We came to TLAC for an end of year publication that we needed for a specific date. We followed all the protocols on our end and submitted on time. TLAC had never used the software before, and did not see our submission. I followed up... with a phone call (after about a day as I had not heard from them and wanted to ensure things were moving forward. I was told that they could not see it. Ultimately after another day had passed their IT person downloaded the software and found it. Because they were unfamiliar with the new software they acquired, their delay in locating a file (we submitted on time) resulted in a late submission. They refused to help speed up production stating it wasn’t received by them till the date they located it. Ultimately the production of the publication was late and we were unable to distribute this at our final year end event. We are still quite frustrated that we submitted a document on time and met our timelines but, because they had not taken the time to learn the newly acquired software they had purchased, that we were affected by it.I still can’t understand why they couldn’t speed up production by a couple of days as there were no changes made to our document. In fact when we raise the issue that we had submitted on time and that it wasn’t us that caused the delay, they seemed to get their back up and made a point of holding us to their production timelines, and the publication was released to us to the exact min of their timeline. Which was two days late for our needs.Their printing quality is excellent, but their lack of comprehension of their contribution to the situation and their stern response of adhering to their timeline, in a situation that needed flexibility and finesse, resulted in us paying over $3000, for something that was not ready for our event.read more

My friends and I chose TLAC to print our first ever anthology project because we wanted to support local business and were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of both customer service and the product we received! If you're nervous... about working with a publisher for the first time (as we certainly were), the representatives at TLAC are extremely patient, informative, and caring about helping you print the best project you possibly can. Would strongly recommend TLAC for any fellow creatives hoping to print within Toronto!read more

Really fantastic customer service! From the start they had me in for a consult where I could see the different kinds of paper and binding I could use for my book. They laid everything out for me and took time to explain all of the options.... Super responsive over email, and affordable pricing. They were incredibly helpful with my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. Overall a great experience! I recommend printing here.read more

This was my first experience in publishing a piece of literary fiction. The timing - during the covid pandemic - might have resulted in service challenges. Not with TLAC.

I can't imagine having a better experience. Thanks!read more

The choice of where, and by whom, to have your very first literary venture published isn't an easy one. After a long search, I chose TLAC Toronto Printing and Publishing for my novella, 'They Also Serve'. This decision was one of the best... I've made in my entire life! Right from my first phone conversation with Eleanor Reader, my TLAC contact, I was convinced I'd made the right choice. The scope of work covered my needs comprehensively and the cost was absolutely in line.My - often detailed - requests for corrections and amendments to my text were noted punctiliously. TLAC's suggestions for formatting were thoughtful and the paper quality, the print and, especially, the cover design are all absolutely superb! Eleanor kept me posted promptly on progress every step of the way until the, 'magic moment' when my shipment of books arrived a few days ago!I have no hesitation in saying that my collaboration with TLAC was an outstanding success and I recommend this company unreservedly to any self-publishing author.read more

I recently had a novel self-published at TLAC and found Mark a dream to work with. He walked me through each step of the process and patiently answered all of my many questions along the way. I am so pleased with the end product and have... gotten so many compliments on the profesional look of the book. A concern I had while looking for a self-publisher was the quality of the binding but I had nothing to worry about with TLAC. Mark even had my books delivered by another courier when I told him about the bad luck I had with the first one. I definitely plan to use TLAC again in the future.read more

I've published 4 books with TLAC for my father, who is a keen essay writer. Each time the experience has been fast and easy. The staff is very responsive to my questions and helped me with my own problems with formatting. The designers... took my vague directions and turned them into gorgeous covers for each book. I worried that in this pandemic, the service might be disrupted, but my fourth book was produced seamlessly, within a tight deadline. The final copies were delivered directly to my father, who was utterly thrilled.read more

If I had an option to give 10 stars to TLAC, I’d gladly do so.I needed to print my comic zine to attend a local comic festival. I was going to use another local company but I happened to know Mark and decided to go with them right away... because for one, he is the coolest guy and he explained that TLAC has a lot of experience in printing big comic books.I’m not going to lie; the timeline was pretty tight. But the turn-out was incredibly quick and precise. In and out, they walked me through the printing process promptly and made sure each important point nailed down before proceeding to the next step.The outcome was amazing. We used high-res png files for this project. And I know in my experience that the printed colour can be inaccurate or ugly with png (png is originally intended for web-use, not print-use) depending on the print shop you use. When I make my books (I’m a published author in Japan), colour-check is a big part of the whole process. They did a fantastic job in such short notice. It was so fantastic that the organizer of the comic festival and other artists asked me which print shop I used.I’d recommend TLAC to anybody anytime. I honestly think I would ever use other print shops for my comic/comic related project again.read more

I took one of the newly bound books over to one of the priests in our retirement facility. He was overjoyed to see the new binding and was very pleased to have his own copy of the “new” book. He told me “Having this book in my possession makes me want to read it again … and I shall do that.” Mike, working with you is a pleasure. You all have done several jobs for me over the past few years. Always, the cost is reasonable and the work is first class. .read more

This has been our third year printing festival materials with TLAC Toronto... for our organization and I can honestly say that the quality of product and service that the TLAC Team offers is phenomenal.

I was worried about my honours thesis poster getting done in before the... weekend, and the TLAC definitely saved my day! My poster was done within 3 hours, the quality was perfect, and the staff were incredibly helpful! Although they are more expensive than my university's printing cost, it was worth it! Something that matters a lot to me is a quick response time, which they did really well with.read more

I used TLAC to help me print a family history and was very pleased with... the result. From start to finish, they were highly professional and responsive in guiding me through the process. It was very helpful to be able to meet with the book's designer, Mike, in person several times on the way through. His creativity was integral to the quality of the overall product, which resulted in both a hard cover and soft cover version. I would highly recommend TLAC to anyone undertaking a similar project.

I had to do a short print run and the previous printer in Montreal did a... horrible job. I called TLAC and there were so accommodating. I told TLAC that I had to get the review copies out as soon as possible and they were able to accommodate my request. I am so happy with the final copies. Judge for yourselves. The copies on the left are from TLAC and the copies on the right are from the unnamed printer in Montreal. Thank you John!read more

I absolutely appreciated the quickness, efficiency and professionalism... that I received from the staff at TLAC. Derrick K. was especially patient with my (many) changes. I wrote my 1st children's book and was impressed with how fast they were able to fill a large order. My children's book tackles child sexual abuse and I wanted a beautiful book to present to little readers. I received that from TLAC. I will definitely use them in the future.read more
