Customer Testimonials “I’ve been working with Keyvan and his team a little more than a year now and I’m really happy with their high quality products and service. They are one of those few companies who go the extra mile to make sure you receive the best product on time and on budget. Thanks again for all your work.” Iman Aghay, President of Success Road Academy “Just a quick note to say a BIG thank you! Once again, you have pulled it off and made Essette look good. Literally! I’m sure we’ll talk again soon, but I wanted to let you know how much you and your staff are appreciated.” Linda “My designer screwed up on the trifold measurements and no printing studio, I visited, could print these out for me or help me with the trifold measurements. I had 2 days before I had to leave for a trade show and needed those prints! My designer is overseas and I couldn’t reach him to correct the file. Needless to say, I was freaking out! “Thank God for INSTANT IMPRINTS! These people saved me. Their designer sat down with me and corrected my design. 3 days later I had all prints at my hotel at the trade show. Grant and his team were amazing and I will definitely come back for future projects. “Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for a reliable, customer friendly and high- quality printing studio!” Bear B Company: Instant Imprints Name: Ralph Askar Email: [email protected] Address: 6615 Flanders Dr., Suite B, San Diego, California 92121 USA Telephone: +1 619 218 9699 1701CA14
