We are very proud of our reputation and the fresh new look that we have on the web. We are truly one of the few "trade only" printers that the DFW area has. What does "trade only" mean? Good question, it simply means that we only print to resellers such as brokers, distributors, other printers and agencies, but not to direct customers or end users.From our entire family at Spartan, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to handle your next print project, and would love to hear your thoughts of the new website at vincet@spartanprinting.com.

Services
Spartan's roots have been firmly planted in Arlington's Great Southwest Industrial District since 1963. When the Trebilcock family purchased Spartan in 1985, the company provided blueprinting services to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, with eight employees in a 8500 sq. As the company grew, we expanded our services by offering printing to direct customers and eventually to printing brokers.
Our goal is to work in partnership with our customers, by making their jobs easier out in the market place. You can be confident we will deliver a quality product in a timely manner. When we succeed in this endeavor, we feel that you and your customer will return to Spartan for your next printing project. By providing consistent service, day in and day out, we are successfully fulfilling our goal.
Every year the Printing and Imaging Association (PIA) presents awards to those companies who excel in quality printing. Each printed piece is reviewed for the technical merit and quality of the print job. If the piece is found to have no flaws, it receives an Award of Merit. These pieces then compete for an Award of Excellence, Best of Category, and finally Best of Division.
In any business, the customer is the most important factor to its success. At Spartan, we know our success is directly influenced by your success. We work hard to understand and solve your challenges, by working closely with you to find solutions. A few words that have been used to describe us have been: reliable, dependable, trustworthy, honest, accurate and very detail oriented. In the end, we consider ourselves an extension of your success. Spartan Printing is a valued partner for us at Optimal Graphic Solutions.

I hired Spartan to print a color piece for me. They were given the art, a physical go-by as well as a custom made die for cutting. For some reason, they changed the size of my piece and added a white border to it. They brought in a larger die-cut as well, without reaching out to me or having any discussion about it. I went in for 2 press checks and everything looked great.
I saw my artwork on a white background. When my delivery arrived it was the wrong size and had a white border. It was devastating. I sell this piece globally, it is trademarked. I can't just change it. Why on earth would any professional printer change the art on a job? They had a go-by in their hands the whole time. How did no one think to ask about it? Spartan told me that I approved the job and therefore it was my fault.
They sent me an email exchange that had notes about the changes buried in it. No highlighting, no heads up that there were notes forwarded in an email. They took no responsibility at all. They said the pdf proof had a blue line around it and I should have noticed it and understood what it was. Everyone I have spoken to since in the commercial printing world agrees that Spartan botched it on many levels.
After much prompting, they said they didn't use my die-cut because they didn't think it would work. Other questions I had about how this series of mistakes happened were ignored. Because time was an issue I printed a second run with them using my original art and my custom die. The finished product is perfect. Why this wasn't done the first time is beyond me. If they would have used my die it would have all been fine. Not a great experience. Costs were double and instead of 4-5 weeks, this job took 12.
