Printing has come a long way since Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1440, but one thing has remained the same: the attention to detail necessary to produce high-quality printing.

Bindery Today, even with the help of computers and digital technology, printing is a complex, skilled process. If the color adjustment is not exact, paper weight is not accounted for, or measurements are off by a millimeter, a print can come out of the press wildly different than intended.

Press Just ask Catamount Color in Essex, Vermont. The presses in their 70,000-square-foot building run around-the-clock to produce brochures, catalogues, newspaper inserts, mailers, flyers, and signs. Catamount Color has machines that cut intricate designs, bind pamphlets, and seal envelopes. Printing orders are processed on two web presses, which process large orders quickly because they use rolls of paper instead of sheets, as well as several sheet-fed presses to print smaller orders.

Designs can be uploaded to Catamount Color using FTP technology. Then the finished products are mailed directly from Catamount Color which has a Postal clerk on site.

Proofing at Catamount Color The Offset House was started as a small print shop in the early 1970's by John and Mary McGrath and has grown into an operation that fulfills orders from around the country.
