Love my new business cards and headed paper. It was only a small print run and good value so I wasn't expecting such really high quality. I was expecting to pay much more (don't put your prices up). Definitely be using them again soon.

I have used every printer in Bath and as far as I am concerned, this is the only one you need. You get what you asked for, when you asked for it and if you mess up they go out of the way to make sure you get the job out on time. A really good professional service.
