Cheap photocopies in Vancouver
 
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any cheap photocopy shops around the Lower Mainland. Looks like nobody has started a thread on this.

By "cheap" I mean 5c or less per copy (black + white).

In particular I am looking for one near Victoria + 54th, but if you know of any around the city, post 'em here. :)

So I'll start.. there's one on the north side of Broadway, around Maple. It's just east of the Frog and Firkin.

are you looking to photocopy notes, a textbook, or papers?

i heard a chinese place in richmond where you can just leave them the textbook and they photocopy for you.

slammer111 03-27-2011 09:59 PM

^ No no no, just a few sheets here and there, such as a passport application, or some tax forms for example. No textbooks, but if you know a place that does 'em, I'm sure some RSers wouldn't mind knowing. ;)

I think libraries charge 5 cent each, unless price changed?

Wongtouski 03-27-2011 10:11 PM

Just go to Staples and lie about how many pages you've copied. They never ever check.

But generally speaking they're quite cheap anyways.

Slifer 03-27-2011 10:25 PM

There is a photocopy shop near Hastings and Slocan that charges 2.9 cents per page.

buy a scanner/printer. Sounds like in the long run you will save way more time.

f00tzilla 03-28-2011 12:24 AM

there's a bunch of places on broadway / cypress i think ... SML printing or something like that used to charge 2.5 cents a page (i dont know if they do anymore)

maxxxboost 03-28-2011 02:21 AM

SML is where i went to get stuff printed.

Err dude if you are just going to do a few photocopies here and there, shouldn't you be looking for the CLOSEST photocopy place? The difference between 5c a sheet and 25c a sheet for 5 pages isnt even enough to buy a Twix bar these days.

While I dont like to overpay for things, the cheapness of some of the people on this forum absolutely blows my mind.

like lowside67 said....if its just a few copies then just find the closest place...in fact, i dont think those cheap pricing kicks in for any of the places unless u are copying like 200+ pages or something?

anyway, i used to go to this place with my ex at like 11PM called Imprint Graphics & Copying at 1935 Broadway

best thing is that it opens 24/7 as i recall

LOL you have to meet slammer, he's the cheapest SOB I've ever met :) He'd probably hand copy the pages to save $$$.

You'd think he'd spend more in gas to find cheap photocopies, then you'd realize he'd walk there just to save even more!

Gnomes 03-28-2011 06:25 PM

The money spent from the gas of driving your car from Victoria+54th to elsewhere will actually cost more than saving that extra 2 or 3 cents for your 10 page documents.

jackmeister 03-28-2011 06:45 PM

the cheapest solution:

find a friend with a scanner and printer

nosaj 03-29-2011 11:15 AM

^nah man...cheapest solution is to take pictures of them so that way you don't have to print out anything....


then you open those pictures with your brand new ipad2:troll:

If you read my original post, I AM looking for the closest place, to Victoria + 54th. :failed: A for effort though.

There's gotta be a store that does these things within a few blocks of this intersection. Hoping someone local will know.

:stfu: I did read your useless first post, you post a shop nowhere near your intersection, ask if people have them anywhere in the lower mainland, etc. Dont be ashamed, cheapie!
