Manny was very thorough and the price was great on creating postcards for our new business. We will continue to use Cantu Graphics.

Manny was extremely helpful in getting some beautiful prints made. I showed up near closing time on a Saturday, and they made sure everything got done. Prices were good, especially for the rush job. Files were resized to perfection without any guidance, print and paper quality was top notch, with lots of options to choose from. I showed up with a sample and they were able to match the paper very quickly. The edges after trimming to size were sharp and precise, and everything was packaged neatly at pick up.
If you need absolute professional quality work done at quickly with great price, go with Cantu Graphics. These guys know what they are doing, and pay attention to details.

These guys are great! they did our wedding invite and thank you cards. Manny did our wedding invites and it was super clean and crisp. We were very particular on colors and he printed us colors to match and gave us guidance as we did some photoshop on our own! Dario did our thank you cards. I highly recommend using them because they came out well. More importantly, they are nice and super friendly people to work with. To us that’s important!

Thank you to Dario and Cantu Graphics for your patience and actually caring about my printing project. After an awful experience at FedEx Office in South Pasadena where the employee didn’t know how to put 4 Powerpoint slides onto one page and then told me to go do it myself, I searched Unilocal for another local printing place and came across Cantu. Dario stuck with me for 10 min. getting my booklet done and even asked what the project was for. If you need a printing job locally, save yourself a headache (from FedEx) and go to Cantu!

These guys are the best. They help me w very important things to me: grad announcements and my treasured card to pass out to my family funerals. Both mean a lot to me and they make them perfect! It’s a true gem of a place.

I’m at Cantu on an almost weekly basis to have work materials printed. I manage marketing for three different restaurants and go to these guys for every promotional item that we need. The quality is exceptional, they have a quick turn around time, and the entire staff is awesome (Danny, I’m looking at you). I highly recommend these guys. They’re awesome!

Great service. Although we had a dispute over them charging our garden club for some slight change, they more than made up for the 5% discount (for checking in and using Unilocal!) We still saved money for this non-​profit organization and we have Cantu Graphics to thank!. We are definitely returning back next year! Thanks Dario for your patience in working with SMGC!

I have used Cantu Graphics for copy needs for the Calif Native Plant Society Plant Sale (Nov. 7, 2015). They are the best — nice, exc. copies, great prices, great service.

The guys here are beyond helpful and honest. Continuous customer. Worth our 40min drive to Pasadena. We have gone to other print shops for quotes and many declined us service because they didn’t want the job of putting a comic book together. Didn’t think comic books intimated print shops but Danny has been the BEST. He makes it seem so easy taking our worries away especially when we come to him with last minute projects like having an art exhibit the very next day… Yikes but still manages to get it done same day. Highly recommend Cantu Graphics. Will be getting our wedding necessities done here. 5 thumbs up if I had more thumbs.

My fiancé has been doing business with Cantu for several years and has always been pleased with their work and professionalism. So after getting quotes on wedding invitations from a couple of other places and then talking with Manny (the owner) and Kevin (the designer), we decided to get a quote and some proofs from Cantu. We had some ideas about how to customize the invitations and the enclosures (response and information cards) so worked closely with Manny and Kevin from beginning to end. Manny really knows his business and was able to make our concept a reality. And Kevin did the same with our design ideas, including creating a graphic from a picture of a lighthouse on the beach where our wedding will be. He captured the detail so well that my Father recognized it as the Gurnet Lighthouse when he saw the invitation! The bottom line is they did a terrific job and we are thrilled to be sending out invitations that we love and to have saved some money.
And, by the way, when we were throwing a surprise 85th birthday party for my Father Cantu took a picture of him and made a fantastic banner that we hung from the ceiling for the party. They’ve kept it as a keepsake and have it hanging in their home office.
Also kudos to Manny’s brother, Danny, Dario, and Brianna.
I highly recommend Cantu for your printing work. They do fabulous work and are a pleasure to work with.

I needed a 20×30 poster asap because I’m a last min person. I called in and Danny told me to email him the file to get it printed within the few hours. When I got there, my print was ready and I needed to print some other files on my own paper. I didn’t realize my sizing was wrong so he let me use his computer to fix it! Danny was very helpful and I’ll definitely go back!

Printed with Cantu Graphics twice for wedding invites and I am absolutely a fan. My brides love the quality of the print and their reasonable prices and I, as a designer, love their professionalism. Manny is a pleasure to work with and his team is extremely knowledgable. Cantu Graphics will definitely remain my go-​to printer for designs and I highly recommend their services.

In a rush to get a poster printed where everywhere else couldn’t do it I was referred here. This place is really great. I needed to get a 36×48 in poster printed by 5am the next morning and I talked to Dario (probably spelled that wrong) who was extremely nice. When they print a poster it’s usually takes them 1day but he worked with me to get it done that day. Their price was cheaper than kinkos/​FedEx but it looked great. Their prices are reasonable and they aren’t pushy to get the more expensive deal. Then when I went to picked it up Dario was kind enough to wrap it in butcher paper and help me out to my car to make it fit. Brianna who helped me at the register was sweet to wait until I checked in and gave me a discount. The team is just sweet, and kind and I will come back with all my printing needs.

I went to this place to have some simple work done, they couldn’t do the work and kept giving me the run around until I forced them to stop wasting my time. Manny basically hid behind his brother Danny after the transaction went down. Don’t waste your time here or if you do I would suggest dealing with Danny.
I can tell you whatever they «can’t do» Manny won’t be honest and up front about it & I can’t help but notice most of the reviewers giving these guys good scores are in single digits as far as reviews given, it’s always good to have a few friends when you’re running a business lol.
