Detailed Analysis
FedEx Office — still called Kinkos by many long-time customers — is the go-to for late-night self-service copying. Their 24-hour locations are genuinely convenient when you need copies at 2 AM before a morning meeting. But for professional print quality, same-day production, and personal service, FedEx Office has some notable limitations.
FedEx Office relies heavily on self-service copiers for walk-in customers. When you need higher-quality work — business cards on thick cardstock, booklets with professional binding, or color-accurate marketing materials — those jobs are typically sent out to centralized production facilities. That means 3-5 day turnaround times and limited ability to proof or adjust your project in person.
PostNet Denver CO149 produces everything on site with production-grade equipment. Our G7 Master Certification means the colors in your proof match the colors in your final print. Our team reviews every file before printing and catches issues that self-service kiosks miss entirely — wrong resolution, missing bleeds, RGB-to-CMYK color shifts. That hands-on approach is the difference between a print job and a professional print job.
The Verdict
Choose PostNet Denver if you need professional print quality, accurate brand colors, specialty finishes, or same-day turnaround on production-grade equipment. Choose FedEx Office if you need 24-hour access for self-service copying, or if you need a computer station to work on files late at night.
Choose PostNet Denver if you need:
- Same-day turnaround, no rush fees
- G7 certified brand-accurate colors
- Specialty finishes (gold, silver, white ink)
- Expert file review and physical proofing
Consider FedEx Office if you need:
- 24/7 locations are genuinely useful for last-minute self-service copying
- Self-service computers and copiers let you handle simple jobs independently
- Extensive nationwide network with consistent service at most locations
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PostNet Denver better than FedEx Office for printing?
For professional print quality, yes. PostNet Denver produces everything in-house on G7 certified production presses with same-day turnaround. FedEx Office excels at self-service copying but outsources most quality print jobs, adding days to your timeline.
Does FedEx Office have G7 certification?
No. FedEx Office locations do not hold G7 Master Certification. PostNet Denver is one of fewer than 1,000 G7 certified print facilities in the United States, which means spectrophotometer-verified color accuracy on every job.
Is FedEx Office cheaper than PostNet Denver?
For basic self-service black & white copies, FedEx Office pricing is competitive. For professional printing like business cards, brochures, and banners, PostNet Denver is often the same price or less — and includes same-day turnaround at no extra cost.
Can I get same-day business cards at FedEx Office?
Generally no. FedEx Office outsources business card printing, which typically takes 3-5 business days. PostNet Denver prints business cards same-day on 16pt cardstock with multiple finish options.
Does PostNet Denver offer self-service copiers?
PostNet Denver is a full-service print shop rather than a self-service center. Our team handles your job from file to finish, which results in better quality and catches errors that self-service copying misses. Most jobs are ready in 1-2 hours.
