Josh at Katalyst Ko was so great to work with!!! So easy to connect with and get him all the information. He even rush ordered our T-shirts so that they were ready in time for our event, and dropped them off at our school. When they came, the students were literally so excited because of the high-quality and comfort of the T-shirts and how incredible they looked. We can’t wait to wear them for our school all year! We will definitely be going to him in the future when we need t shirts printed because of the efficiency and quality of printing and shirts. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Owner's reply
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled you had a great experience with Josh providing you excellent service, and that the T-shirts were a hit with the students! We look forward to helping you with future orders!

Exceptional service, especially on an impossible deadline! I cannot say enough good things about Josh at Katalyst Ko Printshop. I needed a custom conference tablecloth with our Leadership Pipeline Institute logo produced, completed, and shipped to Chicago in just three days. Before finding Josh, I contacted seven other vendors, and every one of them told me it couldn’t be done. Josh’s response was completely different: “Yes, we can do it.” And he delivered. He was incredibly responsive and easy to work with, even working late to make sure our design was exactly what we wanted and that everything stayed on schedule. He also went above and beyond by offering suggestions for improving our overall booth setup, including recommending table risers to help our display stand out—and he did so simply because he wanted us to have the best result possible. The finished tablecloth looked fantastic, arrived in Chicago on time, and completely elevated our conference booth. His pricing was very reasonable, particularly considering the turnaround time and level of service. It’s rare to find a local business that combines this level of responsiveness, quality, creativity, and genuine customer care. Josh absolutely earned our future business, and Leadership Pipeline Institute will definitely be using Kyoto Printing again. Highly recommend! — Autumn Rawlins Vice President, Leadership Pipeline Institute

Owner's reply
Autumn, thank you for your kind words! They mean a lot, especially coming from someone who had already heard "no" from SEVEN OTHER SHOPS! Wow. When you called, I could hear how much this conference mattered to you and your team. Leadership Pipeline Institute is investing in the next generation of leaders, and I wanted you to walk into that room proud of how your booth looked. Helping you get there was a privilege and an honor! I'm grateful you took a chance on a local shop, and I hope the conference was everything you hoped it would be. Looking forward to helping you and your Team build your brand as you grow! - Josh @ Katalyst Ko Printshop | Planted in Mesa, AZ

Katalyst Ko Printshop did an awesome job on our tshirts for a bachelor trip. We needed them pretty quickly and they came through with a fast turnaround. They even helped us clean up the design before printing. Shirts turned out great!

Owner's reply
Appreciate it, Daniel! These bachelor party shirts were a fun one to work on. Glad we could help clean up the design, get everything printed, and still hit the quick turnaround you needed. Really appreciate you trusting Katalyst Ko with the shirts — hope they were a hit on the trip! - Josh @ Katalyst Ko Printshop | Serving Mesa and the Greater Phoenix Area

Josh is amazing to work with! The custom t-shirts and hats that he had made for my golf business are awesome. I also had him do my business cards and some coupon cards. They turned out exactly how I was hoping they would. Affordable, timely, and premium quality with everything I’ve had done. Highly recommend any of your print or signage to be done in the hands of Josh at Katalyst ko!

Owner's reply
Thanks so much! I’ve really enjoyed getting to work with you and help bring everything together for your golf business. From the custom shirts and hats to the business cards and coupon cards, it’s been great seeing the brand come together. One of my favorite parts of what we do is getting to support other local Phoenix East Valley businesses as they grow. Really appreciate you continuing to trust Katalyst Ko with it! - Josh @ Katalyst Ko Printshop | Planted in Mesa, AZ and serving Gilbert businesses

Josh is incredible! We’re a very small business and he has treated us as if we’re a Fortune 500 client. Also, the final product is of the highest quality and delivered on time and on spec. Just an amazing and professional experience start to finish! Thanks Josh!

We had such a great experience working with Josh and the team at Katalyst Ko for our Abide Church merch! From the very beginning, Josh was incredibly thorough and intentional throughout the design process. He took the time to understand our vision, walk us through our options, and help us find the right balance between quality and cost. We never felt like we were simply placing an order - he genuinely cared about making sure we were happy with the final products and that everything represented our church and brand well. The merch turned out amazing, and seeing our designs come to life was so exciting. But what truly set Josh and Katalyst Ko apart was the level of customer service and dedication they showed us. We were working toward an important deadline for our church’s Vision Night, and Josh went above and beyond to make sure we had everything in time. He literally hopped on a plane, flew to San Diego, and personally hand-delivered our merch so we would have it for our event! That level of commitment is rare and says so much about the way Josh values his customers and stands behind his work. The quality of the products was great, the process was thoughtful and collaborative, and the customer service exceeded our expectations. We are incredibly grateful to Josh and the Katalyst Ko team for helping bring our vision to life. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for quality custom merch and a company that truly cares about the people they work with. We will 100% be coming back to Katalyst Ko for future Abide Church projects!

Owner's reply
Heather, thank you so much for your kind words! Getting to work with you guys on the Abide Church merch was such a fun project, and I’m really grateful you trusted us with something as important as Vision Night. We definitely didn’t plan on the project ending with me hopping on a plane to San Diego with suitcases of merch 😂, but there was no way we were going to let you guys head into Vision Night empty-handed! It means a lot that you chose to work with Katalyst Ko from California. We loved helping bring the Abide merch to life and can’t wait to see what we get to create with you guys next! And more importantly, we're so excited for what God is building in Oside with and through Abide Church!!
