Good people. ADA is a relatively small company that does really good work. They'll work closely with you to ensure that every detail of your project is just how you want. When we went to pick up the Eddy Dyer CD, they gave us a ride back to the train station and then actually raced the train so we could get on it and get back to Boston in time for a show. They also do online distribution, radio/press promotion, and video production.

Specializes in 3.5"x5.5" postcards (5000 for $250). Full cover front, red & black on back. Good when you need something cheap and easy. If there is anything "unusual" about your artwork (text that bleeds of the page for example) leave very clear explicit instructions. They get nervous when they get non-standard designs, and then they delay your project.

Another fast-cheap postcard printer. Their prices are similar to 1-800-Postcards, but you get a little more (size and quality) for the money. They too, don't handle non-standard jobs very well, so be very clear about what you want if your design doesn't meet their recommendations (if your text bleeds, they won't throw a fit -- they'll just change your design). Look at the online proof VERY carefully. For a cookie-cutter printer, they make good quality postcards, and they work fast (though don't take the "48 Hour" in their name too literally).

Cheap cheap cheap prices! Especially on Black & White and Red & Black stickers. Good quality stickers. Not super fast, though (in our experience, at least), so be sure to place your orders well in advance of when you need them.

Excellent small commercial printer. We've used them several times and they've always done a terrific job.
