Printing/Copying

With printing equipment to accommodate your printing needs both large and small, we are ready when your project needs to be done. For the fastest turn-around, we offer high speed, high quality digital copiers capable of producing more than 16,000 black and white copies per hour and nearly 6,000 full color copies per hour. The benefits of our digital copiers include:

  • High-resolution print that rivals commercial offset printing
  • Flexibility to print presentation quality color in small quantities
  • Ability to customize print jobs using mail merge
  • First generation quality on each copy with the ability to send various file formats directly to the copier

Additionally, we offer many choices when it comes to size, paper and print types.


Commercial Printing

When you have a little more time in your schedule or you have large volumes or specialty finishing needs, it just so happens that “we know a guy.” Because we are powered by Sigler, we have direct access to the resources Sigler offers without having to inflate prices by outsourcing work that is too much for our our quick-print location to handle. The possibilities are endless! If you don’t need your project immediately you may be able to take advantage of additional cost-savings opportunities.

Call 515.292.3121 or stop by for more information or to discuss your specific project and how we might be able to assist you.

Apparel

If you can wear it, we can decorate it. From personal, individual garment requests to corporate uniforms and apparel, we manage production on site at our Sigler location on Aviation Way. Three’s no middle man which means you can count on us to be stewards of your branding and to always provide the highest quality products.
