Print Works is a division of Presque Isle-based Northeast Publishing Company. The firm has actually been printing — everything from business cards to full-color brochures — since the 1960s. In fact, some company employees have been with the local printer long before it adopted its current name and logo in 1988.
Roger Tremblay, NEP director of operations, has seen lots of paper roll through the press over his 35-plus years at the publishing company. In fact, although he manages several dozen employees today, he started out as a printer and isn’t afraid to roll up his sleeves and get an ink smudge or two.
“Print Works is proud of its ability to handle all types of projects; from the highest tech electronic file, to your brainstorm scribbled on a napkin,” said Tremblay. “We like to say, ‘If you can think of it, we can print it!'”
If you can’t think of it, that’s all right too. Drop by the Print Works office at 260 Missile St. in Presque Isle and see Customer Service Representatives Lisa Nadeau or Kirk Lilley; or call Account Executive Fay York, who will drive the colorful Print Works van to your place of business. The Print Works team has created a lively display from samples and signage produced at the Presque Isle printing plant.
“When you place your bridal announcement order, we take 20 percent off the catalog price,” said Nadeau. “We like to call it an early wedding gift. We can even make enlargements of newspaper stories and photos that our customers have wanted to frame and hang on the wall at their place of business … it is a very nice touch,” she said.
A partial list of other Print Works products and services includes graduation announcements, thank-you notes, personalized calendars, banners, display materials, single- and multi-page forms of all types, as well as brochures, newsletters and color copying. The list goes on and on.
A combination of the latest technology and highly skilled staff make Print Works, able to take on a variety of print jobs and turn them around on time, on budget, and, most importantly, on the mark.
Said Tremblay, “If our customers don’t look good, we don’t look good.”
