Started in 1926, City Blue Print Company specialized in architectural and construction printing services, such as blueprinting and photography. City Blue Print Company merged with R.A. Ellis in 1993. R.A. Ellis produced digital imaging, precision photography and large color graphics for ad agencies, printers, and corporate marketing departments.

City Blue Imaging turned around an emergency job for us in half a business day. They were response, professional and thorough with their proofing and approval process - the end result was phenomenal! We are extremely happy with the quality, professionalism and speed at which we got our project completed.

I'm a Marketing Coordinator and the company I work for has been using City Blue for a few years now. They are prompt, professional, and their work never disappoints. I work a lot with Gretchen and Jim, who are both very friendly and quick to respond to requests. I'd very much recommend them for any printing services you or your company may need!

I was prospecting owner Mark Cleary regarding business and asked him if he would like me to generate a proposal. He agreed, and for several months following, has never responded to my requests for a follow-up meeting. I have received excuse after excuse by his staff that Mark has told them to tell me. I have no problem with someone not wanting to do business with me.

What I find extremely unprofessional is Mark wasting my time. As a professional, I would never disrespect someone with lack of communication. I would share with them that yes, I'm interested in doing business with you, or that I''m no longer interested. I believe I saw at least one other review here, regarding lack of communication from this company. I would never do business with someone, or an organization like this.

The quality of the work is superior to anyone else in town. Despite what other reviews say, the customer service was just fine. Will use them exclusively.

City Blue Imaging dry-mounted photographs for me for an art exhibition. The work was excellent. The second time I needed work dry-mounted for and exhibition I took the photographs to a local office supply store, because they were closer and I expected them to be less expensive. A big mistake. The office supply store didn't follow my instructions and butchered foam core board.

I had reprint, at considerable expense, the photographs. The reprinted photographs were taken to City Blue and again, they were mounted perfectly. Every print was exactly the same size and the foam core board looked like it had bee cut with a laser. The price for a perfect City Blue dry-mounting as less than the price charged by the office supply store.

City Blue turned the work around quickly and on-time. The counter people were nice to deal with and they were knowledgeable. I will never take my photos anywhere else to be mounted. I am their customer for life.

With a new online art store, we were looking for a second tier producer of our goods. We sell obscure classic pulp art prints and asked them for a price on a series of 24" x 36" color prints. The price from City Blue was 6 times higher than the current producer of our products. When we asked why, they answered that the price of the technology needed to do the printing was high.
