Customers mention book printing, meeting deadlines and turnaround time most often. Several say short runs of paperbacks come at a reasonable cost, and that the staff communicate well. One first-time author printed a memoir and was pleased with the text, the image quality, the binding and the sturdy cover. Another praised the matte cover and the vibrant colour sections of a first book, and says replies came within a few hours. One customer says the business met a tight deadline, even when last-minute changes caused a delay of a few days. Our pick in East Tāmaki for a first book or a family history printed to a deadline.
