What People Are Saying About The Source Unltd Print and Copy Shop

The Owner

The Source Unltd Print and Copy Shop

Owner

The Source Unltd was chosen as The Village Voice Pick of the Year. According to the Village Voice, "Kinkos is a fluorescent, electrically humming chain that generates mass anxiety and fits of hysteria. But sidestepping the corporate anarchy altogether is easy at The Source Unltd, an independently run copy shop where long-haired male owner Santo has a magic touch on the buttons. No panic, no long waits. Santo is also a musician."

  1. Such nice people that go completely out of their way for you.
  2. But the big plus is the friendly spirit of the place set by owners Santo and Margaret and their lovable dog, Satch.
  3. There's the friendly vibe of a small town in there, though they've got the high-quality of a competitive city, the perfect combo.
  4. Cool people, cool vibe.

I wish I could give TEN stars

by TonkaNYC

When was the last time anyone working at Kinko's SHOOK YOUR HAND and said Thank You??????

Santo is awesome- he is on top of my jobs, emails me, calls, this is the anti-Kinko's. And I hope this shop never ever ever goes away!!!!!!!!!

Can't beat the pricing.

Can't beat the service.

I feel like I am an important customer.

Cool people, cool vibe.

I trust them and everything has been perfect.

They've got everything magically crammed in the shop...

I was recommended to go to this shop by another friend, and so here I am recommending it forward.

Truly a gem in my neighborhood.

  • Pros: GREAT PRICES, One on one service. NO MORE KINKO'S
  • Cons: none, none at all

Wouldn't go elsewhere!

by ThePoetryProject

The Source, Unltd. has been our organization's "in-house" printer since 1982! Santo and Margaret have always done a beautiful job with our journals, catalogs and reports. The best type of business is a trusted neighbor like The Source. They are quick, inexpensive, reliable and friendly. Poets love The Source!

Highest marks for this copy shop

by GregPie

I've been going to Santo at the Source for years. This place is a dream come true for writers?superb quality, low copy costs, fine attention to detail. You can e-mail your work to Santo, get the "overnight rate," and it'll be ready for you (and perfect) in the morning. In addition to being so good at what they do, they're really community-minded which we desperately need in the East Village, now that it's been Starbucksified. They've got a community events newsletter, a can drop-off for the hungry, and locally made cards and gifts. There's the friendly vibe of a small town in there, though they've got the high-quality of a competitive city, the perfect combo. Go there, even if it's a hike. Your days of Kinko's rage are over. My only complaint is that they can't clone themselves and set-up shop next to my writer friends all over the country.

Best copy shop in the East Village

by MandelandLydon

The Source is a storefront copy and stationery shop in the heart of the East Village (East 9th between 1st and Second Aves) where downtown musicians, actors, playwrights, poets, journalists, bloggers, video makers, and restaurant owners go to get their paperwork (and CD/DVD duping) done expertly, quickly, and at reasonable prices. But the big plus is the friendly spirit of the place set by owners Santo and Margaret and their lovable dog, Satch. People go into the Source to get their work done, then stay to talk about art, music, politics, and exchange business cards--countless guitarists have found their drummers, playwrights their leading ladies, while getting their resumes made up at the Source.

  • Pros: Friendly neighborhood feeling, artists' meeting place
  • Cons: none
