Our job is to deliver printed products and services that will, at a reasonable price, be unsurpassed by any printer at any price.

Fully digital prepress & imaging: Electronic file prep, digital proofs and plates from your files in PC and MAC formats. Give us a PDF or a digital file from any major graphics application and we will produce high quality digital proofs and direct-to-plate offset printing that works like it's supposed to. We also supply true digital printing, which includes personalization, variable data, and variable image from our HP Indigo digital press.

Mailing Services: Give us your data! We will CASS certify, eliminate duplicates, sort, address, prep and deliver to the post office; guaranteeing the lowest possible standard and first class postage rates.

Typesetting/graphics: Typesetting, technical production and project consulting are provided in-house. Creative layout, logo design, illustration and copywriting projects are referred to some of the finest graphics communication firms in the area.

Proofs: PDF, Inkjet, laser, and HP Indigo color proofs are produced according to the needs of the project. Please don't tell us "you trust us" and don't want to see a proof. We're good, but still capable of making mistakes (especially Jay).

Offset Printing: We operate 1, 2 and 4 color Heidelberg presses with a maximum sheet size of 14" x 20". These presses are the real thing - nice big solids, precise color control, perfect registration, and screen resolutions from 200 line to 10 micron stochastic. Larger format jobs are outsourced to run on equivalent 28" & 40" presses if required.

Digital Printing: Our HP Indigo 3050 is a digital offset printing press that uses liquid ink (not toner), a plate, and a blanket similar to offset printing. The major difference is the ability to personalize, and print variable data and variable images. In other words, we can print static (each sheet the same) or variable (each sheet personalized) at full speed. Our quality rivals offset, and is far superior to toner based copy equipment.

Bindery: Our programmable paper cutter, folder, padder and shrink wrapper handle most of our bindery. Letterpress work (die-cutting, foiling, embossing), and booklet making are sent to local finishers such as Golden Pacific Embossing, Miller's Bindery, Seattle Bindery and The Bindery. These guys are really good and super fast.

Digital archives: Electronic files on all projects are stored by job number indefinitely. We may have a hard time finding our tax return from last year, but we can produce your July, 1996 moving announcement Pagemaker 4.2 document in minutes if we need to.

Pickup & Delivery: Of course!
