The Print Merchant

About Us

 We first started in 1987 in La Jolla, California. We operated Postal Plus Copy Shop on Ivanhoe Avenue next to the post office. A couple years later we started our first print shop, called "Mr Ink" on Herschel Avenue, also in La Jolla. As we became more involved with the community we began publishing the  "La Jolla Press", a local newspaper dedicated to promoting the businesses in the Village area.  

 For the last thirteen years we have called ourselves The Print Merchant,  offering all the services you expect from a printing company, but with the added benefit of free pickup and delivery.

We are located in a commercial building and do not have a store front for walk in customers. That is why we can offer  lower prices. You benefit with lower prices and free delivery in San Diego.  We save you both time and money!

        Comments from our customers:

An absolutely professional full service printer, The Print Merchant, reviewed what we'd been paying for our printing, cut our costs down by 15%, and we've been with them ever since. We'd been with a large chain printing company and because of the service, quality, and price have switched to the Print Merchant for all of our print needs - from black and white pocket guides to 1400 page full-color specifications manuals. They've reviewed how we've designed certain manuals and made them easier to read and more professional looking. They've even gone over the best way to package our print jobs so that they ship to our customers exactly as if they'd picked them up in our store. We recommend the Print Merchant without hesitation. Thanks Guys!

From the moment we began working with The Print Merchant, the quality of our general printing and the Programs for our public performances has gone up, and the costs have gone down.  He offers outstanding personal service, attention to the smallest detail, including always having the job ready on time. We highly recommend The Print Merchant.
