What kind of printing does Pinball offer?
We specialize in custom offset printing—that means we offer spot color printing as well as 4-color process printing. We offer a wide range of fun print items, with a focus on sustainable stationery, high-impact promotional materials, and creative booklet options. We are also a "green" shop with a specially picked selection of in-house/stocked recycled papers and soy-based inks.
How did the shop start?
Pinball Publishing grew out of the owners Laura and Austin's desire to be involved in their own design projects from conception to final printed manifestation. In the search for a quality offset printing vendor, it became clear that:
- Design sensitive, sustainably minded printing facilities are few and far between.
- The personal service and understanding of a project were all but missing.
- The enthusiasm for the magic of printing had vanished.
We took this as a challenge to provide custom offset print options with a focus on understanding our clients' vision in an enthusiastic, design sensitive environment where novice to professional can purchase the highest level of quality with the best service in the industry.
Any favorite designers/collaborators you enjoy working with?
Our Creative Resource Center includes many of the designers and artists who we work with on a regular basis. Our favorite clients represent a combination of creative skill and a collaborative spirit. These two elements paired with Pinball's printing make for exceptional outcomes.
What are some of your favorite projects that you've printed?
Many of our favorite print projects are featured on our print blog, CoinOp.
Why "Pinball"?
While it's business in the front, there's a party in the back. We don't ever want to forget that we're in it because we enjoy it. If we ever stop having fun, we'll close our doors. And besides, what's more fun than Pinball?!
