Far Better Printing

Unbelievable… Brandan is a superhero. He just solved my last-​minute printing problems with enough time to prepare for a job interview in the eleventh hour. Not to mention, the printer generated crisp, high-​res quality from low-​res PDFs for my portfolio. I can’t thank him and Far Better enough. There’s a reason they’ve been in business for decades, and it’s not just about their low prices for the same quality you’d pay double for in other parts of Brooklyn. And, yes, you can email them documents and printing instructions in advance. They’re that good and that sensitive to customers’ needs…

Came here to purchase a pre made book that contained all the readings that my professor wanted. The book costs $ 16.50. It consisted of about 50 pages. I’m still iffy on the price, but the service here was good — the lady behind the counter was sincere and made chatted with my friend and I.

I went to this place for the second time to have documents printed off of my USB. It cost 90 cents for black and white. My only issue is my margins on my document appeared weird but for the most part, quick and fast.

Do not recommend.
I called them in advance to see if they could fully bind the long edge of 11×17 paper and they stated that they could. I then emailed them the file with clear directions for 6 spiral bound, double sided copies on 11×17 paper with no covers. I also said that I would pick them up at 2:30 (this was at 8:15 am) and if they couldn’t process the order by then, to email me to come by later.
When I showed up, they hadn’t done the work (or emailed me) saying that they got swamped. However, all three of them were standing around and goofing off. One guy went into the back and 10 minutes later came out with 1 copy of the file, single sided, and spiral bound with an 11″ binding strip.
I repeated to them what I needed and they proceeded to tell me that the largest binding they have is 11″. I asked why I was told they had 17″ over the phone and they sidestepped the question by saying that they will go back and fix the problem.
They then came back out (20 minutes later) with 6 copies, double sided; however, there was now a cover on them and still only bound with 11″ binding. Not to mention, the binding was positioned almost at the bottom so when you open it up, the top half flops over. They refused to remove the covers or fix the binding. I needed them that day and did not have the time to go elsewhere so I grudgingly paid and left. Later, I found out that the holes for the binding on one of the copies was punched too close to the edge and that half of the binding wasn’t even attaching the paper.
Very unprofessional work (both in quality and looks) and poor customer service. I will go out of my rather than return here.

Far Better Printing is a wonderful and personable business. They are prompt to reply to emails and phone calls and do not hesitate to answer any questions. They give you a good price and great service.

Really good prices and great service.
Came here today you fax a document (because my fax machine is still broken) and I was in and out in a matter off minutes… granted there wasn’t a line.
The place is tidy, the displays are convincing, prices are okay, and staff is professional. They place will definitely see me again.

I’ve only ever gotten course packs for my classes here. But this year alone I have spent over $ 100 at Far Better Copy. Each and every packet had something wrong with it.
One packet was printing so poorly, that I couldn’t read half of it because it was so faded and hard to read. My professor said she gave them clear originals so there was no excuse for the low quality of them.
In another course pack the binding came un-​done midway through the semester.
In another, the printing was done so weirdly off center it made me dizzy when I read it.
Two of these course packs were ones I would have loved to use in the future. But I can’t. They are impossible to use as they are.
It’s not nice when a business takes advantage of the fact that we’re students and we have no choice but to give them our business. If I ever need my own printing done, I won’t do it here.

Not bad price. Get all things for classes here for BC. Unfortunately, when I see the big packets come, I sigh. LOL. reliable service always.

I have known the owner Joe for over 18 years now. Everytime he does a job for us, it comes out without a hitch. His shop is always clean, organized and staff amazing. Actually those staff guys have been there forever. (Except Mike who has moved on to greener pastures) These guys really know what they are doing.

Great print shop. I know them for years and have used them many many times for offset printing and copying. Joe and his staff are great to work with.

Far Better Printing is AWESOME.
Everyone in there is so chill and cool. You just like, what to hang out with them. They do Brooklyn College’s course packets, which also means the most crowded time is during the first couple weeks of school. so don’t be mean to them its not their fault its crowded. The graphic design crew is also amazing at what they do!
def go there for ALL your printing needs.

Super fast, i love these guys! they make free copies sometimes too, if u ask nicely

An important place for any Brooklyn College student. The staff here is generally very quick and knows how to keep it moving when there are long lines. Students have to buy «course packs» here so at times it can get quite hectic, especially at the beginning of a semester. Their prices are fair (8 cents a page after the first page — cheaper than the xerox at the library), and the only thing I’ve ever done here other than copies is once I sent a fax — standard price for that, probably less than a Kinko’s. I have never seen anyone order anything like invitations or etc, but they do offer more than what I need them for. Once they even hooked me up with some free copies since I had been in earlier and it was only like 3 pages. He must have recognized that girl who was always running late who needed 15 copies of some handwritten music.
