Nice people. Good banner print jobs. Price seemed good. Best thing about this place is speed. Got my banner printed same day. Cheers.

I stumbled upon this on my walk to Chickpea. I saw the writing on the (glass) wall… without using the largest fonts, but large enough, it advertised how it could handle all my printing needs.
I said okay, let’s see what it got against the love-​to-​hate Kinkos.
Here’s what I wanted… I had a USB jump-​flash-​disk drive. On it was a document (PDF) spanning a whole 2 pages. I needed it print and was going to go to Kinko’s after finishing work at a client (and no, I couldn’t print there as it was personal and not related to work).
But I was walking to Chickpea for lunch and come across this little storefront. I thought, «great, I can get it done now and not drive to Kinko’s afterwards (even though it was on my way, I hate parking around there in rush hour).
I go in. It has a nice hanging sign instead of a wall. Except the sign was only half the width of the store, so you still could see the back. The interior isn’t really much to write about. Its spartan, couple of sad looking copiers.
I go in, and someone comes and asks me what I need done. I ask if they would be able to print my PDF document. Couple pages. Regular paper size. Black & White. She confirmed and went to ask in the back. A couple of minutes later, and she tells me the cost. $ 5. Yep. Five bucks for a couple of pages.
I left.
Kinko charges $ 0.10 per copy! Seriously. And Kinko’s has a machine that reads your USB along with your CC so you can view the PDF at the copier.
I don’t know what they are thinking, but all she needed to do was plug it in her computer and hit print. It shouldn’t be five bucks. It shouldn’t even be a buck!
I would give it one star, but I don’t know how their prices compare to banners and other projects, which supposedly they specialize. Shop around before setting on this place.
