![]() I apologise for the Pantone promiscuity.) The flat swathes of colour don’t look like a second-year textile-design-student’s weekend (no-lines!). (I-regrettably in 20/20 hindsight-did, once, in 2018. Then we found Trendz and haven’t looked anywhere else yet. We were worried about finding passable quality printers in Kozhikode moving in, in 2014. Printing is meant to be hit-or-miss (hit-and-miss) in most small-ish towns. The point is that printing at Trendz is much more exciting than it theoretically has any right to be. I haven’t asked for a quotation for that, yet. ![]() Trendz can print on off-the-menu-paper if you promise to bring it (the paper). Trendz can print and frame photos on canvas. Trendz can print white (and silver, and gold) on all kinds of paper and not-paper. Trendz (Flash? TrendzFlash? FlashPrint? I never get that right or anywhere near consistent you will see.) is a big-ish floor of discerning (but mostly-for no fault of the shop’s-restless) people seeking print-outs (mostly Xeroxed copies of huge A1 sized architectural drawings, lanyards of pretty colours, large sheets of business cards that most definitely need to fit into A3-express-es and not just A3s, etcetera), unimaginable-otherwise-ly patient designer-DTP-professionals who know what they are doing and are in no hurry to let you know they know, the odd Errando person who is amused and restless in turn (thanks to how crowded and how on edge the rest of us leave the floor), etcetera. That brings us, conveniently, to this thinly disguised love-letter to our friendly neighbourhood print-shop in Kozhikode. It is rare for a printer to be consistently good at what they do at prices that aren’t approaching personal-scribe levels of indulgence. It isn’t often (more like never than ever) one looks forward to seeing a PDF that has gone to the printer come back all inked and kissing paper in ways nicer than what the screen approximates. ![]() Great print-shops don’t just print well they reciprocate your love for print. ![]()
