City Copy & Print Center

Praz and his family run an incredible copy shop. Praz is always so very friendly and helpful. It’s always a pleasure to work with him. Thank you as always!!!

Great little mom and pop shop with quality service and great prices. Praz is always super helpful, going above and beyond to make sure you get the best deal and the best product. Super friendly and personalized.

When I realized I wouldn’t be available to pick up my prints during the remaining business hours (and I needed them the day of!) I was very kindly offered a home delivery after closing. I’m sure on busier days this would be too much to ask for, but the gesture still speaks to a real dedication to customer service.

My favorite neighborhood copy place! They are so kind, friendly and give fast service.

High quality, speedy, knowledgeable and friendly service! I was able to walk in and get my custom calendars printed in 10 minutes on heavy paper, and at a great resolution. Reasonable prices as well. I highly recommend this shop!

After having disappointing experiences at two big chain print shops conveniently located in my neighborhood, I checked out City Copy & Print Center, and I’ll never go anywhere else now for my printing needs.
I was printing album artwork for a music project, but I’m not a professional designer. Praz, who helped me, was able to refine and perfect my design for the best end product. He was flexible and accommodating with what I was trying to accomplish, and he really knew what he was talking about. He was super quick with his adjustments, and in the end, I got a product I’m really excited about.
I observed him balance my project and multiple other customers with the same level of professionalism and efficiency. The prices were already reasonable, but with the personal attention I got working with Praz, I feel like I got a great deal. I’m really glad I stopped in. I highly recommend giving this local family owned business a chance. I’ll certainly make the extra drive for any of my future printing needs.

The best in the city. Super helpful and friendly, always reliable, and they have all the paper/​binding/​specialty equipment you need. I’ve had a lot done here over the years, from copying huge architectural drawings to printing and binding personal portfolios. They also always seem to come up with an idea to make my project look more professional/​really pop.

Praz is a miracle worker. To tell you how many times we had to change a brochure, and how amazingly patient and easy they were to work with doesn’t begin to tell the story. When you want the job done correctly, with maximum ease and minimum fuss, go to City Copy.

My go-​to print shop in the city. They have good customer service, quality of printing is great and their turn around time is always super fast. I would recommend these guys in a heart beat!

Great family run local business with quick helpful service and low prices. I will be back again for sure!

I needed to have a watercolor painting scanned before taking it to the framer. I was so excited to find this shop just down the block from my house. They were pleasant, helpful and very prompt. They did a great job with my painting ans sent the scan to me via email. I will be coming back often!

Feeling a little burned after basically being forced to pick out and buy items to meet the credit card minimum. I’ve been to this place plenty of times, had great experiences. This time, the machines were in poor working order, and the man at the desk was rather unwavering in his policy (which violates their service contract with visa, but I distress). I’m Ok with one star, they’ve done good in the past. But I won’t be back. I hope the $ 2.00 was worth it.
Update/​Response for Merchant after their patronizing reply:
According to your link, as well as the visa website MINIMUMS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON DEBIT CARDS. (Such as the one I was using for payment) **Read your link!** Please educate your staff and yourself on this matter. Thanks!
In 2015, with card services like square, there really is no excuse for credit card minimums, and as I noted, your services are priced far below $ 4, essentially setting customers up to pay cash or buy things they don’t want to meet your minimum.
Addressing your point for point makes no sense, However, just so you know, I worked in the copy/​print industry for over 12 years, and know that your machines probably need their imaging belt/​drum replaced or cleaned, and that the optics on your self serve machine are off and need a tech to adjust them properly. This is based on the few copies I made.
I can also assure you that I have been in this neighborhood longer than you have, and remember when your location was a hair salon. I’ve been supporting businesses in this neighborhood for well over 27 years. You are welcome.
Hint: Next time you get a negative review on Unilocal,don’t make the mistake of posting a patronizing response, assuming the customer is ignorant.
LAST AND FINAL UPDATE:
I am not interested in much more of this back and forth. I am not accusing your employees of anything. I am stating facts as they are, and making a general complaint in regards to my experience.
If you wanted to protect your business, you should have offered a simple apology! You’ve taken the fool’s route. People read these reviews, and you look very bad at this point. Educate your employees, and service your machines.
Working in a copy shop is not rocket science, and 25 years is the same as one year, by your own logic. You’re not repair techs, and know little more about your machines than a common user. Like I said, call a repair tech, have your optics and imaging belt/​drum looked at. Until then, you’re basically stealing from everyone you charge for prints out of that machine. It is broke. Go fix it.
No, processing my debit card as «credit» does not make your credit card minimum applicable to my debit card. I just thought you were being petty. I know about merchant services, fees, and the costs of doing business.
Your responses are assumptive, pompous, and petty. I’ve sent a few family and friends in the neighborhood to you, but I’lll warn them against it. I’d rather go buy a laser printer or walk an extra 4 – 5 blocks to fed-​ex kinko’s.
«We have various copier/​digital presses with better calibration and registration depending upon nature of your job.» LOL. REALLY?
How sad, black and white copier/​printers don’t need various registration settings for various jobs, those things are handled in the print dialogue! I DIDN’T SEND MY JOB TO AN OFFSET PRESS. Who do you think you are kidding???
Customers, this dude is lying. Or so totally *incompetent* he actually thinks poorly serviced machines are better for some jobs than others.
As a small business owner (you assumed otherwise), I am able to accept credit cards and not impose minimums on my customers. It’s not that expensive. Many small businesses, like mine, are using or moving to square. Your whole entire response is really insulting and condescending. You don’t deserve the business from me you have had, and IMHO, aren’t a great contribution to this community. I wish I could give you less than one star, at this point. Good Job!

Family owned copy and printing center is very convenient to the Panhandle neighborhoods. Owners are very helpful. Prices are about same as Fed ex Copy but friendly service and local biz are the benefits.

This family owned and run business has saved my butt so many times when I need it last minute printing jobs. I just want to go on here for the record and give them a Unilocal review after being a steady customer for the past seven years. Their attention to quality and customer care is unlike anything else you’re going to get at any other San Francisco print shop. From any size printing to plastic banners to whatever you need, Praz and his family got your back! I email them what I need and they give me realistic turnaround times. It’s impressive. Thank you guys for everything.

Excellent service. I needed a large file printed and spiral bound the same day, and they were awesome about explaining my options on the phone. They even offered to do the job in a half hour if I wanted to come in and wait. I ended up e-​mailing them the file, and they had it ready for me to pick up a couple hours later. I highly recommend this business.

These people are the best printers in town. I use their services for everything printed I need for my startup.
I can’t count the number of times that I asked them for a rush print for tradeshows and every time they are perfectly on time.
The quality of the prints is always perfect. They always make a sample that you can check and change again if that’s not exactly what you want. They will also provide you with great advice so your colors look good.
They have a large diversity of products which is convenient for a marketing team who needs flyers, postcards, posters, brochures or even banners. They have a large variety of papers too.
Their prices are in the low to average range.
So very good price, awesome service, quality: they are the best deal in the city!

The best copy/​print center ever. Forget about Fedex and such, they are expensive, non reactive and most of all they don’t have any computer skills.
This little place on Divis & Haight is the best you’ll ever find, they are extremely helpful, good at what they do, and half the price vs competition.

Love this neighborhood place. Very nice and helpful staff. Good rates and good work… I use them for all my printing needs.

Great place and very helpful staff! The format on my print job got slightly altered when they downloaded it from an email, which I didn’t notice until I got home. They stayed open past their regular hours so that I could get new copies made at no charge.

This place has great service and very inexpensive. I printed my resume on resume paper for a faction of others in the city. Totally my go to place!
