How Was "Kinko's" Named?

From Wikipedia:

FedEx Kinko's is a chain of stores that provide printing, copying, and binding services with more than 1200 centres in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. The company was founded in 1970 by Paul Orfalea, whose nickname was "Kinko" because of his curly hair. In February 2004 Kinko's was bought by FedEx for $2.4 billion and is now known as FedEx Kinko's Office and Print Center.
