While I know a lot of people that visit my blog are primarily web designers, I also know there are a lot of you still out there, like myself, that do a good amount of print work. Sometimes it can be kind of difficult to find a quality printer, especially if you are new to an area, or need to find a good out of state printer for a specific job. With this list I hope to make it slightly easier. I asked a lot of top designers and bloggers who their printer of choice was, and put together this nice organized list for yall. I know it does not have everywhere in the world, not even close. I wish that it did! If your a designer that has used a printer for a long time and think they deserve to be added to the list, email me and I’ll add them! I want to make this an extensive list. So you here it is! Hopefully there is a printer on this list near you.

Great idea to compile this resource, Nick.
There was a similar one on the MySpace graphic design forum, from a year or two back, but, sadly, those threads don’t have a search facility. I remember is was very comprehensive.
@Zane, will do, thanks for your comment!
@David, Thanks! And thank you very much for contributing! I really appreciate it. That’s to bad about the previous list. Hopefully this will become just as comprehensive! :)
You neglected to mention any canadian locations.
I would like to say that Stirling Print Solutions in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada is one of the better places to go if you need a quality job done fast and want to deal with professionals. A little self promotion being the in-house designer and all, but I stand by our company’s work.

This is a great list, I haven’t seen anyone post something like this on their blog before. It also deserves a digg.
I can’t forget to mention another printing company from Florida, they’ve been around for over 15 years and seen many printers come and go..

This is a superb idea. This can be very useful for those who are just getting jobs out of college (like myself) and need to know the suggested printers to go to in a given area. Great list so far!
I’ve been working with of my good friends’ father’s full service printing. They were just named the best print shop on Long Island (New York) for the 2008-2009 year. Very friendly and punctual.

I suggest you change “around the world” for USA, Europe, Australia because I’m Canadian and I feel lonely :(
@Kyle, Thanks, I will check yall out! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@Seraphim Collective, Thanks! Thanks for the recommendation, I will check them out!
@Ian, Thanks for your comment, and your recommendation. I’ll check out all recommendations, and add them once I get a nice amount.
@Jacob, Sorry! As I said in the post, I know it doesn’t include everyone currently, but I hope for it to be very extensive soon. Also, Kyle just above you in comments mentioned a Canadian print shop that you might look into. Sp basically, check back for an updated version soon, and it will include Canada :) (Your also welcome to email me your recommendation)

I wanted to recommend We Print Quick (http://weprintquick.com/Default.aspx) which is an offshoot of Eveready Printing in Cleveland OH. Same great quality & service and lightning fast turn-around.
Great idea and good way to support designers in need. Thanks so much.
Great site, great resources. As an additional resource I follow and blog about online printing services.
Best luck!
Just stumbled here. Thought I’d recommend Penmor for the New England region. Great company with great staff and takes pride in being one of New England’s premier sheetfed printers

Thanks,
great site with great info. Keep up the good work.
i always go with print100 first. they have free shipping and when you order some testimonials too, you make a big friendship - cheap, fast, good. and cheap doesnt mean something negative in this.(http://www.print100.com/)
i won some cards from fabio (abduzeedo) on xmas and they are made from the guys over at printprintprint.biz
some testimonials are awesome, the prices is good and fair and the support is very fast and helps a lot (https://www.printprintprint.biz/)
[...] One of the best ideas in a long time is coming from Nick. He writes about a problem most of us had the first time when it came to a printing job ( business cards, fliers, posters….). The idea is to help you to find a quality printer in your near, especially if you are new to an area, or need to find a good out of state printer for a specific job. Not this makes this post so special, he also asked a lot of top designers and bloggers who their printer of choice was, and put together this nice organized list for us all. [...]

Thanks for everyone that commented, and submit their printers! I’ve updated the list!
Keep the submissions coming! But please include a link to your website/portfolio when you recommend a printer. Thanks!
Here’s a great printer in Denver, Colorado. These guys have been great on the customer service side. Quality is top-notch! These guys are huge and can handle whatever we throw at them. They handle all our hang tags and flyers for events.

Hi!!
I am JPEG Gaphics Ft. Lauderdale listed above. Just found this and would like everyone ti have updated info. The new name is Florida Print Shop…office is 954.745.9015…tool free 888.299.5734…website is the same: printinginflorida.com
I live and work in London and before I made any printing order I asked for free samples from many companies. Finally I’ve used few printing companies which I would highly recommend:
http://www.solopress.com,
http://www.printing.com,
& eco friendly: http://www.alocalprinter.com/
We put on a big charity event last summer in London that required all sorts of marketing material, from flyers, tickets, invitations and posters, to large format banners and displays. Often, we were really last minute (as is the case with small budgets and under staffed charity things!) and we had limited funds. Our design team was pushed to the limit but Wildfire Print supported us the whole way, providing us with really cheap, super high quality, and ALL ECO FRIENDLY printing. They bent over backwards to deliver on time as well, often keeping the press running late for us. A really unusually personal service from great printers that actually care. Check ‘em out at:
http://www.wildfireprint.com
It is an excellent idea to compile this resource. Thanks for sharing this great post.
