Services
Graphic Communications has been providing high-quality print-related services to the south Puget Sound region since 1984. Personalized service, high-quality offset and digital printing and a quick-turnaround are what our customers expect. These are the same standards we require of ourselves; making you look your best makes us look our best.
At Graphic Communications, our Heidelberg presses consistently produce extremely accurate, sharp, and high quality images and type. Full and two-color newsletters, booklets, letterhead, business cards, training materials, invitations, forms, and envelopes can be quickly produced. Reprinting is simple. We save your electronic file, films and, most often, plates. With offset printing, the more you order, the less you pay per piece.
Our digital press can print on just about any type of stock at sizes up to 13 x 19 inches. From glossy cover stock to uncoated labels, we can produce a 12.875 x 18.875 inch image that meets stringent printing standards. Our digital press has variable-data features that allows you to create unique, personalized printed pieces that are merged seamlessly with your mailing list.
Giclee (pronounced "zhee-clay"), is the process of making archival-quality, fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclee" is derived from the French word "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". The word Giclee was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker.

Superior work. I have had great customer service. They have reached out to help me have the correct templates for setting up my cards correctly. If I didn't like a proof they always corrected the colors to match my original artwork. Pam is kind and friendly. Doug the owner has been very gracious. I have had my paintings scanned and printed by several other printers and Graphic Communications has been superior. Thank you so much for taking care and caring for your customers.

I'm just gonna leave an honest review - they suck. I've used them twice and every print they've made for me has had dirty fingerprint oils on it because they don't wear gloves. Real pros here, guys. On one print, the borders are uneven. On two other prints, they've added borders when told not to. So I have to clean and cut the prints myself. Also the first time they lost my phone number or something so my time-sensitive print was a week late.
The second time, the front desk lady was condescending in correcting me about a technical detail which she was in fact wrong about -.PNGs can be saved as lossless, honey. Incidentally, Walgreens offers the superior quality product because they cut the borders correctly, don't leave fingerprints and use superior non-generic inks. And if they mess up, they'll fix their mistake and still have the print done the same day. So in conclusion, if you want fine art giclee prints in Olympia, Walgreens is the best option.

I have been working with Graphic Communications for several years now and I have never been disappointed. They do quality work with quick turn around. I have ordered everything from business cards to large photos and the quality is amazing. I love Graphic Communications because they are local and have the friendliest staff. Half of the time I am not quite sure what kind of printing, color types, paper, etc I need but they always take the time and walk through all of the options with me. They are the best!

Knowledgeable, detail-oriented, great customer service. Doug won't let it leave the shop if he isn't happy with the quality of the work. That means I always get excellent printing and exceptional service at a great price. They'll let me know ahead of time if something I've sent them won't print the way I expect, and they'll even offer ideas for cutting costs if possible.
