I am based in Spain and contacted The Color Group through their website in order to order a bamboo print for a birthday pressie (for a family member who lives in Seattle).
Diane Forsyth was very kind and responsive since the beginning and organized the production and the delivery of the print in a very professional way and just on time... The quality of the print is fabulous and the recipient of the photo was thrilled to bits!
Simply perfect experience overall and it was a true pleasure to deal with Diane. A big thank you to her and to the rest of The Color Group staff!

I used The Color Group to print a photograph my father had taken for Father's Day. They were very responsive; we went back and forth on options of the canvas print, which was all very helpful, kind and professional. They shipped it directly to my dad's home, for a reasonable additional fee, and it got to the destination a week before the holiday. All of this was done online. In the end, the quality was bar none, and my amateur photographer father keeps saying so. I could not recommend them more highly. Thanks again, TCG!

I had a small job - 2 Prints for a frame with some mild photoshop work. I was a bit worried that they would turn me down or it would be so expensive that I would walk away.

The work they not only went above and beyond my expectations; their customer services made me feel like I was amongst friends.

I don't feel you'll be disappointed with your choice here.

The Color Group is THE BEST! They really know their craft, are reasonably priced and go beyond normal expectations to make sure the project is done right. I brought in my photography portfolio to print (color is critical) and they did an amazing job. I will definitely be going back. Thanks Color Group!

Super quick turn around and great quality. They let you stop by to proof a print before you pay for multiple, which is super. I needed a reprint in time for a poster show and Lindsay still had the file and took care of it just in time. Thank you guys so much!

I cannot recommend The Color Group enough! Their attention to detail, customer service, quality, and value is unparalleled. I had a very delicate print that was reliant on 365 shades of grey. All other printers we tried could not print true colors, and The Color Group absolutely nailed it. I will only use them for my prints from now on, online retailers can't even compete with their quality and value.

The best professional quality service at this location. The team is amazing! My original art is photographed by top pros and they can make giclee prints that are so spot on they almost look like the originals!
They are that good!

Super amazing, talented and professional crew! I Love The Color Group!!! These guys Rock! They do incredible work. Image captures are impeccably color matched and translated onto an array of substrate options, from traditional stretched canvas, or fine art paper prints, to really amazing, next level modern plexi prints. I always have a great time working with everyone here. Great personalities, keeping the energy light and humorous, yet professional. Delivering product that is on time and Stunning, every time. Bam! The Color Group works magic.

On a Tuesday morning last week I was tasked with a time sensitive large canvas printing project. I needed it Thursday morning 9 AM at the VERY LATEST.

After contacting several local printers I was told It couldn't be done. I was beginning to panic when I cold emailed The Color Group. Lindsey responded within 20 minutes. checked with her press and the next afternoon I had them in my hands.

They even took the time to mirror the bottom - a touch I hadn't even thought of!

The shop was easy to get to, had a parking lot (a plus in my book), takes credit cards and I am told even

I really like these guys. I needed a giclee print made of a digital painting for a gallery show a month down the road. They took me through my surface options, surface finish and even showed me different looks on a stretched canvas. The color proof looked great and the finished print on stretched canvas looks amazing. It looks so polished and modern it doesn't need a frame. I'm very happy with how it turned out and will be using these guys for future work. If you are a serious photographer or digital artist who needs gallery quality large format prints, look no further.

These folks are the best. I had an important, rush, high-quality poster job. The customer service was fantastic (thank you, Lindsey!) and the quality of the finished work is excellent. The cost was very reasonable, too. Thank you. I'll be going back!

Fantastic customer service, knowledgeable staff, and all around great prints. I am very picky about print quality, and they nailed it for over 20 images! They made adjustments from the proofs with me there, and I could see how competent the staff was.
They also have very competitive pricing and turnaround on high-end digital prints. I can't recommend them enough!

I've been working with this foundry for a few years and they do such amazing work. As an artist, I want my Giclèes to match as closely to my originals as possible. They understand this and have consistently gone above and beyond.

I've come in with two different scenarios; 1) One with an existing digital file that a professional photographer took of my (rather large scale) work. 2) I've also come in with smaller pieces that they have drum scanned in-house. In both cases, they have kept the original for a few days while they tested the color accuracy of the digital files. I&apos

I needed a small run of 16"x20" archival ink jet prints done within a few days.

The Color Group gave me the most competitive price for this area, and my final prints were well worth what they cost. The prints I made were of line art, and they made a test print before running them for me to check sharpness.

The final prints look great: sharp, clean, and with great print resolution. They were packed up for me with extreme care, which I appreciate. Kevin, Eric, Nancy and Lindsey were all efficient and incredibly helpful.

Thanks Color Group!

Through my usual combination of indigence mixed with perfectionism, I found myself with a tight deadline for a limited edition giclée print for an upcoming event. I dashed off an e-mail to The Color Group on Saturday, thinking I might hear from them on Monday. Two hours later I was looking at an estimate. I sent the job in on Monday, on Tuesday I looked at hard copy proofs with two different paper options, on Thursday the prints were done and on Friday I picked up the absolutely stunning final product.

The color was just what I was looking for, the matte varnish provided a great vintage feel

I needed a high resolution drum scan of the illustration I created for the next wine label for Mason Cellars Vineyards. It will be printed on hundreds of thousands of labels and distributed across the United States, so the quality had to be exceptional. These guys were not only extremely professional, but they were fast and cost effective too. I got the scan within 24 hours and had the opportunity for on site color corrections. I'm definitely working with them again in the future and highly recommend them!

Top notch in every way. I've been coming here for prints of my art pieces, and they've been great. The prints are fabulous, every time. They're extremely friendly and if one doesn't know what option to pick (I didn't at first) they help guide you to the best option.

They're extremely professional, have great production, and are as friendly as they come.

I just went to pick up my poster print at The Color Group, and let me just say something. It was perfect. I see you're not understanding me. Perfect. Absolutely 0 flaws. 918 square inches, an infinite number of opportunities to mess up with scratches, dings, air bubbles, uneven cuts, rough edges, roughed surface, compression, impressions, fingerprints etc., but they did not do any of that even once.

If you're serious about what you're printing, don't accept a substitute. These guys are serious professionals and know exactly what they're doing.

There's a reason they're 5-stars solid. Just a top-notch company.

I've used them several times and been very happy with them, but was compelled to write the review after this last time. I had a design for some new cards and asked if they could squeeze me in for a last minute event. No problem - they proofed the print, and was ready to go. All of a sudden, I had a new design that I wanted to use - was it possible to switch out the old design for the new one, even as they were ready to print? No problem. They got them done with time to spare, and for an unbelievably reasonable price

Can I even express how much I adore these folks?

SO MUCH!

As a brand new artist here in Seattle, facing down the barrel of my very first gallery show consisting of a dozen or so 3' x 4' canvases, I needed all the assistance I could get.

The small family of people at The Color Group were not only incredibly personable, but they were remarkably willing to work with my last-minute printing requests and budget constraints, and I can honestly say I never would've gotten the show mounted without their help.

Plus, their quality of reproduction is flawless and beautiful - who could ask

I am a local artist and for my very first art show last July, I walked into The Color Group and was greeted by Lindsey who walked me through color paper options, canvas options, etc. I knew that they would never lead me astray. Well, nearly a year and 12 art shows later, they are my printer of choice for giclee' prints. Whether it's my usual 5x7 illustrations or 24x30 inch work for out of state shows, they are the best! Kevin is a dream to work with and makes sure your digital output is perfect before going to print. They really know their stuff here and they are personable. I go to them

The Color Group has outstanding service!

I've printed a few jobs with them now, and each time they surprise me with the extra mile that they go. For one of the jobs I didn't know how to fix something in Adobe Illustrator, so they asked me to come in. When I came in to the office, they showed me a few tricks on how to fix the it, and then updated the file for me on the spot with no charge. They always take the time to make sure the output is exactly the way you want.

They work through email so it's easy to go back and forth on updating files. Their staff is always friendly and

The Color Group is amazing.

I initially contacted them to do my wedding save the dates - vintage postcard on one side, text on the other. I contacted four companies, and The Color Group got back to me fast with a totally reasonable estimate (unlike another highly recommended printer on here which shall remain nameless). Then they did a totally spectacular job, and SUPER FAST! Since they were so awesome, I asked if they could then do the SECOND part of my save the dates, which involved a photo. They were nervous to do the photo because - and this is the truth - they were afraid it would cost me
