Darko Print Shop

I don't really use Yelp often, and I really hate to give a 1-star review for a business that I technically haven't even had business with yet, but I was so unimpressed with my first email correspondence with Darko Printshop that I had to just make a statement about it.I've been running an online clothing store since August 2016, and have worked with several screenprinters locally in Albuquerque (as well as in California and Washington now) to have my shirts created and printed for my designs. I would generally approach screenprinting businesses with an email inquiry regarding my request, and each time I have been met with timely replies and professionalism. I had a small volume request that I had to make and noticed on Yelp that there were positive reviews with Darko regarding low quantity orders that were able to be quickly fulfilled, so I thought I would give them a try. I went to their site and made a request for a free quote.Not even five minutes later, I received an email reply back with a SINGLE word, "Nope". I have been declined requests from other screenprinters before due to availability but I have never had a print shop that simply dismissed my request with a single word, let alone no explanation or insight as to why. I even sent a response right back asking if they could elaborate on why they declined my request and have since not heard back. Ultimately, despite the positive reviews on Yelp, I was rather displeased by the unprofessional reply they gave me, as if me and my business was not worth their time or effort.I hope that perhaps with this review they will be more mindful and professional when responding to customer requests. I do not plan on trying again to give Darko Printshop my business.

Twas two weeks before Christmas, and all throughout Albuquerque...I was scrambling for a great gift for the in-laws...Well, back to Darko's...wow. So, i actually called 5 other locations in town, all in the same genre/industry, "hey we'll customize a shirt for you, fast etc, blah, blah, blah...but when I spoke to all 5 of these locations, they all turned me away...especially once i told them it was only (2) shirts i needed done and i needed them by Christmas. Carlos from Darko's however, took on the job. I emailed him some photos, highlighting the two i thought would be best to put on the shirts and he got to work. I was actually out of town, traveling and when i got back, we firmed up the job. And to note, i wanted to o a ore expensive route, full corlor, etc...but Carlos made some professional recommendations that ended up turning out better and, was much more cost effective. Carlos' professionalism, timelines and most importantly, willingness to take on a very small job during a very busy time of year, speaks volumes about him as a person and how he treats/prioritizes his business and customers! Well Done! I was so grateful to him, obviously...given this was a last minute idea, albeit sincere, but totally last minute...and he pulled it off. The shirts look amazing! Once Grandma opens them Christmas morning, I'll nab a few pics and post them...i forgot to take a pic before putting them under the tree :). Thank you Carlos - Merry Christmas!

I ordered shirts for my friends baseball team and they turned out great. I've been using Darko for awhile and find they do what they say they'll do and always deliver as promised. Very professional, qualified and real nice folks.Thank you!Buddy C. Bernallio county, NM

This company makes the best shirts!! I was hooked the second I found them on Instagram. I ordered a T-shirt from website and it was at my doorstep 3 days later. The shirt fit great and was a really nice soft cotton. Looooove my new shirt. Thanks!!!

Excellent!Very friendly, professional and trustworthy..As a graphic artist. I have worked with multiple printshops in CA and AZ. The folks at Darko are excellent. My shirts came out exactly as I wanted, with the fine details in my design perfectly printed. Some shops are not able to get close or can't do it all.. Thank you guys so much.Malcolm ..

I had two cotton running t-shirts that I needed to reproduce on technical running shirts (that breathe a lot better than cotton). Darko didn't make me buy a batch and the quality of the new running shirts is great! The price was reasonable and they turned it around within a week, which is pdq for such a small order. I will definitely use Darko again for future prints!

They did an awesome job with some shirts for a family reunion. I used them again for a company function and they succeeded once again in satisfying everyone. They were able to give great suggestions that made the project even better than my original idea but still kept it affordable. I will definitely use them again.
