What customers say
I've been using MOCL for about 2 years for digital prints. I do all my art and gallery prints here. The quality is consistently excellent but it's the time and attention the staff gives me and my work that makes this my favorite place to print. The atmosphere and friendliness the staff create is unmatched.
LOVE this place! I've been a loyal customer since 2007, they are knowledgable, helpful, kind, and fast!! My Own Color Lab staff and expertise is a national treasure.
I have used My Own Color for over 20 years. I would not use any other lab for my printing, both color or b/w. Gerard and the crew are a joy to work with. They are professional and very knowledgeable, which is why this review should be 10 stars instead of 5.
Great experience here. Gerard is a very nice owner and his employees are you really nice too. They'll do anything to fit what you need for your print and give you samples to help visualize what size and color will look like. I even came late once and they were nice enough to let me come in to pick up my print.
