Encourage Local Prosperity

Why Not Buy Printing Locally?

Think local first and buy local when you can

A growing body of economic research shows that in an increasingly homogenized world, entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest – and settle – in communities that preserve one-of-a-kind, locally owned businesses.

Get Better Service

Local Service is Better Service

We speak your language here, and we don't use a script.

We hire local people who live in this community and are invested in our community's future. Our customer service reps have a better understanding of the products they sell and take more time to get to know customers.

Buy Local When You Can

When You Buy Local, You Support Yourself

Buy local when you can

Studies repeatedly show that when you buy from an independent, locally owned business, rather than an out-of-town, nationally owned business, significantly more of your money stays in our community – supporting other local businesses like yours.

Buy What You Want...

We Don't Sell Printing...
We Help You Buy It

Sure, you can buy printing online and out-of-town, but at what price? With out-of-town printers, you're often given just a few options to choose from, instead of the many options our printing firm provides. Do you really want your company's identity to look like a thousand other companies?

How Can We Help You?

Instant Online Pricing

e-commerce function

Instant Online Pricing

How many times have you visited a website, looking for a product, only to get frustrated because no pricing information is available? Not on our website. Our instant pricing tool is simple to use. See quickly how each decision you make—from paper stock to ink choices to bindery and folding options—affects your bottom line. You'll get a quick and accurate price every time.

Online Estimating

e-commerce function

Online Estimating

Need an estimate on a printing project, before you commit to having it done? Whether you're planning a simple piece with few requirements or a more complex project that involves advanced services such as design, bindery, mailing, or marketing, we'll provide a quick, accurate estimate to help you plan your budget.

Online Ordering

e-commerce function

Online Ordering

Order your printing safely and securely straight from our website. Our order forms make it easy, and reorders are a breeze. Plus, you can track your orders all the way through to completion and view your complete order history anytime. If you order the same printing products frequently, ask us about creating a document library to save even more time.

Send a File

e-commerce function

Send a File

Everyone uses the Internet to exchange information. But what if the information you need to exchange is in the form of a huge graphic file? No problem! Our website lets you send files of virtually any size effortlessly and securely, without the hassle of a traditional FTP. Plus, our email confirmation and online job tracking system eliminate the worry of not knowing if the file made it through.

Online Proofing

e-commerce function

Online Proofing

We all want things to be quick and easy, don't we? Our online proofing system is both. In addition to the instant proofing options available with uDesignIT! and Adobe PDF JobReady, we provide online digital proofs for orders that require them. When a proof is ready, we email a link, so you can view the proof securely on our website. While there, you can approve the proof, reject it, or suggest changes - all from the same secure screen. What could be simpler than that?

Customer Portals

e-commerce function

Customer Portals

The first time you do business on our website, we'll automatically create an account for you in our Online Print Center. There, you'll be able to track orders, view order histories, update credentials, view proofs, and reorder your printing. We can even create a branded portal for your entire organization if you'd like, complete with branches, document libraries, company managers, order approval hierarchies, custom notifications, inventory management, and more.

Document Library

e-commerce function

Document Library

The document library is our term for the set of online order forms unique to your company or to specific departments or branches within your organization. Each item represents a specific printed piece. For example, if you have 10 different printed forms that get used throughout your company, you'd have 10 separate document library items set up - one for each form. Document libraries make it easy to order, track, and inventory your most frequently used printed items.

uDesignIT!

e-commerce function

uDesignIT!

uDesignIT! makes it easy to personalize "templated" items, such as business cards, that are used throughout your organization. Items appear as part of your document library and include an instant proof that updates automatically as you fill out the form. Changes are not limited to text alone. Images, backgrounds, colors, and fonts can all be made variable, as well, for even greater flexibility.

Adobe PDF JobReady

e-commerce function

Adobe PDF JobReady

Want a simple way to send us your digital files without worrying about fonts and images getting left behind? Want to "print" your files straight to our website from within any program-even if we don't have the same software, version, or fonts as you? Want to rest easy knowing your printing will look exactly like what you see onscreen? Want real-time feedback that lets you troubleshoot and eliminate production snags before they happen? Of course you do. We can help.
