OFFSET & DIGITAL PRESSES |

Today, you can simply FTP us your file and we will send it directly to the Document Center where every page that comes out is an original. We will also drop-ship to any location on earth. The first set looks just as great as the 1,000,000th! Our general commercial work is produced with 200-line screens. PRINTERY also pioneered our industry with environmental sustainable solutions. In 1985, we were the first on the West Coast to completely eliminate harmful isopropyl alcohol from our printing process, and to use vegetable-based inks (with less than 1% VOC's). You may select our eco-friendly aqueous or UV coatings. |

Hours of Operation |
GICLÉE PRINTING |
Print artwork made using a specialized ink spray process (Giclée is French for "to spray" and pronounced Zhee-clay). The Giclée print is unmatched in its exquisite color and razor-sharp details, and has quickly become the new print standard for museums, galleries, publishers and artists. First captured digitally and then refined by the artist and master printer through a series of proofs to ensure the color and clarity, the Giclée print is the closest possible reproduction of an original artwork afforded by technology. Both the ink and archival paper onto which the image is transferred offer over 100-year light-fastness and UV-resistance under proper storage conditions. |

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY |
“I had the good fortune of meeting Mike and Prtintery Communications over 15 years ago; they have been my exclusive printer/designer ever since. Mike and his team have been instrumental to my companies over the years. Not only do they provide top-quality print work, they actively seek ways to help my business grow and save money. For example, they provided a material management solution that allowed us to order in large quantities, stage the material at their warehouse, and take delivery in smaller batches; few other printers would have even thought of such a solution, much less been able to execute on the idea. I consider Printery just as meaningful to my business as Fedex or UPS. We have utilized many of their solutions such as digital/offset print, wide format indoor/outdoor signage, data management, and mailing capabilities. We have consistently received the highest quality service and product. It is my pleasure to recommend Printery Communications.” – Mike Stevens, CEO at Northpoint Social Media "The quality of our FSC paper/ full color 16pp mailer PRINTERY did for us can be attributed to our more than 10% increase in sales over last year though we sent 1/4 as many mailers! Thanks to PRINTERY for the quality, timeliness and mailing execution of our Mailer." - Russ Steele, Audubon Society "Diane was extremely accommodating, providing a number of estimates due to our changing requirements. We also delayed our original delivery date by one week, and the staff at the PRINTERY again adapted to meet our needs. We are extremely satisfied with the level of professionalism of the staff and the quality of the product. Thank you! - Mike Stevens |
