A lot has changed since J.B. Gray & Son opened its doors in downtown Portland's Davis Building in 1945. In those days, type had to be set by hand, print jobs could take weeks, and color printing was beyond the reach of most budgets. Things look much different today. The Davis Building is long-gone, digital technologies have streamlined most of the laborious and time-consuming prepress work, large print jobs can be completed literally overnight, and full-color printing is now the norm.Indeed, full-color digital printing is often less expensive than printing a single color on a traditional letterpress!

Files should be submitted as Press-Ready PDFs (sometimes called "Press-Quality" in certain programs). If your file includes graphics, the best way to save them is as a TIF in CMYK color space with LZW compression prior to placing them in your layout. TIF files are the industry standard for graphic reproduction and, unlike JPG, LZW compression does not cause any loss of quality.

J.B. Gray is simply an excellent printer! They have produced brochures, trade show graphics, business cards, and labels -- all of which are critical to our business. The print quality has always been top-notch and their staff very responsive to our needs. They have also handled several direct mail postcards for us, ensuring that our design passed muster with the post office, and saving us the hassle of setting up our own bulk mailing account. Highly recommended.

My experience with J.B. Gray Printing has been extraordinary. I don't typically use that word to describe service or products. unless deserved. We've been working with this company for several years now and they've never let us down. I especially appreciate the attention to detail and beautiful print work they provide.
