Foote Printing: Keeping Clients Happy

Posted By Mike Duhr
May 30, 2018 Category: General

Hello! It’s Mike Duhr, the owner of Foote Printing. I want to thank those of you who are repeat customers, and to invite new and future customers to learn more about Foote Printing. Our base of repeat customers certainly like our work, our reliability, and competitive prices. They also like what I call “the ethical amenities” of doing business with Foote Printing. These amenities include working with a union shop powered by solar energy. These things are important to us, of course, but they are equally important to a clientele committed to Cleveland’s future, and to the economic prosperity of Cleveland’s present. Here are just some of our clients’ favorite amenities of working with our family-owned shop, established here in Cleveland in 1907. Our Union Staff Foote Printing is a union shop, and its staff belong to the Northeast Ohio Allied Printing Trades Council. Many of our clients opt to include the union sticker—or “bug”—on printed materials, in order to assure their own clients that the women and men who assembled these materials receive good wages and benefits. For others: it’s about the assurance of quality and craftsmanship, along with the timely delivery of high-quality, fairly-priced goods and services. Powered by the Sun In summer 2016, we installed an array of solar panels on our rooftop. Summer 2017 offered plenty of sunshine in Northeast Ohio and, on select days, solar energy provided 85% of

Offset Printing vs. Digital Printing: A Primer

My mother gave me my first digitally-printed photo: a snapshot from my wedding reception in summer 2001. She printed it that night and gave it to us the next day. The dull hues of the photo were well-pixelated. It looked like a sun-bleached photocopy of a photocopy. Today, digital printing is far more technologically advanced, and its products are often indistinguishable from those of offset printing. (In brief: digital printing entails backing four-color toner powder onto the page. Offset printing entails the transfer of the inked image from a plate to a roller and onto the page.) Digital printing certainly has its advantages: small-batch runs can be completed in under two days, and updates to the image itself can be handled quickly. Offset printing has its own advantages, and we encourage you to learn more from one of our staff members here in Cleveland—especially if your next order of brochures, flyers, or booklets includes 500 units or more. With offset printing, the economies of scale are impressive. For some jobs, an order of 1000 may cost only a few dollars more than an order of 500. (Use our direct mail marketing services to save even more time and money.) While digital printing color standards continue to rise, offset printing remains the best option for getting the colors you want just right. Foote Printing is a family-owned print shop here in Cleveland, OH. We specialize in offset printing, digital printing, and wide format printing. We also offer
