did my family portrait for me, dog and all! They let us pick out the background and it looks amazing in my wall! This place is a gem in La Canada. There is no other place that I would go to for my printing needs! I highly recommend Printefex!

I don’t even know where to start with my review. I have been coming to Printefex for over two years now. I don’t even know why I never came here earlier. Well known in the community for there work.
As a business owner, I can say, Erik has picked the best staff members and I mean best. There is nothing this company isn’t able to make. All items i have order have been custom designed by their graphic designer, edited if needed, and printed in either La Canada store or their Glendale location.
They send you an email of the proof and you send your finally approval and after that, your order is ready in either hours, or a day or two. They are super fast and like their work prefect.
Printefex has made gift cards, printed banners, printed flyers, photos (which is amazing quality and I know local photographers who only use them), they have blown up photos for me bigger then 5 feet tall, fixed antique photos and restored it with a cd copy, I have made multiple invitations, napkins with company logos, and I can say the list goes on and on.
This is a small business I love and give my business too.
If you meet the owner, you can tell he works with all his heart. He makes sure everyone is happy.
This place is always busy. Everyone loves them.
Great service.
Great quality.
Products that last.
If you haven’t gone, you must try them.

Im just going to make this short and sweet.
I had a good experience when I ordered my wedding invitations from them. It was a very large order.
When I went in there twice for a much smaller order, the owner didn’t give me the time of day. They had another client in there requesting multiple banners and my small order was too insignificant to be given the same level of customer service.
I only gave it 2 stars because Anahid at the Glendale location is very sweet and patient.

I called Printefex because I needed 175 postcards made in less than 2 hours. I was desperate, and Sylvia was amazing! She got me a quote in less than 5 minutes, and had my job done 15 minutes before my cutoff time. She even overheard me say I needed to ship the postcards overnight and prepared a box for me! Talk about going above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you Printefex!

(Shopped 01÷04÷13 F @ 5pm): Yes, they still develop this thing called «film!»
When in doubt, return to the business you frequented in the past who always gave you excellent service, and that’s what I did when I went to Printefex to see if they still developed camera film. Before Unilocal and at the start of this crazy thing called the internet, I used to drop-​off my disposable cameras at this neighborhood business and always received quick and friendly service. Flash-​forward more than 15 years, and the same still held true!
I’d just returned from a trip of a lifetime — three weeks traveling in Australia and New Zealand during the Christmas holiday season. As part of the trip, I snorkeled an entire day in the Great Barrier Reef! I couldn’t find a GoPro to borrow, so I purchased an underwater 35 MM 27-​exposure disposable camera from the boat that took us out to the diving/​snorkeling site.
Semi-​confident, I took the camera to them and sheepishly asked if they still offered this service, which they happily did! Their primary business was printing posters, banners, copies, and the like, but apparently film development also fell into this category. I eagerly handed them the camera and requested both prints ($ 10.99) and a CD transfer ($ 5.00). They promised they would be ready in a couple days and they were! I was so joyful when all exposures came out beautifully of glorious colorful coral reefs and tropical fishes. The CD was an easy transfer to my computer.
The service was amazing from all three staff members who worked there on both occasions I stopped in (dropped-​off and picked-​up). The young gentleman whom I imagined was the manager greeted me like we were old friends; I loved it! And the young lady behind the counter humored me when I was shocked that they still developed film. Hey, it was all in good fun, and a true asset to how they ran their business.
Parking was decent as they shared a limited amount of parking spots among several businesses. Otherwise, there was free street parking along the main drag of Foothill Blvd., the residential side streets, or across the street at the Trader Joe’s or Ralphs parking lots for an extra walking distance.
Overall, it’s businesses like Printefex with their amazing service and products offered that made me return after such long gap between visits. Although I was in the area running errands, I didn’t even bother to call first and check with them; I just knew they would be able to do it for me. I found absolute value based on the price and service noted above (total bill was around $ 17.00; no tip required), but the lifetime of memories I now had preserved on both CD and hard copy was immeasurable. The atmosphere/​décor was like any print shop with a large open floorplan, machinery out in the open, and work samples hung along all the walls. I didn’t recall any TVs nor chairs, but I believed there were supplies and such that could be purchased. The attire was totally casual, so I was in a t-​shirt, boardshorts, and flip-​flops. And they accepted my credit card of choice… AMEX!
