We have used Rapid Ray's to produce 100 - 200 3-ring binders filled with dividers (customized) and papers (single and double sided) on two occasions. The work they did was superb and the job completed ahead of schedule. I got prices for our projects from other printers and none came close to the value Rapid Ray's offers. I highly recommend this business.

Great to find a place on my way to City Hall rather than in the opposite direction. Fast, friendly service.

Steve and his crew totally rock! We needed new cards for a trade show we were scheduled for the next day. I sent them my camera ready art. We had the cards in hand two hours later! They always do next day, and often they do better. Oh yeah...and their prices are very very fair.
