I had printed a manual for my old camera, for a photography class I was taking. He bound 69 pages in a coil binder, with a cover and a backing page, in 5 minutes--then wished me well on my class! Only $5! read more

These guys are great! They are careful and very professional! We are lucky to have them in the neighborhood and I highly recommend! read more

I'm very pleased with the services I received from the copy room. They are not only quick & efficient, but also very personable. I encourage everyone to patronize this local Evanston business. read more

Good guys. Dependable service for many years. Convenient Evanston location. Fair prices. What more do you need? read more

He did some posters for my company and did a beautiful job! We do that every year and he is my new go to!!

They are the best. I love using them for my business because they are super fast, excellent quality, and great pricing. Every time I email them to get something printed its ready for pick up same day without even asking. I order custom business flyers and marketing materials. I checked out an online competitor before ordering my most recent order (see photo) just to compare and the turn around time from the competitor was 10 days, which is pretty standard. I couldn't wait that long and the pricing was the same. One day turn around and great pricing? You can't beat it! read more

Erik and his team are the best! They are fast and friendly and take pride in doing a good job! I wouldn't think of going to anyone else.

They work fast and are very friendly. One of the best printing experiences I've had in a long time.

Such great people, do amazing work & extremely (did I say EXTREMELY?) reasonably priced. I went in with my personally designed wedding programs & they collaborated by resizing. We looked at paper samples and they were ready within 24 hours. Extremely inexpense and beautifully done!!! It could've been done same day even-unheard of! When I mentioned I needed pre cut table cards written on, though they do not provide-this service, the guys suggested a calligraphy artist might be a good route, which is what we did (search write by Mike (Calligraphy) in chicago). The entire process was just wonderful overall and I cannot recommend Copy Room enough. I'll sure be back and refer everyone I know here for any printing needs. read more

Over the past 5 or more years, their adept, knowledgable service has been the key to my success with a dozen smallish projects. Its great to have their reliable and reasonably-priced services so close to home. read more

The absolute BEST print/copy business around! The Copy Room offers quick turnaround, beautiful and accurate printing and friendly service. The Copy Room is my "go-to" for flyers, postcards, posters, spiral binding, projects and more. I've been going there for years and their work has always exceeded expectations. read more

I have been using The Copy Room to print posters for work for the past couple months. I am very impressed by their prompt service and reasonable prices. We are constantly editing our designs and it feels like we are constantly ordering new prints, so the special customer service really means something. When I was initially looking for a local printer, the same exact posters in the same size were quoted to me 4x or 5x what The Copy Room charges by other Chicago-area companies. Not only are the prices much cheaper, but the posters are usually done by the same evening or the next morning! Jake and Erik will really take care of you here (and your poster prints will look great!). read more

The Copy Room team was very accommodating in helping me with a last minute project that I needed done quickly. And their prices are very reasonable! I will definitely be giving The Copy Room more business! read more

I was recommended this place by a buddy whose main selling point seems to be that it was a local business. Recommendations like that always make me weary because I fret over if the person is making a political statement at the expense of good work. Now, I'm ALL for supporting local businesses, but not at the expense of quality. If I can get a better job at a big-box store, that's where I will go. I was so delighted to discover that to the Copy Room does fantastic work at great prices. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful on top of just being good guys. I do a sizable amount of printing, but I didn't want the size of my order to influence how they treated me as a customer and I didn't want to risk the quality of a large order on people I didn't know. So, my first printing job for them was small. Just a few small laminated posters and a couple page handout. Within an hour of receiving my order, they contacted me with a small typographical error they had found in my order to see if I wanted to correct it before going to print. That is exactly the kind of attention to detail you want out of a printing service. It made me wish that typo wasn't just a bonehead gaff but something I put in as test on purpose!! I have used them ever since. In the end, I have to begrudgingly thank my friend for recommending this local business despite my initial condescending misgivings. It really does make a world of difference to work with a printer who remembers you, your orders, your needs, and your name. In this case, local is pretty awesome. read more

The jobs I bring to The Copy Room are small (a couple of copies here, a single print-out there, faxing a few pages the next day) ... definitely not the large scale projects that make the shop a big profit. Still, I believe The Copy Room treats my teeny tiny projects with the same care as they do for bigger orders. I love that I can bring documents to print on a flash drive, or simply email them to the shop. Also I appreciate that they're open until 6:30 on weeknights so I have time to stop by after work. Most importantly -- the staff is friendly, fast and very helpful! read more

As an alternative to shopping at a Kinkos, the Copy Room is as local as you can get in Evanston, IL. Their prices are reasonable and fair and their turnaround time for ordering custom prints or posters are roughly a day. They can print large banners and posters, binding, faxing, and can scan your documents as well as long as you carry your own drive. Their store is full service and will print large volumes of things for corporate events or celebrations at reasonable and competitive prices. Simple black and white copies are only 6 cents in comparison to other places where they could charge much more. I was very pleased with their service on several occasions and would highly recommend them. read more

The customer service at this shop is impeccable. One of my document had the wrong page numbers (my fault! multiple edits moved the numbers around), which I only realized once I saw the printed pages. They NOT only fixed the page numbers, but gladly printed me a fresh set without charging me extra. AWESOME!!! and they were courteous and wished me well for my application. read more

Fast. Convenient. Friendly. Inexpensive. And, even in 2013, they will not only fax things for you, but they will receive faxes for you, which is what bumps them up to that 5th star. read more

Excellent quality work, quick turnaround, and exceptional customer service. This is my go-to print shop for so many needs!

We worked with them a lot. Almost always last second projects and they always manage to turn it around super fast and very high quality. very reasonable pricing as well! Actually too reasonable I don't think anywhere else beats their price lol High recommend! read more

I hate how overpriced copy jobs are at big box stores. So glad I gave this place a try. My simple copy job was reasonably priced and quickly printed and tri-folded. I worked in the copy center at college back in the day. The Copy Room's shop reminded me of that very much. No frills, just getting the job done. Plus there were seats so I could wait for my job to be done. Also, I had a book I wanted spiral bound (a book of sudoku-like puzzles are much easier to hold with spiral binding). Cutting the spine off + the spiral bind cost $3.50. At Office Max, the same thing cost $5.50. This is my new go-to copy place. read more

Efficient, great to deal with, fair price. Could not ask for more.

These guys were great. I used them for two rush jobs for my daughter's bat mitzvah and they were super helpful, and patient as we were dealing with (my) graphics issues. They printed the items quickly, they turned out great, and the prices were reasonable. Thanks to the Copy Room Team!! read more

Jake was great. I provided a really low quality digital image and he was able to work with it to smooth out some blurry spots and create an awesome image as part of a 10 year anniversary gift for my wife. Not to mention, he taught my about DPI (Dots Per Inch)!!! Thank you Jake. Your service was top notch, and I'll be back again!! read more

Very friendly and prompt service! They printed out my flyers right after I sent them the pdf. The price is also very good!! Highly recommend! read more

This place is a hidden gem! I wanted to replace 7 paperback textbooks with spiral bindings. They all are about 500-600 pages each. I called at about noon on a Saturday (they close at 2pm) to see if they could be done before they close. Erik was able to finish them all in about 1 hour and the price was unbeatable. Don't waste your money at those big chains. Highly recommend this place. read more

Superb service at a very reasonable rate. They did a small job but did it quickly, carefully and efficiently. Pretty much contactless and it went smoothly. read more

I wanted to get my 700 page pharmacy book spiral bound into two separate books so it won't be so tiresome lugging around one big book. This will also allow me to write notes effectively because the pages will lay flat and be able to fold over. They added a clear cover sheet for the second portion of my book which is appreciated. The results were exactly what I had in mind. It cost a total of $11.00 to cut the spine and spiral bind into two books. The books were ready to be picked in the time promised. The workers were also very friendly. I will definitely use their services again in the future! read more

Hello I am down grading this company based on a recent visit. I have used them in the past for 1 or two copies and that worked out well. However, this recent visit was a FAIL and that pains me since I believe in supporting local business and not big conglomerates. I dropped off some printing for an interview, left and came back in about 45 mins. I was told some pages could not be printed - maybe it was how I copied the files over. OK, sounds plausible.... I'm in a hurry and they are the experts - right?! Fast forward to the interview and as we are paging through the pages, OMG they are effed-up. I had to make some lame excuse but it was embarrassing! I gave The Copy room a call and he tells me to CHECK MY PDF since they just hit print!! OK, but I have PRINTED this document before [at work] with no problems. Maybe it was their fault maybe it was mine, but for chrissakes, why didn't they check their work????? and tell me. Note to businesses, don't blame the customer - take responsibility apologize and move on! I have to say for important documents, The Copy Room might not be the place to go... One last comment, they seem a bit to lackadaisical to me - maybe they don't expect to be used for very important work.... who knows. read more

This year I had the petrifying task of being the parent who put together the preschool yearbook for the school my son attends. Oy. Somehow I pieced together a collection of papers that were 50% soft and 50% hard copy - all of the margins and pages were different sizes, papers were different textures and included hand drawn pictures, photos, text. Hot mess. I first decided to send it to Office Max but realized they probably wouldn't be able to edit and size it to make it look okay. So I stumbled across The Copy Room. Turn around time was less than 24hrs for 15 yearbooks with over 30 pages that required all types of witchcraft to make them look good. The end result? Stunning. Like A grade for preschool. The whole book is cohesive and tidy, the colors are vibrant, the binding is fantastic and doesn't obscure any text or artwork. Put simply, amazing! All of the parents and teachers were happy with the end result! Let's support more small businesses in Evanston - especially these guys! read more

We have been proud to have worked with The Copy Room for many years and I am happy to say that the tradition of excellence and commitment to customer service has not wavered over the years. Whether I am sending them a large project requiring meetings and a team effort or a quick turn around project, the team at The Copy Room has never disappointed me. read more

These guys are first rate. Fast, friendly and reasonably priced. I've used all the others around the area and no one compares -- thanks to everyone at The Copy Room. read more

I'm worried I'm going to nickel and dime these guys to death. I only ever come in for oddball one-off requests that require special attention from them and make them about 79 cents. But they always do it without complaining, and they go the extra mile when there's anything else they can do. read more

These guys are great. I used them for all my dissertation work and they were so fast and professional. I think they charge 1 cent more than quartet copies but they are faster. read more

These guys are amazing, and I was very impressed with their pricing and efficiency. I hate paperback textbooks, and they were able to transform both books I requested into the plastic wirebound for easier reading. Thank you! read more

I'm so glad I found this local shop versus one of the big retailers. Erik was so helpful in printing out some Etsy prints and I came in a few hours later with a last minute request that he was able to print and cut in under 30 Minutes. The pricing was cheaper than what I expected and the service was great! Will continue to visit for my printing needs, thank you! read more

Really friendly and efficient customer service -- Jake was especially kind and helpful. Very quick turnaround on a job --less than 2 hrs -- that other places said couldn't be delivered until the next day. Even when there was a small mishap -- partly miscommunication on my part -- they fixed the issue quickly. Would definitely return again and recommend! read more

This place was beyond helpful for me! I cannot thank them enough. I had to scan my 230 page dissertation so I could send it as a complete pdf file. Well, to me, scanning is minimal cost for the store given that it uses virtually no ink or paper (as far as I see). However, other places (i.e., big office supply and copy stores to remain nameless) wanted to charge between .25 and .50 cents per page!!!!! INSANE! That would have cost me a ridiculous amount. Well, the Copy Room came to my rescue....they charged me $15 for what seemed like 15-20 minutes of work. They were awesome, and I HIGHLY recommend them if you need copying services done in the future. read more

Solid! Had prints made in just a few minutes during lunch hour. Friendly staff.

The BEST printing and copy place in Evanston, hands down. I am always impressed by their service. They are incredibly quick, professional, responsive (they answer emails immediately!) and extremely flexible--they've helped me many times when I need help and they turn around a job very quickly and with high quality. And it's so simple to email them files and ask questions. I would not go anywhere else. read more
