University Copy & Print

University Copy’s new location is a breeze to find now that it has moved to 8301 Folsom Blvd. Recently, Sunita completed two important projects for me – both timely and the best quality around. The first was a bound photo book, which made my photos look much brighter and sharper than I could imagine. The second was Save-​the-​Date cards — which she creatively customized! She offers great suggestions, and makes sure you are 100 percent pleased with your project. Prices are lower than most places and turn-​around is fast. The shop offers many services, including litigation copies, large format, binding, and quality printing for manuals, posters and more. Their website is helpful in explaining art guidelines and options in placing orders online. This place is fantastic!

I love this place! My company uses them for all of our printing and business card orders and they are always on top of things. They are very friendly, fast and efficient and very communicative! This company bends over backwards to meet all your deadlines, and Sunita, Ramesh and Victoria and the rest of their staff are all very great and helpful! They always do great work and are willing to correct any mistakes that are found…
They are located in the Safeway Plaza on the corner of Howe/​Fair Oaks, you have to go down the little alley in between Starbucks and Citi Bank and they will be on the right side.

A quick update: service is still stellar, quality excellent and price very reasonable. We’ve had numerous print jobs done by University Copy & Print since my last review, from business cards, posters, training manuals, post cards and more. Everything has come out fantastic. When one poster was accidentally reproduced in a slightly smaller size than we wanted, they cheerfully printed a replacement at no charge. It’s truly a pleasure doing business with them!

Wow, I stumbled across University Copy & Print recently after a work associate recommended them. How long have I shoveled money into the Kinko’s furnace over the years, when University Copy & Print has been in my own back yard. University Copy & Print is conveniently located at the corner of Howe Avenue and Fair Oaks Boulevard (behind Bandera Restaurant) and their prices and service are fantastic. They are half the price of Kinkos and they are family owned. They are so very nice and pleasant to work with. I just email them whatever files I need printed, and voila, they are perfectly printed at a very affordable price when I arrive to pick them up. They have been printing hundreds and hundreds of flyers for me and I’m so impressed with their friendly service and excellent pricing. The owners purchased the business a few years ago, so if you haven’t been there since they acquired the business, give them a try. You will be glad you you found them when you did, and sorry you didn’t find them sooner.

eh. $ 25 for a text that was put together by the professor with no special details. The out of sight location, and unsightly lobby are two additional reasons I would never pay to have printed materials bound here.

i was reluctant to do business with them, but I was amazed by the service they provided. They shipped my coupons and flyers next day and that too free shipping. So the reviews already there are of the old owner. Now the management has changed. I would recommend give them a chance, you will see yourself how quick the service is. I was missing out for a ling time to get such a quick service.

THIS BIZ IS UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP… Go give them another try. Print quality for my vivid colors has been higher than other printers :)

I agree. The owner is quite hostile. I’m not going back.

Very rude service in a way I havent seen in a long time! I went in here to just use a 3 hole punch because I forgot to have something done at the other copy store I use. I asked if I could 3 hole punch some of my copies and the man in there was very rude to me! After I said that I had some copies done at the UPS store and I forgot to finish them he said something like «why don’t you go there…» in a rude fashion. I told him that it was farther than this current store (I had stopped for a Starbucks coffee and at Safeway). Then his helper tried to look for a 3 hole punch and couldn’t find it and looked upset that she was having to even help me. Then he said something like «JUST GO TO THE UPS STORE» in a tone like «GET OUT OF MY STORE NOW»… WOW… I havent been treated so poorly in a VERY long time. I will never go back here again. TERRIBLE SERVICE. Needless to say, I didn’t get done what I needed to get done at this shop.

every time i’ve gone here i’ve had terrible prints made, and i’ve seen good stuff made from them which i thought was a fluke … one time after spending a hour or so patiently waiting to have prints made for a poster the carbon would rub right off a print that had hours to dry, i was embaressed selling them .
another time i just found it cheaper and less trouble to ship my art out to new york and make perfect high quality flawless prints with another. owner can be nice at times other times he comes off as you’re holding him up or acts unpatient. tried them a few times but no more. i will just spend the money and ship out or deal with kinkos

Hilariously rude service from a grumpy, grumpy man. Makes me want to get a hidden camera in there. He’d be a youtube sensation with his «Why do this customers insist on bugging me?» attitude. Unfortunately they’re the only place I’ve found in town with a large scanner and printer for making large posters.
I was supposed to receive a call when my order was done. I was getting dangerously close to my deadline and no call. So, I called them to see if my order was ready. I get an impatient, «Yeah, it’s sitting right here.»
I had hired them to make me some posters off of some classic comedy album covers. He brings out my posters but forgets to bring me my albums. I jokingly say, «Hey, I know they’re good records, but I will need them back.»
He answers, «I’ve heard all of these before. None of them are funny.»
I look for the smile or laugh but there is none. Oh well, no crime in being a character. Then the fun starts.
«How do you want these cut?» he barks.
«About an inch around.»
«THEY WON’T BE EXACT OR I’M CHARGING EXTRA!»
«That’s fine.»
«SHIT! I CUT THIS ONE WRONG, IT WON’T MATCH THE OTHERS.»
«Well, I need it to match.»
«WELL I CAN REPRINT IT BUT IT’S GONNA TAKE TIME.»
He waits for some response from me but I have no idea how to respond. Of course he needs to reprint, he butchered it. I told him the day before that I was on a tight deadline and he said it was fine.
With no feedback from me, he starts trying to reprint it but isn’t finding the file. Keeps trying and bitching and grumbling.
«Um… I’m sorry but I don’t have time for this. I have to go. I’ll just have to take it as is.»
Ignores me, continues looking.
«Hey, I have to go.»
«ALRIGHT! I’LL GIVE YOU FOUR BUCKS OFF!»
I know that I need the posters and I have a show that nights so I want to maintain some calm. I say «Fine.»
He does the only cool thing of the visit and says, «Just take the one I screwed up. I won’t charge you for that one.» While him actually managing to do what I hired and trusted him to do would’ve been better, I was glad to at least not be paying for the poster I couldn’t use.

Wow. What horrible customer service. I have been going there for months because I am new to the printing game and was happy that they produced quickly, but it was never quite up to par quality wise. Then hit an all time low last week when yet again their printers were so out of calibration (or whatever the deal is there), that my gradients didn’t work, the colors were way off (looked like 30% grey, when it was 90% when I printed the same thing before) and last but not least, my CAD drawings had a halo effect.
The rep there (you know who she is — the sour-​faced blond woman who acts like asking her to print something is asking her to scrub toilets in Iraq) is extremely rude every time I go in there and the owner yelled from the back that he can’t help me (he’s a womanizer who is all over my girlfriend, but acts like I don’t exist when I go in there). Also, he hangs out on the phone at the front desk and makes his account collection calls so you can hear someone’s private financial matters being displayed for everyone to hear. TACKY! When I showed my professor my CAD drawings, she was like, «I understand. I know that place and they are awful. They think they’ve got you.» Well, they don’t got me. I am never setting foot in there again.

This shop has the nicest folks working there. Even if you put in a really tiny order over email they are great about calling to let you know when it’s done. They’re open on Saturdays, they take FedEx packages, they pay attention to detail. and if for some reason you have to wait, you can always check out those really cool posters, photographs, and music memorabilia.
