I get a lot of large print jobs done here for my work, and Karly in the print shop (Fort Copy) always delivers super quickly and is very friendly and helpful. Pricing is competitive and the quality is excellent.

Cartoonishly overpriced. I was able to find everything I bought at the store online for a fraction of the price. Sales person, (the taller one with glass)was mediocre, gave me bad information ( wanted me to buy a $80 30lb easel instead of just using the Buddha board for thin canvas stand). Pushed the most expensive product. When I came back to return the (50$ 5 tubes of paint), since it was close to closing time instead of taking the return he talked me down. Then to top it off, after spending close to $200 at the store, the same sales person I had just dealt with refused to acknowledge me once we were outside the store. Mind you this was 3 minutes after. Very pretentious. Will never recommend. I cross referenced the inkjet cartridges with other stores and yes, these guys are price gaugers. $43.40 black inkjet cartridge at London Drugs - the same model- $85 at this store.

I had such an amazing experience with Monk Office, even though I wasn’t the one shopping there directly! A friend bought me a beautiful deep sea-colored hardcover notebook from their 905 Fort Street location as a gift while I was recovering from surgery. Not only was it the perfect gift for journaling my healing journey, but on the day of purchase, Monk Office was offering complimentary embossing with that notebook and they personalized it with my name in stunning gold lettering.
That extra touch completely made my day. In a time when so many businesses are scaling back on extras and customer perks, Monk Office went above and beyond to create a memorable and meaningful experience. I didn’t know much about them before, but after looking them up, I was so impressed to learn they’re a family-owned local business with a core value of “Creating Amazing Customer Experiences.” They’re absolutely living up to that promise.
I’m now the proud owner of a high-quality, personalized notebook that makes me feel special every time I open it. I’m so grateful to Monk Office for offering such thoughtful touches that turn a simple purchase into something extraordinary. Highly recommend!

I was looking for scanning or photocopying of sensitive written material approximately 1500 pages. Joe at the scanning/photocopying desk thought he could have it done by end of week and it would cost approximately $500.00. There was some repair to paper that was needed. He agreed to do it. This smallish but important project was done the next day for under $200.00. Joe was kind and reassuring to me during these transactions. I had been in contact with 2 other companies. Both had minimum payments of $ 2000.00 and $ 1000.00 respectfully. Neither company could give me the name of a company that could do this smaller job. I so appreciate this Victoria company and the kind, efficient service I got from Joe and other members of staff. I left my cell phone behind by mistake and when I returned at 5:00 pm ISH, a kind staff member got off his bike, went back into the closed up store and retrieved my cell phone there and then. THANK YOU.

I would like to acknowledge Mark in the Framing department for the very professional service my sister and I experienced when we visited on Monday Nov 4 2024. What a pleasure it is to encounter an artistic soul with a generous heart and a skill set with which to produce superior results. It was a special framing task -a gift for my nephew’s 50 birthday from his mom (my sister); a treasured piece of art he produced during his studies at UBC when was about 18 yrs old. Mark managed in short order to help my sister sort and select perfect mats and framing for her treasure and make this a perfect 50th bday gift. Thank you Mark! We will be back with more projects to get your stellar assistance.

In preparation for an exhibition Monk Copy and Framing Centre at Fort St. are...in short, FANTASTIC! Both Karly and Rob each have made a special effort to ensure posters, handbills and framing are done to perfection! They are professional, precise and personable...always a ready smile...even the "artist last minute stuff" which they take on willingly. I couldn't hope for more!

Such helpful staff who really know the art materials and supplies they sell (and they're great at problem solving when you have a specific need and aren't sure what would work best). Have been shopping here for decades when it was Island Blue Print, and glad that the products and staff are just as good now. ?
