The owner, Farideh, is such a pleasure to work with! I have sent files and also dropped by multiple times for oversized printing, flyers and laminating. Her work is efficient, cost effective and always comes with a smile! She even cut our flyers down and hole punched our sheets without any additional charge. I highly recommend CalCopy SAB Marcos for all of your printing and laminating projects!! read more

Wonderful to work with...very prompt and thorough..highly recommend working with Farideh..

I used to just print at Staples for work event flyers and things like that then Staples in San Marcos closed. I wish that I had come here sooner because this place is so much better for the printing that I need! I just bring my flyers already 4 to a page on a thumb drive and they take it from there! They are very quick, helpful and print great quality. We have run out of flyers at CSUSM and been able to go here for a quick print of more. They do not charge extra to cut pages and everything is nicely wrapped after too. I won't go anywhere else to print event flyers. I miss printing here as I now work from home and only have virtual events but if you need to print, support this business! read more

This place is family owned avd the lady was very nice they offer all the same devices for printing coping etc and with great cs and pricing

Farideh is very sweet and made sure the edits we made were what I wanted. She took her time to hear what I needed help with and made it happen! Support small businesses! read more

Goodbye FedEx Office! Hello Cal Copy! Stopped in just to get a price on some color copies for an event mailer. Dramatically more affordable than "the competition". I didn't need them right away, but she said she'd have it done while I waited, if I wanted. How could I not! Walked across the strip mall for a Big Gulp and by the time I got back, everything was printed. She through them through the folding machine and we were done! I will definitely be back for all my future printing projects! read more

I have no clue how this place makes any money. I'm sure their services are needed for big jobs (binding, laminating, etc) but on the day I went in, they probably lost money. I needed to have a copy made of a document- 2 pages. There was one worker in the store and she was ALL business. A simple hello, made my copies, charged me 25 cents, and that was the end of our transaction. Really. They don't offer any mailing services here but the post office is right across the street from them. Easy. Close to my house, close to a post office, and plenty of parking in the back. 3 stars. read more

As the owner of a print design firm, Hahn Design Studio, I recommend a small list of printers to my clients that deliver the best quality at the lowest prices. I want my work to look great when it's printed. I know that I just added Cal Copy San Marcos to my list. I normally use a company that's in a different county, but my client needed their flyer the next day. I sent the file to Cal Copy San Marcos at 3 pm and they had it ready at 9 am the next morning (the same time they open). This file had a 1/8" bleed, full color on one-side, on gloss copy, so it's not like they could just hit print. There was production involved. Their speed, high quality, and professionalism is on part with my preferred printer, but they are local! read more

Cal Copy is great! I use them all the time for my large printing orders. Very quick and friendly service, along with better pricing than anyone else I've found. read more

My firm outsources big copy jobs. We really only have so much manpower and the single copy machine in the office would explode with all the copies we needed. I was turned on to this place by a client and decided to give it a go. 300 pages, double sided, comb-bound books with tab dividers...times FIFTEEN COPIES. I gave a call to the business and Farideh, the owner answered. She understood everything as I explained it, I emailed over the pdf copies in the order needed and gave her about 24 hours notice. I made a phone call, sent a file clerk to pick them off and they were perfect and professional! I am always nervous to give instructions over the phone, but our lines of communication met in perfect harmony. I am only docking one star because when I called at 8:00 a.m., Farideh told me that they were ready. If they were ready sooner, I would've liked to know and a phone call would've been great relaying that info. But the quality and price were unbeatable. I will definitely be back. read more

Needed to fax 10 pages but didn't want to pay the $20.00+ price other places were charging. I called Cal Copy and was told $1.00 a page to fax. I went there half way expecting a bait and switch for some minimum price, up-sale, etc. Nope. Just as quoted on the phone, a buck a page. It appears to be a one person shop since I didn't see anyone else there working and she was multi-tasking with laminating, working on copies at the same time she was sending my fax. Without asking, she waited until she received the confirmation page for the fax sent. She also double checked that the confirmation showed 10 pages being sent. I've seen some negative reviews regarding a surly attitude but I did not encounter that. She is a little quiet but I found her to be professional and efficient. read more

I ordered a looseleaf copy of an e-book which was 800 pages and needed binding done on the book. I left my book and 30 mins later it was done for a decent price. :) Highly recommend them for photo-copy, binding, lamination etc. read more

For the sake of your own sanity, DO NOT GO TO THIS BUSINESS!!! It is run by a disgruntled, angry and impatient woman who acts as though she is doing you a favor even though you're paying to have the service done. I went in to have some documents notarized. Simple, right? HECK NO! When she refused to notarized all the documents, I made the mistake of asking "why?". Pandora's Box opened and I was now facing an angry, hissing snake. She began a rant which included that she did not having to explain anything to me, how I was wasting her time, etc. I was stunned. Again, unless you want to experience the antithesis of "Customer Service", DO NOT GO HERE!!!! read more

I decided to give this place another chance. The owner was in a much better mood and she provided me with great service...and a smile. Glad to update my review and give her some more stars. read more

I would just like to say personally that I would recommend Cal copy to anyone that is looking for excellent customer service and professional copies and business marketing materials. I am an artist and I'm trying to promote my artwork and she has been a very helpful in everyway possible!!! Thank you Cal Copy!!! read more

I had some leaflets that needed to be printed ASAP, I rang several places and Cal copy surpassed all my expectations, not only was the price better than anywhere else, the owner was great, the job was done really well..I would recommend this place in a heartbeat!! read more

I got school slides printed but many of the slides were not in color. I payed extra for this service but they skimped out. Also the files printed were not current. They printed an old PDF version of the slides. I found a slide that had a missing picture. It's cheaper to waste a few hours and print it at home the correct way. read more

Great personal and caring service. No extra charge for digital files. Everything you can't get at FedEx or The UPS store. Thanks Cal Copy!!!

Quick to respond, friendly service and quality products. I have always had an amazing experience with the staff at Cal Copy who not only produces high quality results, but they do so with the service we all seek from a business. Highly recommend them! read more

I had a job that was quoted by other places for about $700 and decided to get another price from Cal Copy San Marcos and I could get it for $500 and saved 30%. Quick service, good quality, good customer service and excellent pricing. I will always use this business and highly recommend it. read more

I've been going to Cal Copy in San Marcos for 8 years or so since it first opened. I've been very very happy with the service and pricing. Often I need things done quickly and correctly and Ferridah has never once let me down. Even when I call her and ask to have jobs done in an hour or less. read more

Be aware, they say they open at 9am, but at 9:30am they were still closed and lights were off. No one even starting to open. They should update their hours online and on their door. read more
