What customers say
I hadn't printed any work for a while. When I discovered the range of fine art papers Candela offer, I couldn't wait to give them a try. Brad was very patient with me and all my initial questions and special requests.
Brad is fantastic, patient, super helpful, and very knowledgeable about printing. Turnaround time is very reasonable. Cost is also very reasonable for the quality of the service and work. Great variety of quality papers to choose from. Most importantly, the communication is stellar.
I had 4 slides scanned at 8,000dpi. I could not be happier with the result. My slides were 42 years old and the results were much better than I had hoped. I am about to send a dozen slides for scanning and next year another dozen at least. Brad does excellent work.
Saw some comments on here that are just alt-right people trolling. This place is great, really satisfied with they’re printing and scanning. They helped me so much with choosing paper and advice on piezo printing. Very patient and flexible with meeting and working one on one. First time printing and you get 10% off.
