New York Printers — One State, Two Worlds

Steve Vid, Merlin Printing: We’re extremely responsive in respect to turnaround. People are constantly amazed at how fast we do things. A lot of that stems from doing 98 percent of the work in-house.

Howie Weinstein, Candid Litho: We have an advantage with our location; we do a tremendous amount of retail printing—Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s. On-site press OKs are a pretty common sight here. To go from Manhattan to Long Island City is about a five- minute subway ride.
