copy / printshops in tokyo?

[Mr Sweetfish]

hi gent's!

i've been living in tokyo for some months now but still haven't found a decent copyshop *lol* -

u see, i'm still studying japanese language. i'm a novice...

i had a very hard time, molesting that yodobashi kamera staff to print me some pages ( i'm so sorry yodobashi kamera...) i don't want to go through that again XD... if u got some idea, please tell me where i can print some A4 pictures from my USB stick... if possible on thick paper, maybe foto paper or something similar.

Kinko is probably best suited for foreign residents. You can use the website or go to any of their locations in Tokyo.

I used Kinko's in Ueno a little over two years ago and found it to be just like the ones in the U.S.

so, that's a negative endorsement?

Nah, I generally use a little mom & pop print shop around the corner from where I live because it's convenient (Kinko's is about 3 miles away). For other things that they can't handle, I'll use Kinko's. I have no problem with Kinko's. The Kinko's in Ueno was a nice place and had helpful staff. I'd "endorse" them.

As a designer, Kinko's has become the butt of many jokes (especially as a student), but they serve their purpose when you have need access to equipment. I've also used them both here and in Japan, and can't complain beyond their fast-food business model and price gouging.

Nowadays I work at a commercial printer, so I haven't set foot in a Kinko's in a long while.
