On-Demand Finishing — One-stop Shops

Often times, digital and conventional printing methods can serve as mutual catalysts. This has been the case for Seattle-based Emerald City Graphics, a 75-employee printer with sales in the $14 million range.

According to Mark Steiner, president of Emerald City, the sheetfed printer thrives on a number of big-ticket clients in the great Northwest—Microsoft, Boeing and Starbucks. Primarily a general commercial printer, Emerald—also a member of the CGX organization—produces a fair measure of short- and medium-run books and manuals.
