Garland Printing

Garland Printing was started by E.F. "Breezy" and Charlotte Bruesehoff in the basement of their home with only one hand fed printing press and a Linotype machine for producing the metal type in use at that time. For the first ten years, Garland Printing served its customers from the basement shop. This was the year that the business outgrew its basement location and the print shop moved lock, stock and presses to 817 West Garland. Increasing business opportunities led to the purchase of a Goss Community Web press.

Make sure you select the right color type: spot, process or Pantone. Any spot or Pantone color must have an identical name defined in your layout and its associated files to prevent the color from being treated as a process color. CVU, CV, etc. extensions to the color name must also be identical in all associated files.

Choosing the fonts for a particular project can be a difficult process for many people. There are a few general rules that many designers and layout artists follow to make the process a little easier. Keep the contrast between the type and the background as high as possible for easy readability. Black type on a white background is best; reversing is second.
