Copy of a copy,on purpose
Lecture notes the night before the exam. Flyers for the band's next show. A thesis that has to be bound by tomorrow. We copy it in black and white or colour, print it on the risograph, then fold, staple or bind it. Move across the page to change the hour.Tap the page to change the hour.
Walk-ins only. Bring a USB stick or the actual paper.
The idea
Every copy loses something. A little ink off the curves, a speck from the glass, a shadow where the lid would not close.
Bring us your lecture notes, your band flyer, your grandmother's recipe, and we will run it as clean as the glass allows.
Or run it seven times, until the words start to crumble, and staple that instead.
One recipe card, seven times over
This is every other copy from a run of seven. The type drops two cuts each time, and each sheet lands a few pixels off the last.
How a job runs
- Step 1
Bring it
On a USB stick or as the actual paper. Walk in, there is no booking.
- Step 2
Pick the paper
Plain white, kraft, or a colour from the rate card, up to A3.
- Step 3
Run it
Black and white, colour, or two inks on the risograph.
- Step 4
Finish it
Folded and stapled, or bound with a hard cover, same day if it is in by noon.
Lost the original?
Bring any copy you have and we will run from that. It will be a little worse. Everything here is.
Left on
the glass
People lift the copy and forget the original. We keep what we find in a drawer until the end of term, so ask at the counter.

Asked at
the counter
- Do you keep
a copy? - No. We clear the machine when your job is done.
- Can you fix
a bad scan? - We can run it cleaner. We cannot put back what the last copy lost.
- Will it match
my last print? - Close, never exact. That is how copies work.
- Is my thesis
too long? - No, but bring it before noon if you want it bound the same day.

Prices per side unless the row says otherwise. Paper is included, and so is the guillotine if you ask nicely.
