The first I place I went to was somewhere really close by to where I work. It’s called Kwik Copy on 37th between Madison and 5th.

I really do not like this place. The guy was very rude. I would ask him something and he would talk to someone else for a few minutes and come back to me… So he had said that an 11×17 would cost $5 because the minimum purchase was $5! Then I started to ask him about the trimming and folding. He was rude again and said he wouldn’t answer my shopping list. I had to have a project that I actually need to be printed for him to give me prices. So I left.

My next stop was a staples on 34th. The address is 16 E 34th Street.

The customer service there was so much better! An 11×17 double sided color print is $3.58. To trim a stack of paper is $2 per cut. So if I had to trim 4 sides on a paper, that would be $8. Kind of pricey. To fold would cost 3 cents per page, not per fold. So even if I had a three fold brochure, it would still cost 3 cents. Cost to do a pamphlet stitch is 25 cents extra. The binding, which includes the plastic spiral, wire spiral would cost an extra $4.62 (20-30 pages). They have a special offer going on now until November 14. Staples reward card members get 50% back in the mail for all these printing services. I think it’s a pretty good deal. I have a rewards cards and it’s free to get one if anyone was interested.
