I have gifted so many pieces of mine, arriving in pristine condition, always. They have contacted me when my choice of paper (total guessing) was not optimal and really helped me with my decisions. I will only use their printing services for my work. And their turnaround time is always faster even than I would have guessed.

I needed to print my digital art for an art show and my local printer didn't do a good job and cut off pixels with my previous art work so I needed to find someone else and I did some research and found candela and IM SO GLAD. my photo i submitted had a quality problem and a lovely person named Miranda emailed with me multiple times helping me come up with solutions as well and responding quickly and being nice even though I'm not that tech savvy. I will definitely be printing all my work from them in the future and it just arrived in the mail and it's perfec!!! THANK YOU
Thank you very much for the comments and we appreciate the opportunity to work with you on your print project!

Great work. Very happy with their product. I had several of my paintings converted to a digital format and they came out perfectly. Hard to tell the difference between the original and the reproduction. Very happy 😊
Thank you Martin - we enjoyed working on your project very much 💛 Thank you for your feeback.

I brought in 12 (6 each visit) oil pastel drawings on white background for capture and test prints. I was told there would always be a grayish background. It took 3 weeks for them to get to each order. Each time I spent at least 3 hours color proofing on site with a tech who seemed disgruntled by the color corrections. And I was still left feeling dissatisfied with my prints. So I took my prints to Berkeley Giclee, and within 2 weeks Tony re-scanned all my originals, with no waiting onsite or personal input other than "Can you improve on this?". He also cleared all the backgrounds so that my images popped beautifully (no grayish backgrounds afterall!). All equal to less cost than Candella. I wish I had known about Berkeley Giclee and Tony's superior equipment and dedication from the start.
Hi Leigh,
My sincere apologies that your experience with our company in December/January was unsatisfactory.
Your review indicates that turnaround, accuracy, and costs are the reasons for your disappointment. You are correct that at the height of the busy holiday season, compounded by Covid-19 restrictions, turnarounds slowed down significantly compared to now.
The equipment we use is highly regarded for scanning and printing artwork. We pride ourselves on the quality of our services and always welcome an open dialogue with our clients. We were unaware that you were unhappy with the final results and always prefer to work with our clients to resolve any issues that we can.

I needed a quick turnaround and a high quality scan of artwork for the cover of my upcoming book "canvas" and Candela Fine Art Printing came through for me. For a service like this where you are trusting a company with one of a kind original art I did a lot of research before finding Candela. I'll definitely be using them again. As a bonus their location is super convenient (just off the highway) and has free parking in downtown Oakland.

The staff at Candela is so knowledgeable and extremely helpful. It was my first time showing my fine art photography and Ana was so gracious and patient in walking me all the paper options and sizing of the photos. As a result I felt confident leaving my work in their hands, and the photos came out exactly as I imagined. Although it was an investment for me, I felt the customer service, quality of work and quick turnaround time was way more value than I paid for. Thank you Candela, thank you Ana and the rest of the team! I will definitely be back and will continue to recommend you to my clients.

I was looking for a print shop to make reproductions of watercolor paintings. They were friendly, knowledgable, and overall wonderful to work with. The prints turned out excellent - I had to look really carefully to see which was the original and which was a print.
Ana had a great eye for detail and quickly made a few edits at the proof stage to get the final prints exactly how I hoped. I brought my baby along each time I went and they even kindly kept her entertained while I reviewed proofs.
Their prices are fair, their work is wonderful, and they are professional but very friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to make high quality prints!
Thanks Ema for the very kind and thoughtful review!
Ana and I really enjoyed working with you too, and of course meeting the baby! Hope to see you both soon.

From my first experience with Candela, back in it's more modest location, I have continually been impressed and satisfied. Every time, without exception, 100%. The business has understandably grown since then. it would be ideal if most services were so consistently good.
Most importantly the quality of their output, for me, has been unmatched. I'm a painter who is passionate about offering identical reproductions of my work. On some occasions, before I came upon Candela, I felt that I had to compromise with 'close enough'. This group of professionals have nailed it every time for me, and in a timely manner.
Secondly, I am glad that I can afford to use them because their costs are more than fair. Surprisingly so as a matter of fact considering the quality.
And thirdly, the cherry on top, they are friendly. They need not be so for me to come here, I'd use their service anyhow, but it makes the experience that much sweeter. If you have any doubts, I recommend that you dont. A first rate business that is sincerely commendable.
Thanks again folks.

Saw some comments on here that are just alt-right people trolling. This place is great, really satisfied with they’re printing and scanning. They helped me so much with choosing paper and advice on piezo printing. Very patient and flexible with meeting and working one on one. First time printing and you get 10% off.

I signed up for Yelp specifically to leave this company the best review possible. They deserve it. If you're looking for quality work from absolute professionals at a fair cost and timely deadline, have no doubts. They've delivered for me 100% with a friendliness that is so very refreshing. I wish every business was like this.

Since others who have never utilized this establishments’ facilities are “keyboard warriors” for an “artist” call to outrage (jon Proby) and attempting to use the platform of reviews to (being obviously uninformed ) compare a bakery in CO in 2017 (federal vs state law in the constitution actually siding with refusal of bakery’s service in the Supreme Court case of a gay couple’s cake) of an “us VS them” here’s 5 stars.

I had 4 slides scanned at 8,000dpi. I could not be happier with the result. My slides were 42 years old and the results were much better than I had hoped. I am about to send a dozen slides for scanning and next year another dozen at least. Brad does excellent work.
