About Us

Years of experience and attention to detail make our prepress department one of the best in the area. We give you more than just type on paper.

Let us help you create and design a poster, flyer, brochure, newsletter, or any other printed material. We'll make it eyecatching, professional, and unique. Or, we can create a form to streamline your business procedures.

When you provide electronic files for us to print from, we will preflight the files when the disks arrive, and notify you of any anticipated problems, or missing elements. There is no charge for this service.

Our prepress department is equipped with both Mac's and PC's, so we can work with your digital files from either platform. We accept files in all of the standard graphics programs, and properly prepared high-resolution pdf files. In addition, we can handle (with some limitations) MS Office and MS Publisher files. Provide your files via email, CD, DVD, or request a user name and password to access our FTP site. (Rewritable CD's sometimes will not read properly, so try to avoid this medium). We are happy to answer any questions that you have concerning the preparation or transfer of your files.

We've installed top-of-the line Computer to Plate equipment to improve the quality of your printed piece. Our pdf workflow maintains the integrity of your files from start to finish. Our system automatically detects and corrects trapping and then thermally images aluminum plates to give crisper dots and more accurate positioning than ever before possible. And our new workflow and CTP have shortened the time it takes to get your job on press!

For short run full color, let us output your files to our Canon IR 3220 color laser printer, or our Konica high-speed digital black and white copier.
