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!!

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!!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

I am a small business owner in the Main Dempster Mile district. I love having a local print shop just blocks away. Erik and Jake have always made me feel as though my work and biz is just as important to them as a larger client. My posters, flyers and handouts always look amazing and the turnaround time is awesome.

Erik is a really nice guy who was very helpful. He was able to print something for me with very short notice all over the phone. When I made it to his shop he was able to do addition work in the matter of 5 minutes while I waited. I will now go out of my way to do my printing there!

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.

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

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.
