This place is wonderful! It did exactly what I need. It's my friend's birthday and I designed a postcard for her. Normally, print shops don't do one postcard (I visited somewhere else earlier and they can't do it) but Sanjeev is so kind that he did it for me!!! The postcard looks great and the price is very reasonable! A big THANK YOU to Sanjeev for printing out the postcard!!! I'll def go back here if there's anything I need in the future. You should check this place out if you want printing job done. THEY LITERALLY DO EVERYTHING(At the time I visited, they have brochure, poster, program, greeting card, and even T shirt samples at the counter)!!! read more

I'm a wedding planner and my clients are very A type and detail oriented so it's critical for me to have a printer that is reliable, patient and affordable. I have been fortunate enough to have found Instant Copying & Laser Printing to be a godsend! The best part about them is the access and responsiveness of the owner Sanjeev. He takes such a personal approach that is invaluable when you are printing menus, place cards and wedding invitations. My most recent project with him was an Indian wedding for 350 guests and while it could have easily been very expensive and stressful I was put at ease every time he picked up the phone to call me. The wedding was amazing .... I highly recommend them and will be back soon....If you are looking a printer this is it! read more

I am reprinting 7 out-of-print children's books with color illustrations and covers. It is important to me that I have top-rate scans to submit to the printer. I ran test scans at 6 copy shops around Berkeley and Albany and achieved the best results at Instant Copying. I worked directly with the owner Sanjeev Sood and appreciated the fact that he personally attended to all the scanning. Not only does Sanjeev have top-rate equipment but he is also expert at fine tuning it to achieve superb results at a very reasonable price. During my visits to Instant Copying I met a number of other customers, several of whom had been doing business with Sanjeev for 15 years or more and regard him a good friend as well as a supplier. I will definitely return to my new friend Sanjeev Sood for future needs. read more

Whatever print job you have, big or small, you cannot go wrong bringing it to Sanjeev Sood at Instant Copying. He produces top quality work because that's who HE is. YOU will be happy with the result because Sanjeev brings his expertise to help you think through your project, so you understand up front how the choice of card stock, finish, and original artwork will impact the outcome. Sanjeev may even "up your game" with suggestions on improving your layout to be more impactful. I will always come back to Instant Copying. read more

Sanjeev was incredibly helpful on the phone and in person! I would highly recommend checking out his location for all your printing needs! In comparison to other locations in Berkeley, I found cheaper prices and high quality. read more

Quick and professional service for passport pics. I needed them for my Thai passport and the lady upfront was very knowledgeable and kind.

Sanjeev is AWESOME! He not only printed my labels, but corrected them so that the printing would be centered correctly. Service with a smile, and so professional. Lots of excellent products that he can produce including T-shirts with printed on (not ironed on) art, banners, brochures, etc. He even told me that if he does the printing of our newsletters (for our non-profit), he can print the address on the newsletter. Now that's worth it! I recommend him highly! read more

This place is great! I was in & out with my printing job in under 2 minutes. The workers are so sweet and it's cheaper than fedex or staples. Definitely a no frills type of place it's super casual but they do a high quality job. I come here whenever I need something printed. Can not recommend enough! If you need something printed from your computer you can just email it to them. They also do full textbook pdf prints and a bunch of other stuff. read more

For a couple of years Sanjeev has been my go-to guy for printing those monthly school newsletters. Yes, he can print, collate and staple three double-sided pages each with a different color. Yes, he can take a pdf file emailed with instructions, complete the task, and arrange a pick-up time. But that's not why I go there. I go to Instant Copying & Laser Printing because Sanjeev has always helped me out, even if he stayed past closing hours. He's that kinda guy. read more

This is an excellent copying and design center. It was extremely pleasant to work with Sanjeev. He is extremely efficient, and handled the large printing order very quickly! The pricing and quality of the printing were excellent! The parking in downtown Berkeley has a quick turn over, so you can find a spot, and it is central to all buses and BART so was an added perk. I have shifted my printing to this shop due to the ease of dealing with them, and I got exactly what I wanted. Great Berkeley Business! read more

The folks (Sanjeev and Arnon) at "Instant Copying and Laser Printing" did an outstanding job in assisting me comply with a "production of documents" order​. They supplied three ringed binders, Bates Stamping/Numbering, color photo insertions, jpeg to pdf conversions and other tasks to many to mention. They even opened up especially for me on the weekends (their day off) just to help me meet a deadline...and they didn't charge extra for it! Lastly, the price was extremely reasonable! I highly recommend "Instant Copying and Laser Printing" for any job that you may have. The finished product was highly professional. read more

This is a great place to pop in and get a few copies made, either from hard copy or via email. The owners are extremely courteous and helpful, and the prices are very reasonable. They also do large print jobs, t-shirts, etc. Highly recommended! read more

I've come to this copy shop for many years (20? 30? I remember even when they were around the corner from their current location) for a variety of printing needs. Sanjeev, the owner, is always helpful, friendly and kind. When I see him out in the community, he always remembers my name and has a kind word. And he's good at what he does. Recently, I ordered some art prints from Etsy. They were digital downloads. I had never done this before, and had no idea how to print them or how they would come out. Sanjeev was the first call I made... Well, of course they do this kind of printing! He talked me through which files to send him to make the best quality print. When I picked them up only a day or two later, I was stunned at how beautiful they were. I could not have asked for anything more. I wished I had done all of my prints this way, and will certainly bring any future prints/ other jobs to Instant Copying & Laser Printing! read more

For over 10 years I have been a loyal patron for Instant Copying & Laser Printing because they produce excellent quality printing. I am a theatre teacher and I met Sanjeev back in 2009, while living in Temescal. He created my first poster to promote and market my first high school musical. It was stellar and received many compliments from families and colleagues. After moving to San Francisco, I could not help but to come back to Berkeley for all of my printing needs, including posters, t-shirts, and postcards. It's hard to believe it has been 10 years, but I love going back because I am never disappointed with the service. Not only is Sanjeev professional, creative, and accommodating, but he truly cares about his clients and makes extra effort to assure his customers are satisfied. read more

These guys do full-service book copying, so I brought a book by for that purpose. When the book was opened fully, it was a little larger than a standard 8.5" x 11" page, so the owner who was there said that he will reduce it 80%, which was fine by me. I needed to return the book to its owner so I asked if I can get the copies by noon the next day. He assured me that this could be done. The next day I arrive at noon and saw his wife working on scanning my book. It wasn't until past 1:30 that I actually got my book back. I rush away with the book to return it to its owner. A few days later I come back for my copies. I pay for them without inspecting them. Stupid me. Later I noticed that about half an inch of text was missing from the right edge of every page. I go back for a refund and was told by the owner that he would happily redo the copying, but due to his "business philosophy", he would not give a refund. He also mentioned that he warned me that some text might be cut off. I don't remember if he did or not, but I did not expect copies that I could not use. Had he tried to read any page of text, he would have been able to come to the same conclusion. In any case, I don't have the book any more. The business owner seems to be a nice man, and he did some good binding for me before, so you might have better luck there, but I got pretty screwed this time. read more

Just got majorly ripped off by this copy center. Went wanting to print four photos on regular photo paper. The owner(?) printed them on one large sheet of somewhat glossy card stock. This might be fine except that the printing looked awful, and then on top of that he charged me $7 -- for one piece of paper! I tried telling him one of the pictures would look better if he hadn't zoomed in so much (the actual quality of the photo wasn't great) but he argued that it wouldn't do anything to zoom out and did not even try to reprint it. This guy is a serious sweet talker... but I felt totally ripped off and taken advantage of after he actually charged me! Also would only take cash. ~~Will not be coming back to print any readers or copy textbooks -- I don't like getting ripped off!~~ read more

I am an entrepreneur, writer and journalist and have worked with MANY print shops over time. This was my worst experience - EVER. This business owner seems genuine at the onset - but was a shyster in the end. Ran my credit card for a future order "in advance" without my knowing it, didn't fulfill a completion date - and was OVER a week late on a second order without calling to say that he didn't have a required font to do the job. He left an order UNDONE because he couldn't match a font! Also, (owner) Sanjeev created stories blaming his staff and outsourced printers on why the issues occurred. He did gladly offer a refund when he was repeatedly caught in blatant lies. We wanted to use this printer because of convenience to our office and his seeming knowledge of the process. WILL NOT use again. read more

I used to live just up, and then just down, the hill and now travel 10mi.+ to bring my copy and print jobs here. Very personable, courteous, earnest assistance has helped me keep my complex projects tidy and their presentations on-topic. This is no mean feat. The owner is talented and trustworthy. The location makes me homesick, and hungry, and once I exchange cash for comestibles at Lucky House, next door, very happy. read more

Sanjeev and the entire team offered above and beyond service to our organization. The professionalism and accountability were truly exceptional. Sanjeev ensured that our envelopes would be ordered and printed at an expedited rate and personally followed up to make sure we were all set. We may be a new client but we are so thankful to have found this company. The product was perfect and the kindness extraordinary. Thank you Sanjeev, it was a delight to work together with you and we will most certainly be a future customer for many years to come! Thanks! ~ WEA team read more

This is a fantastic copy and printing store. We wasted $20 down the street getting inferior copies. Then we went to Sanjeev's store. He's terrific. We had a tricky project. Color drawings, 11 by 14, that we wanted to print on watercolor pager. Sanjeev was able to make fantastic scans and then took the time to print on our heavy paper. The results look better the originals. AND he gave us a great price!!! When we hung them at an art show viewers thought they looked fantastic, and didn't know they were prints. We will be using Instant Copying & Laster Printing again for sure!! And working with Sanjeev was a great experience. -- Michael read more

I'd been in Berkeley for 4 years before I found this place. I was tired of getting frustrated by other 3 cent copy places that always had a line to wait in, broken machines, so I finally decided to try this smaller copy place. First, I was impressed by their brand new machines. After going back a couple of times, I decided never to go back to the other 3 cent copy places; IC&LP had the best machines, and the two guys were always very friendly and helpful. It was the first copy place that's ever impressed me with customer service. So after about a year, I've used them for copies, binding, and now my course reader because I'll be teaching in the fall. The guys have done a FANTASTIC job on the reader. Unlike other copy places, they prefer to scan originals themselves, so I didn't have to worry about making photocopies first---thus, I saved myself extra time and money! Also, I am extremely grateful that they add an index to their readers as well as page numbers. I don't know how many readers from other places I've seen (and had to buy as a student myself) where students are left to find everything in the readers that don't even have page numbers... By far, this is the best place in Berkeley for copies and for getting readers done. read more

Sanjeev provides excellent service. He applied his acute understanding of what I was looking for in my document duplication job and made sure I got a great outcome (high quality copies and careful care for the originals). He really went the extra mile for me even when the job proved more complicated (because of the condition of the originals) than expected. I highly recommend this place! read more

I came in to this shop to inquire about pricing and logistics after the shop down the street totally fudged my project up. It was critical - I was supposed to have something printed for my boss and bringing her something of substandard quapity wasn't an option. Sanjeev was super helpful Not only did he quote me for about half the price I paid down the street, but he also explained his process and showed me quite a few examples of their work - all very impressive. It was obvious that they prioritize doing the job right the first time, which sometimes means noticing when a document needs adjusting before printing (like mine did) and offering the customer a sample before printing everything. Key details for printing noobs like myself. I was pretty excited and planned to use this service, but the shop down the street offered to redo my project instead of giving me a refund, so I wasn't able to this time. I was impressed by the excellent customer service I received here when I wasn't even a customer! I will definitely come here for my next project. You should, too! read more

After a year of bombing around Berkeley, going to different copy shops (all 2.5 to 3.5 cents per single impression for self-service copies), I have found this place and it is quickly one of my favorites. It is not claustrophobic, hot, or stuffy, like many of the others. The staff is knowledgeable, reliable, and will not get all surly on you if you (gasp) don't know every in and out of the copier (or don't know anything at all about copiers, for that matter). I have not yet printed a bigger job with them but full expect there would be no issues if I did in the future. Just FYI, please have cash for a job under $10. It's a (completely fair) store policy. read more

Instant turn around on a rush job, quality printing and great small family business. I now use them for all my printing needs! Caring service rep helped walk me through my options and guided me to the best option for me, not the best price for them - truly honest business folk. With great prices, and great people there is no need to look anywhere else! read more

Sanjeev did a terrific job with my little postcard project, and he's also just the nicest man in Berkeley laser printing! The cards look great, and it was sweet to do business with him, which I can't say about prior copying experiences! read more

I was on the waiting list for one of my classes and when I finally got a place in the class I needed a text book asap. SInce I couldn't afford to purchase the text book my classmate let me photo copy it and I brought it to instant copying. Sanjeev was super helpful and gave me a great deal, wayyyy cheaper than the other places I called in berkeley. He photo copied the entire book for me and it only took 3 hours. I will definitely be coming back. Excellent service read more

I was fortunate to find this copy shop about 10 years ago. Arnon and Sanjeev are extraordinarily helpful and knowledgeable. The comprehensive course readers they have not only printed but also produced in collaboration with me are high quality. I am happy to say that my students love them! In short, I am grateful to Instant Copying and Laser Printing for their outstanding services. We're lucky t have them in our Bay Area community! read more

I walked in today with a USB stick and a dream, and Sanjeev made my day. He helped me with the best possible pricing for my project, made some adjustments to my art work, stayed late to get it all done, and was impeccably polite and friendly while doing it all. This place is now firmly on my radar, and I will be going back for all my printing needs. Thank you, Sanjeev!! read more

I had a rush scanning job of nearly a thousand pages of files, single sided and double sided, some stapled, clipped, or bound. They were in about 30 folders. Sanjeev and his staff did the job in about four hours, giving me clean, well labeled PDFs. They returned the originals to me in the original order, neatly filed. Their charge was very reasonable considering the amount of work, the complexity and the speed. I feel lucky to have chosen them and will certainly choose them again. read more

After dealing with the rudest and most unprofessional man (the manager in his 30's, wears a baseball cap and I think is Indian) at Krishna Copy across the street, I walked right over to Instant Copying & Laser Printing. I was greeted with the exact opposite experience. Sanjeev and his worker were kind, professional & helpful. They made my flyers like I have not seen before! Amazing! Instant Copying & Laser Printing is now my place for printing up my monthly flyers for The Clarences! Highly recommend! read more

I love the convenience of this place just a block from campus. I've been coming here for over eight years and the owner and staff are so personable and friendly. Every customer matters. I have done lots of copying and had business cards printed -- very quickly! Even with COVID...everything very safe. Cost effective, fast service, big and small jobs. Super high recommendation for a small business with a can-do attitude. read more

It is quite an experience to work with Sanjeev at ICLP. It's an old fashioned place with lots of work in progress, and lots of interesting people and projects every where you turn. Sanjeev is a perfectionist. Don't try to rush in and rush out. He does quality work, which takes time and planning. And yes, he will charge you for his time. And yes, it'll be worth every penny. Sanjeev is a pleasant and savvy business man. He is cultivating repeat customers by the quality of his work and by word-of-mouth. My friends who have seen Sanjeev's work will go only to ICLP for printing and copy services. read more

This is going to be one of my very rare short reviews . . . , I am taking a film history theory course at UC Berkeley Summer Sessions D. A reader is required for the class in lieu of an Oxford textbook of film essays per the GSI presiding over the course. The class can pick-up said reader at Instant Copying and Laser Printing on University Avenue and Oxford Street. My internal compass knows where the place is, and making a note-to-self, pick up reader the next day before my history of avant-garde film class. And of course, check ye olde Yelp! reviews! So I walk in, I am bit surprised by the lights are not on, and I see there is only one person inside the establishment who must be the man himself called Sanjeev. We have a brief exchange about my picking up a reader. He makes a joke about it. What?! He then explains what he meant. I chuckle and make the gesture of "that went over my head" as he explains I will be picking up the reader a lot. Sanjeev must have seen too many of the class folks picking up their readers, and I am the lucky one he is taking the mickey out on. He hands me an inch and a half thick reader costing about $32.00 total. I mention that the GSI's copy has a plastic cover over it. He tells me the GSI's copy has plastic as it will be used again. Great, I want to preserve my copy too, so I don't mind paying extra for it. I plan to use it again as a resource and reference while I am reading and studying film at UC Berkeley (and beyond). Sanjeev is quite a character, and he tells me he does a lot of business with UC faculty and GSIs. He tells me when it is my time, to keep Instant Copy and Laser Printing in mind. And he advised me to plan ahead. Poor Sanjeev must be overwhelmed with so many requests and such. I tell him I will do so, if he does not retire first. He is lucky Cal faculty, staff and GSIs keep him busy. I will definitely welcome opportunities picking up class readers at Instant Copying and Laser Printing while I am at Cal. read more

I assumed it was open because the door was open but was met with a condescending and rude worker/owner telling me that they're closed and why didn't I check the hours on the door. read more

I found this place through Yelp reviews, and it did not disappoint. I am so impressed by their work and customer service! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for copies. First, this place offers much more reasonable prices than the many other copy centers in Berkeley. Sanjeev even offered me a discount because I was making so many copies and it was my first time there. I was making copies for a big meeting and wanted to make a good impression, so they gave me lots of advice on what kind of paper to use, etc. to make copies the best possible- and were honest and willing to work with me around my price range. For about half the price that other places charge for color copies, I got BEAUTIFUL, colorful copies on thick paper. The best part- they did made over 500 pages for me in one day! The copies came out perfectly and I even got complements from folks at the meeting about how the impressive quality of the documents and paper. I was so impressed at the quality of the job, the speed, and most of all- the genuine and kind customer service. Sanjeev is wonderful and really went above and beyond of me. I will absolutely be coming back and I highly recommend this place for all of your copying needs. read more

Wouldn't go anywhere else for copies. Sanjeev makes sure customers are well taken care of.
