Welcome
Thank you for visiting the online home of Copy Factory. Locally owned and
operated by experienced printing industry professionals, Copy Factory is a full
service digital printing and bindery shop. In addition, the company works with the
best trade shops in the area to deliver a wide array of offset printing services.
Located two miles south of Stanford, we offer students and staff a 10% discount.
We serve customers large and small, ranging from our own Barron Park
neighbors, nearby Silicon Valley tech firms, non-profits and print brokers to
clients located in San Francisco, Brooklyn, Chicago and Seattle.
Affordable, quality color
Whether for short run digital or longer run offset, Copy Factory specializes in
affordable, quality color printing. Our prices are lower than FedExOffice/Kinkos;
plus we take an interest in – and bring our expertise to – each and every project,
producing professional quality work and meeting customers' deadlines.
Utilizing our Ricoh C901s Pro high speed-digital press and our OKI Pro900DP
laser printer we offer quality color printing solutions for a broad array of
requirements, from high-end corporate data sheets, brochures and booklets to
personal projects like thesis, newsletters, and special event programs. And, yes,
we do "color copies" from hard copy but we really prefer to print from a digital file
which makes every copy an original.
For offset color, we partner with top notch, locally owned bay area trade
companies, who only deal with retail shops like Copy Factory, and offer very
affordable pricing.
In addition to stocking our self service copiers with 100% post consumer waste
recycled paper, we use an earth-friendly line of digital color copy paper. Our
black and white self service machines use
Hammermill
Great White 100. For color digital printing, we feature the
Mohawk
line of papers. And we use the Domtar line of colored papers, which contain the
most recycled content of any on the market.
Mohawk and Domtar have made commitments to earth-friendly practices not
only in terms of products and manufacturing processes, but also including their
corporate citizenship. For instance, all of the Mohawk's papers are made using
100% wind power. In addition, the company is "carbon neutral" and offers the
only 100% post-consumer recycled 28 lb. color copy paper available.
Any new pulp contained in the papers we use comes from managed forest farms,
all Forest Council Certified. All our paper waste is recycled and we use a hybrid
fuel vehicle. See the links on the right hand panel for additional information on
the U.S. paper industry's commitment to recycling and sustainability.
For projects ranging from large production runs to self-service copy jobs, we've
got the equipment and know-how that allows us to meet deadlines and offer
competitive pricing -- a Ricoh Pro 8120s, two Xerox DocuTechs and Canon self-serve
copiers.
We welcome self-publishers, specializing in short run, soft cover bound books.
We've had the pleasure of working with countless local authors both young and
old. Numerous teachers and parents from surrounding schools are clients and
we've printed scores of Master's and Doctoral theses, both on 20 lb. bond and
100% cotton papers. Plus, we print and bind course readers for Stanford, Foothill
College, and San Jose State.
Our full service bindery offers a wide array of binding options to suit the unique
needs of every project. We do saddle-stitch booklets as well as coil, wire-o, tape,
Velo (strip), and comb binding.
Additionally, we offer in house short and medium run perfect binding, also known
as quality trade or soft cover binding. Set up on the equipment is quick and
efficient such that we can do custom orders for just a few books, as well as larger
production quantities. Folding, scoring and cutting services are also available.
Our state-of-the-art Epson 9900 Stylus Pro inkjet plotter produces outstanding
prints on various materials ranging from high end photo to economy ink jet
papers. The 10 color Ultrachrome inks are fade-resistant and waterproof.
We offer mounting and laminating services. Our primary mounting material is
foam core, but Coroplast and Sintra are also options. For outdoor vinyl banners
and specialty signs, we partner with the area's best locally owned trade shops.
Copy Factory serves local and online customers from our facility on El Camino
Real in Palo Alto. Our brick-and-mortar storefront is located between El Camino
Way/Los Robles and Ventura one mile south of Page Mill Road, next to Star One
Credit Union. Free parking is available behind the building.
Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Saturdays - by appointment
Copy Factory opened in 1997. The current owners acquired the company in
February 2007. Implementing best practices gathered from years working for
the area's top printing companies, we are committed to providing Copy Factory's
customers with on-time, quality work at affordable prices. And with a passion for
customer service and satisfaction, we believe a successful project starts with
treating the customer with courtesy and respect.
The company's facility in Palo Alto, California, houses all the equipment needed
to manufacture practically any type of digital printing and bindery project. We
are particularly well-suited for shorter run documentation, quality bound books,
booklets, black & white and color digital printing and large format work.
