Overall great and very helpful. I was worried about going to get some work flyers printed especially since I only needed the two. But no they helped me find the type of paper and size I wanted with incredible service and my order was reasonably priced! As a small business myself im very happy I found them. I'm sure I'll be back soon!! Thank you. read more

Pro Copy & Printing - Small flyers - Printing Services Near Me - Oakland, California

I forgot my academic poster on the east coast and Sam was amazing at emailing me back and forth quickly. He did same day printing and saved me!! read more

Small shop with great customer service. I was trying to meet a deadline, uploading some work related forms. There were some glitches, which the owner helped me to solve Although he had to close early that day ( he informed customers of this in advance). to catch a flight due to an emergency,, he was very gracious and conscientious and made sure to help me complete the task. Would definitely recommend read more

Very helpful. Offered a great solution on printing a page up to the margin: printing on 11 x 17 and cutting the paper to 8.5 x 11. Took care of the measurements, printing and cutting-to-size on the spot. Great communication, fast work. Would definitely come here again over UPS, Fed Ex, etc. read more

Fantastic customer service!!!! Professional, fast, easy, friendly... Excellent quality & value. I ****highly recommend**** for all printing/ copying needs. read more

Great service! Came in for a quick couple of photos I needed to print. Was able to get in and out in less than 10 min. Would recommend.

I call and got a price for a 24x36 for $40 but when I showed up and got it printed, was $52 and change; maybe I misheard, unlikely. I needed programs for the memorial and got a $3 a piece for quote, $6 for cardstock. I ask about B&W, $0.75 a print, cardstock was $1.25 extra. But somehow $3 for a color printing, I smell a snake. Buyer beware. read more

True story! The two staff members here are amazing! I love the fact that they don't hoover around you and you're left to do what you need. But when you need them, they're right there to help you out! They're very sweet and helpful, which makes the cost efficient and exceptional service the thing that keeps me coming back. It is HUGE inside and there's also their cultural music playing in the back ground and incenses burning nearby. When you walk it, there's about 5 self copiers and fliers everywhere telling you the price for what and that. For five cents a copy, at least minimum of 25 cents, that's pretty much the sweetest deal for copying around! I love coming because the machines are easy to use and whenever my total comes out,m it's usually cheaper than I except it to be! They're very trusting when it comes to count. They usually just ask you how many, SO BE HONEST. But if you make huge loads of copies, they also have a counter in the copier to know for sure. In addition to self copying, they offer for 6cents per copy to do it for you, as well as making banners, books, doing binding, menus, and etc. Great terms when it comes to pricing and they never pressure you. The place is super clean, though parking is a bit of a drag in Downtown Oakland. Fair pricing and friendly-helpful staff really makes everything better. Not everybody is copying machine smarts, so it's good that there's knowledgeable people there to help you. I know they take both cash and card, so you're in luck! Whenever you're in need of a place for copies, Pro Copy& Printing get it done! Plus, I love helping out a local vendor instead of a Kinkos or something. Best of all, if you make it in by 6PM ON THE DOT before the close, they let you print and not rush you out! AND LASTLY, they have a student discount! read more

See all

It has been 3 years since I've logged into Yelp to write a review, but thanks to Sam's wonderful help at Pro Copy & Printing, I've come out of retirement to write this review. I called early in the morning to confirm that I could get my booklet printed day-of. Sam confirmed and I headed right over. When I arrived, Sam told me that my file was designed in the wrong order, and he helped me fix my file so that it would print perfectly for a booklet. This process took less than an hour, from start to finish. Sam taught and explained to me the process of printing the booklet, from simply the file set up, to binding the book. I really appreciated him taking the time to work with me and to create an affordable, yet high quality booklet that I had worked so hard to design. It was wonderful see my dream come true and I can't thank Sam enough for his hard work!! Not only is Sam very patient and kind, but he knows what he's doing and he goes out of his way to do it right for you, while still handling other customers and fulfilling his orders in time. Thank you Sam, for everything. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Wow! Just wow! Sam goes above and beyond for all of his customers! Do not go anywhere else for these services. Just go here do not hesitate

I'd give them 10 stars if I could!!!! I highly recommend this company. Sam's customer service was over and beyond my expectations. As a business owner myself, I was extremely pleased. I had an emergency print job and called at 7am (they don't open until 9am. He answered very professional and whenI said I'd call back at 9, he still answered my questions and told me what to do. I sent my artwork in and he responded quickly. At 9am we went through my quick emergency print job, he texted me a proof, I approved and paid and it was ready super FAST!!!!! I will make sure to refer and use them any chance I get. Thank you again Sam for your professionalism and fast turn around!!! read more

Pro copy did a great job printing my presentations and dry mounting them late in the afternoon for delivery the next morning. They kept me informed on the progress, texted me photos of the products for approval and we're very professional. read more

Excellent service, easily accessible and friendly staff. I will definitely return with my printing needs. Thank you for all that you do Pro Copy! read more

$4 to print out four pages in black and white from an email. WTF. Nope. Won't be back.

The quality and the service on my poster print were absolutely outstanding. I don't think I will use another service in Oakland again. 10 stars. read more

Didn't get the service guy's name. maybe he was the owner. arab/india guy.. no, they don't all look alike. just wasn't paying attention. got my rubber stamp made within 2 days. was promised in five.days. banks usually took 2 weeks and costs more $$. informed stamp. can be re-inked for 4.95. will consider it since i'm all thumbs and uncoordinated. (except when writing reviews). read more

I came in here to mass produce my hand written Christmas letter cartoon in color. Honestly, I didn't give a rip about the quality, just wanted something quick and dirty. The staff however, cared a great deal, and I got a better product than I bargained for (great paper and beautiful imagery) at a reasonable price. So I used them again this year for my annual Christmas letter, and I now use them for rush jobs at work. They are wonderful. read more

Pro Copy & Printing - Shop front - Printing Services Near Me - Oakland, California

Thank you for the last minute jobs that are ready the same day. Sure there's a premium for that kind of procrastination but the quality is always top notch and done right. Thus far its been full color postcards and a beautiful vinyl banner. Sure it would have been cheaper at some mass market printer, but will they do the job in just two hours? Saving procrastinators one marketing product at a time! Lucky for me they are within walking distance of my office! read more

I'm a local artist who relies on art $$$ to pay the bills. 5x7 prints are part of my repertoire. Pro Copy does an incredible job with these prints. Exact cuts, great paper, and good turnaround time. At my art show, people even stared at my prints thinking that they were the real art before I told them otherwise. What else is there to say? read more

Sam and his team at Pro Copy and Printing were great! They were able to help us with high quality, last minute photo printing assignment. They were extremely kind, attentive and effective. All the things you hope for in your neighborhood print shop. Will be going back for sure! read more

Pro Copy and Printing expertly helped us create a large poster (20x30") from a digital photograph. They worked with us directly to ensure we were satisfied with the image quality, resolution and finish before hitting 'print'. The poster came out great read more

This place is so great!! I called many places in town to help me print and bind a birthday photo book for my sweetie on short notice and they worked very quickly and even rebound the book for me on the day of pickup after I received late additions. The owner works very hard and it shows! They work quickly and it is great quality. Would definitely go back to support this local business, definitely over Fedex or another printing chain read more

Pro copy has printed my posters out for the bar I manage down the street for the past several months. I have been very pleased with the comprehension and friendliness of their staff! Everyone there is knowledgeable and has been able to provide me with immediate results for the ads I need to display. Very happy to have such a reliable source so close by! read more

I've gotten excellent work here in the past but not today. I asked to have some of my flat artwork to be digitally scanned and my scans were very low quality and poorly executed. I was going to use these scans for my professional website and absolutely cannot use them for that; I could've spent 1/3 of the price and got the same low quality scans done at my local print shop. Please make sure when you guys are speaking with your customers to understand what they need so they don't end up wasting their money, thanks. read more

I only seem to print things in emergency situations or when I'm in a HUGE hurry. Pro Copy & Printing has come through for me every time. I can send them email requests in the morning with my files attached, and pick up within a matter of hours. They are quick, competent, and well-priced. They even offer 10% off when you mention Yelp! Really friendly, personal service makes all the difference. If you're a last minute gal like me, Pro Copy & Print has you covered! read more

I wrote a novel and wanted proper copies of the manuscript. Nothing fancy, just copied and spiraled. 467 pages. I tell dude this. "Fifteen cents per page," he says with a straight face. I try to make sense of that. "Do you mean, per sheet of paper? Or per side?" "Per side. Per page. Fifteen cents." We do the math. Seventy dollars. Per. And that is just the copying. The binding is of course extra. I am still trying to pretend we are on Earth. "I need more than one copy. Is there a discount...?" Dude looks around the room and obviously pulls a number out of the air. "Discount after ... like ... 20 copies." Wow. Wow. Pro Copy is close to my job, and I wanted to make this a quick errand. I have more money than time. But this was an insult. I don't know what else to call it. So I thanked him and left and I did what I should have done in the first place, which was go to Copygrafik in Berkeley. (I will be writing a review for Copygrafik next.) Maybe a year ago they printed and bound an earlier draft of this same book without robbing me. Three cents a page at Copygrafik. Three cents a page. I picked up my copies the next day, today. They are beautiful. The whole entire job, 5 bound copies of a 467-page novel, cost me $100. Fifteen cents a page is fine if you need a quick copy of your phone bill or something, but either Pro Copy doesn't want to copy more than 100 pages for anyone or they figure that if nine people walk back out like I did and they rob the tenth one it is worth it. They may be right about that. I saved over $250 by taking 30 extra minutes to go 4 BART stops and back. read more

I have this really awful habit of 'biting off more than I can chew'. A simple group project about comparing the poetry of Walt Whitman and Philip Levine turned into a mock 'wedding' complete with a program and CD wedding favor. But what makes that aforementioned habit even worse is my propensity to procrastinate. Yeah... I say "FML" and face-palm on the regular. In any event, I stayed up all of Wednesday night and part of Thursday morning burning 45, 16 song long CDs. My first class started at 9:35 that morning and I didn't think that I was going to be able to make copies of the program, one poem, the CD jewel case inserts, AND the CD labels in time. But that was because I didn't fully comprehend the fact that ninjas work at Pro Copy. I got to Pro Copy a little before 8 am AND THEY WERE OPEN!!! I walked in and immediately went to the self-service copiers, perfectly ready to fumble around with the copiers until I figured out how to make the copies (I had brought along Memorex pre-made paper for CD inserts and labels). But before I made a hot mess of everything, this guy comes around and asks if I need help. Heck YES! I explained what I wanted and even though I showed him what I wanted copies of, he asked if I had digital copies so that the quality would be better (the originals that I had brought in were from my awful inkjet printer). How awesome of a gesture was that? Luckily enough I had everything on a flash drive and he was able to print out really high quality originals. Then he made sure to check which ones I wanted in color or just plain black and white. Once we got that and the number of copies sorted out, he went and ran one copy of each thing so that he could check to see if I liked the way everything lined up. I LOOOVED IT!!! After the copies were done, he rang me up and gave me bags for everything. MUCHHH cheaper than FedEx/Kinkos and the service was sooo great. It probably took you longer to read this review than it did for him to make all of those copies. I got there at around 7:55 and as I checked me watch on my way out I was so surprised to see that it was only a little past 8. I can't recommend Pro Copy enough! read more

If you look up "customer service" in the dictionary, there is a picture of Pro Copy & Printing next to the definition. On a Friday afternoon, we were packing up for an art show the next morning. After an arduous slog producing pieces to sell at the show, we hadn't noticed that our booth banner was very much worse for wear. In a panic, I dug around through our pile of unmarked CDs and USB drives desperately in search of our print-ready artwork, luckily found the files, and headed over to Pro-Copy at around 2pm. By 5pm, they had re-sized my image to fit the banner size, printed a proof for me to approve, and then printed the final version and attached the grommets. The banner looked amazing, the price was even more amazing, and the customer service was ultra-amazing. read more

Great deals to be found here! Friendly, professional, courteous, hard working & SUPER helpful staff. I literally have NO complaints about this place. Had beautiful business cards made here for CHEAP! Can't wait to use them again then the time comes!!! GOOD WORK PRO COPY & PRINTING! read more

Yes! =( I'm actually paying to get my copies done. (Yes, can't use the printer at my current job.. sucks!!) Even though it suppose to be self-service, the guy at the counter was super nice and helpful. I didn't even ask for any help, the guy came over and volunteered to help me out . Unlike other copy places, this place is super clean toOOo.. Will come back soon.. read more

The first few times I went to Pro-Copy I had very positive customer experiences, but it seemed like as I continued to go there they were less thrilled about me coming, scrutinized my self-service copier use, and finally charged me double the posted rate for my B&W self-service copies, supposedly for using too much toner. My quandary was, how could you know how much toner I was using if you didn't look at my originals or at my finished copies? Do other customers get last minute add-on charges or was I just lucky? I didn't really understand it, but my arty pamphlets and comic books had me profiled! (Even though I never abused the copier and used it exactly in the way it was intended.) I guess that my presence constituted some kind of threat to their business model. Guilty of being goth and knowing how to use a photocopier, I guess. I live in Oakland and love supporting small businesses here, plus the machines are well-maintained. I probably would have continued going there, but it was pretty much made clear to me that the proprietor didn't want me around unless I was going to get high-volume full-service jobs. I was a repeat customer, but not the right sort. It's pretty obvious that they don't want me to use their equipment, so I'll go some where else. This whole experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. I try to have good client relationships and sticking with the same businesses for services, but oh well. read more

I needed my wedding invitations done right and fast, and Pro Copy & Printing managed to get it done the day I ordered it. And that was me calling it in around noon. They helped me format my images that I brought in on a USB drive, they helped me pick out card stock, drove to pick up special envelopes, and every step of the way were friendly, attentive, and casual. The price was reasonable, too. Would highly recommend them for any project you're working on. read more

Service here is top notch. I went down to Pro Copy & Printing this Friday afternoon to get some posters and half-page fliers made for an event at Haddon Hill Cafe in Oakland (StorySlam!). The people here are awesome! Paula took my flash drive and created large and small sized copies from the pdf's I had ready for her. She was super fast, super nice and I was in and out of there in less than half an hour. It would have taken me way longer to resize my documents to accomplish what she did in just a few minutes. She didn't even charge me for a few extra copies after I'd changed my mind about the color paper. I'd definitely recommend Pro Copy & Printing over any of those big-name chain copy stores. Only caveat: they are only open on weekdays during normal business hours so you have to be aware of that. But hey, it's nice to know these awesome people have a life, too! read more

amazing! For cheaper than Kinkos I got a printing job completed with excellent customer service and no extra charge for them printing out my documents, stapling them, etc. I just had to print out outlines for some studying I had to do, but I didn't want to print out hundreds of pages at home. So I brought my flash drive (usb) here with my outlines, and gave it to them. THEY printed it out double sided, stapled, with NO Extra charge! Dude, at Kinkos you have to pay to get on the computer to print out your stuff, and pay per page. All I paid here was around 10 cents per page. Because I had to print so many pages they gave me a discount to ten cents a page. And they organized them, printed them out for me, and gave me all the personal service you don't expect from Kinkos. Without any of Kinko's extra charges! All this wonderful service, just for my own little outlines! If you don't have a printer and need print papers, this place is amazing. I am sure they are amazing for other services too. Customer service was Excellent! read more

Pro Copy & Printing - Best in the business. Have been getting court copies and business cards here for years. Excellent express service. Love this this place. - Printing Services Near Me - Oakland, California

Based upon all the excellent Yelp! reviews for Pro Copy, I decided to give them a try.. I had 10 originals and needed 15 copies. At 4 pm, I easily found parking on the street and went inside. I headed to the 5 cent self-service machines when the man behind the counter said, "I can do those for you." Little did I know, because he didn't say anything, taking him up on his offer would cost me 3 cents a copy. Eight cents a copy is even two cents more than the lowest price for non-self-service. This was supposedly a better type of paper, but I couldn't tell the difference. These copies were for a local high school PTA for which I am an officer. Had I been treated fairly, I would have become a regular customer as we have a significant amount of copying over the course of the school year. I hope he enjoys the $4.50 extra they made off of me because that's the last he'll ever see of me. read more

I'm very happy I went to Pro Copy to fix an error in my wedding invitation suites. They were super helpful: Sam gave me three proofs for free and helped me compare different inks and cardstock. They were able to print the job in less than six hours whereas the original vendor would not have been able to get them to me in under five days. Moreover the new print job cost less at Pro Copy than it would have with the original printer! These guys really saved the day, and I have learned my lesson about working with online printers. If anything goes wrong with the order (in this instance the original printer made a mistake and so did I) they can't respond very quickly. I'll definitely take my business back to Pro Copy. read more

These guys are the best. They are super helpful and friendly. They offer the kind of personal care that is so desperately lacking from the customer service industry these days. They are genuine and actually care about the services that the provide. I had a rush job for a proposal to the city of Oakland. It was a 60 page document that I needed 4 copies of. I came in at 1 and I needed it by 3. The printed it while I waited, helped me ensure that all the formatting made sense and even helped me seal and label box for delivery to the city office. Everything came out perfectly and the price was extremely reasonable. If I ever have more print needs in the East Bay I will certainly be back. read more

was in a jam and needed some invitations made pronto. I had already paid a ton for some fancy pre-cut 5X5 paper and could not find anyone to print on them for me. It is very rare to find a printer that will fit this size paper. The gentleman was really nice and working to find a solution for me. He and this nice lady named Paula jigged a piece a of paper that would make my invites a different size so that it would fit through the printer. They spent all day taping another piece of paper to mine. They both went above and beyond. This place is great and the staff is amazing! read more

I just printed my VERY FIRST set of chapbooks at Pro Copy & Printing!!! The quality is so beautiful and everyone was so helpful and friendly. I did not catch the name of the gentleman who helped me (sorry! I'm so shy!) but he not only worked with me to get my file pretty for printing, he gave me great advice and spent a ton of time working with me even though the shop got busy. The personalized attention really calmed my nerves and I felt like he cared about my chapbooks as much as I do. It's so wonderful when someone takes care of your creative product and understand how important it is to you. And that was just the SERVICE. The quality FAR EXCEEDED my expectations. I came home and flipped through the books over and over again because they're so beautifully done. All of this magic happened THE SAME DAY. Quick service, personalized attention to detail AND beautiful quality. They say that when considering Cost, Time and Quality you can only have two out of three. With Pro Copy & Printing this is definitely not the case. Cost was on point, Quality was through the roof, and Time was quick and efficient (yet personal and not hurried!) THANK YOU SO MUCH for making my first book printing experience so wonderful and safe and comforting. I have found my printer! I can't wait to come back for more prints and projects! read more
