Places of Use

So I thought I would compile a list of printers and binders that are useful for any designers. This is for any international students who are new to the city or just anyone really.

Printers:

• E-Plot – Close to uni, but double sided registration is iffy. Upside is they deal with a lot of students so they are used to us.
• Kwik Kopy – Multiple locations, the one I like is in South Yarra around the corner from Soda Rocks on Chapel street. Sometimes colour can be iffy based on their toner cartridges but they make an effort to get good double sided registration.
• Gorilla Print – In Richmond, nice friendly people, run by graphic designers but double sided registration is not so good.
• Classic Colour Copy – Just near the Victoria Markets on Elizabeth St. It's expensive but great results, I trust them to take my file and print it if I leave it with them.
• Bambra – I wouldn't be using these guys for say the printing of your proposal bc they do digital press printing, it's pricey like really pricey but results are awesome. Hard place to get to though by Public Transport. They will courier the end result to you though for free if you live in a metropolitan suburb. They will also order in stock for you if you specify but they have a good range on hand anyway.
• Dinkums – Not that great but convenient for large format printing. Located near La Trobe Street.

Paper Suppliers:

• Paper Point – Two locations, one in South Yarra and one in South Melbourne. Both are fairly easy to get to by public transport. 10 free A3 sheets for students and they will also order in paper if you need it bigger. Damien at the South Yarra store is also sometimes grumpy.
• K.W Doggett – Located in Preston, so not really a convenient location but they will ship your order to you and they can cut any size you want. If you can get a copy of their samples you can see they have some nice stocks.

Binders:

• Doncaster Book Binders – Located in Moorabbin, not the easiest place to get to, you need to catch a bus from the station and then walk, but they are friendly and reasonably priced. Quick turn around as well.
• Irwin and McClarin – In Richmond, a short walk from the station, nice group of guys a but more pricey and results vary. Depends what time of year you approach them. If it's around folio time you can expect something to go wrong. However they are pretty good with fixing mistakes.

If anyone knows of any other good places just add them in a comment. Hopefully this is helpful.
