I needed some glossy color copies made of some large and odd shaped items. You can just wonder what they were. Anyway, I had been seeing ads at one of my favorite east valley coffee joints, Coffee Rush for some time.
The ads were for 3 Monkeys Print & Design. If you have followed my reviews at all you know I have an unexplained affinity for monkeys so of course I thought of 3 Monkeys first. If one monkey is good then 3 must be 3 times as good.
Now that I have done business with 3 Monkeys I couldn't possibly go anywhere else for my needs. My printing and design needs that is. Paolo and Miranda (I am assuming they are 2 of the monkeys but it could be that they actually have 3 monkeys themselves) did great work on the odd size glossy printing I needed. Paolo even called me in the afternoon of the day I dropped the work off to find out if I needed the colors in the graphics to remain exactly the same or could they be brought out and made brighter. Make my stuff brighter? Can I bring over my sad sack cousin next?!?
So when I dropped off the "large and odd shaped items" that I needed copied I asked Paolo about doing a stretched canvas print of a photo I took in Manhattan a couple years ago. I explained that I wasn't sure how it would look blown up as it was only an 8 megapixel camera. Isn't megapixel a fun word to say? Shout it out with me now: MEGAPIXEL! There, don't you feel more technologically masterful right at this moment? If you don't I would suggest repeating that shout until you do. In the shower.
Anyway, Paolo said he would take a look at the image (it was on my chubby. Chubby drive. Flash drive. That's what my wife calls it. The flash drive, not my...nevermind OK?) And he would tell me if he thought the image would look ok blown up to the size I wanted. We're talking about the image here. To the size I wanted. The image. You still had chubby stuck in your mind didn't you?
So Paolo explained that he would not print an image if he didn't think it would turn out good and I would be happy with it. So he had a look at it (the image silly) and said it should look great and that the rain and fog would lend itself to the texture of the canvas and it should come out great (the image).
So I went ahead and had 3 Monkeys perform the service on it (the image) and when they were through I was very satisfied (with the image. what were you thinking?)
I took a picture of it (the image) and you can have a look at it (the image) with this review.
I recommend 3 Monkeys highly and I will be back to have them handle my stuff. My color stuff. Printing and graphics. That kind of stuff. (Images)
They are at the SW corner of Southern & McClintock, not the address that came up on Yelp. I sent TPTB a message to correct this...
