kate ridout2024-09-20A superb service. I took a coloured pencil and graphite drawing to Axminster Printing to print as greetings cards. They did me a test scan of the drawing before I committed to the print run. The final result was a set of really nicely printed cards with an incredibly close colour match to my original artwork - I'm really chuffed!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
