Allen Cook - who has been my point of contact at your company for a couple years - is immensely valuable to your company. I have had salesmen from your competitors such as Southwest Precision Printers come to the office trying to get us to switch to their less expensive printing services but Allen is the reason I continue to print with Alpha Graphics
Anna S.
I worked with Carlos Pena when it was Precision. He scanned a 26 report for me after putting it together from three pieces (all in different formats). I'll be back.

The job was done perfectly and extremely quickly. The pricing was very reasonable as well. Customer service was excellent!!!
Maggie T.
I would especially like to commend Robert Rios on his professionalism and customer service; he is actually the reason I continue to do business with alphagraphics for our printing needs. In this digital age, I think many companies do not realize the impact customer service (speaking to a real person who takes the time to effectively communicate with customers) means to us.
Mary C.
I had a great experience from my initial email until I picked up my order. Robert was very helpful and friendly, helped me pick the right stock for my order, and helped me make sure the colors were correct in the print. I will definitely be making more orders with y’all soon. Thank you!
Kara T.
Carlos is great and he knows what he is doing. Always fast service and quality products.

The entire team downtown is strongly committed to my projects' successes. They are professional, detail oriented, and easy to work with.
Dianne S.
Allen, Chris, Carlos, Keoh, and Sonja are all so great to work with. Nothing but top level customer service—all the time. I really appreciate Allen and Chris's depth of knowledge of the old-school printing industry and processes. I have the same experience and years in this business and having a vendor that knows more than I do about printing is one reason why we keep sending work to Allen and his team.

ORDER QUESTIONS
HOW DO I GET AN ESTIMATE?
You can fill out an online estimate request form, or call and talk with one of our team members.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY ORDER TO BE COMPLETED?
Most jobs take 24-48 hours to complete once approval is received; though offset press projects take longer. If you’re working within a time constraint, let us know when you call for a quote. We can look at our print production schedule to ensure that you will meet your deadline.
DO YOU OFFER DELIVER AND PICK-UP?
Yes, we offer free local delivery and pickup of your projects within our main service areas.
FILE DETAILS
WHAT FILE FORMAT IS PREFERRED FOR DIGITAL DOCUMENTS?
We prefer PDFs (Portable Document Format) with a minimum 1/8” bleed and crop marks. Most office and design programs allow you to save or export your files into a PDF format. Occasionally, the original file may be needed if artwork edits are required.
WHAT RESOLUTION DO MY PHOTOS AND GRAPHICS NEED TO BE SET TO?
Resolution should be set to 300 dpi. Pictures and graphics pulled from the internet are often low resolution, typically 72 dpi or 96 dpi. Avoid these graphics, as they will appear pixelated and blocky when printed. Also, save all photos in CMYK mode, not RGB when possible. Images saved in RGB mode may not print properly. If you are unable to save your image in CYMK mode, please let us know.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY FONTS WILL LOOK CORRECT?
The best way to ensure your artwork fonts will print correctly is to send them as outlined objects in your original file. If your program doesn’t allow this, packaging or sending us the fonts will work as well. If you have a question about how to send your fonts properly, please call us and we’ll be glad to help.
