👍👍 I love art side! There's this guy that works there! I must grab his name next time! He scanns my paintings (blows them up/ makes them smaller) and if I'm not a fan of the colour that comes out he will happily make sure you do! Very patient and kind!

    We had our wedding invitations printed at The Art Side. We do not live locally but the team came highly recommended. It was extremely easy to send our invitation for printing and easy to contact the shop to discuss our options and quotes. The service was brilliant; the invitations were ready for collection very quickly, great quality printing, we are very happy with the invites. The staff in store were really friendly and helpful. And a big thanks to Garry for helping us over the phone with our order. We will definitely go back for other printing we need, and would highly recommend.

    I cannot compliment you more highly for the superb job you did binding my 40 page family history book. The cover was picked out in silver script for which I was offered a choice of fonts! The finished article is impressive. Compliments to Gary and well done to the shop. Keith Gibbons.

    I needed some printing done really quickly for a PTA event at my boys' school. Garry not only replied to my email instantly with a quote, but could do the printing on the tight timeframe. He chatted to me over the phone even before the shop was open and my printing was done exactly when I needed to pick it up - and it's a beautiful job. Thanks so much Garry, I'll definitely be using you again.

    Absolutely amazing printing and extremely quick turnaround. They even gave me a bit of wiggle room on my hours because of the timing of my meeting. Honestly excellent and I can’t recommend highly enough.

    The team here have helped me out so many times. They have good prices and great services. I often need a variety of different printed and cut products and Garry and the team always manage to sort me out. It’s amazing that they can often do a really quick turnaround on top of a high quality print.

    I was recommended by a photo shop to go to The Art Side as they were unable to assist me themselves. I have been hugely impressed by the can do attitude (particularly of Douglas) who not only scanned and printed a very old photo to an excellent quality, but also removed some blemishes. Very happy to recommend

    Fantastic and affordable service as always. The Art Side always goes above and beyond. They have helped me with last minute projects on numerous occasions and have great stock. Don't know what I would do without them.

    I usually don't go to small independent shops bc their really expensive and it's hard to stay in budget if I do. Anyways my friend told me that they had a sale on and I love what I got :) the girl who helped me was so lovely and helpful I love my new art stuff. I might end up shopping there more. Everything about them was great! The favourite thing about my new art books is that I can paint on the covers🥰

    Excellent customer service from the team here at The Art Side in Plymouth. Ever so friendly and helpful. Easy to find as they are on Mayflower Street opposite the yellow shutter board game place. Thank you Douglas, Diana and Gary! The store is crammed with everything you need from paper, cardboard, art equipment, brushes, sketch books, paint, architectural model human beings to printing. An artist’s heaven! Good to know I can print larger than A4. They can design things for you the way you want such as wedding signs. Thank you so much for your help. Bumped into The Queen and Prince Phillip here.. see photo below:

    I’ve always loved going into Artside. It’s the perfect place to get dissertations printed and bound. They are amazingly friendly and keen to help. Nothing seems to be too much trouble printing wise and Garry has helped me size images in order to make my art cards. He has also advised and helped me to create some hard backed books for the children in my family which look gorgeous.

    These guys printed a big job for me to a tight deadline, and managed to have it ready a lot earlier than expected. Extremely helpful staff, lots of insight and options in paper & binding, and provided great advice of my choices. Great experience, highly recommend. Prints came out looking awesome, paper quality and binding was solid.

    Brilliant service from Garry and the team, I send an email with my requests, and it’s such a simple process to get everything sorted. Any queries, one of the team is on the end of the phone to help. I’ve used The Art Side for a few years now to print off my PDF sewing patterns, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

    Excellent service and very helpful staff! Special mention to Garry in particular, who sorted and cut to size everything for my dissertation - so very kind. Would definitely return again for any other works to be printed. Highly recommend.
