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.

^ 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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

the cheapest solution:
find a friend with a scanner and printer

^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:

MarkIf 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!
