Print Industry Consulting
Built by a Printer. For Printers.
40 years of hands-on print production, design, and operations — applied directly to your shop. We offer practical, experienced consulting that helps print service providers grow, streamline, and compete.
Five Areas. One Partner.
Whether you need help with one specific challenge or a full operational overhaul, we work with you at whatever depth makes sense.
Color Management
Inconsistent color costs print shops clients, reprints, and reputation. As a G7 Color Expert and Adobe Certified professional with decades of color-critical production experience, we build the calibration workflows, ICC profiles, and QC processes that make your output predictable and repeatable — every press, every substrate, every time.
Perfect for: Shops struggling with color consistency, client reprints, or expanding to new substrates or equipment
Equipment Streamlining
The wrong equipment mix destroys margins and throughput. We audit your current fleet, identify bottlenecks, and map the right equipment strategy for your volume, substrate mix, and growth targets — whether that means right-sizing, adding capability, or eliminating underperforming assets.
Perfect for: Shops experiencing production bottlenecks, evaluating new equipment purchases, or looking to increase output without adding headcount
Product Improvements & Expansion
Most print shops are leaving revenue on the table with their current product mix. We identify the high-margin additions that make sense for your equipment and customer base — new substrates, finishing options, specialty services — and build the production and pricing frameworks to launch them profitably.
Perfect for: Shops ready to expand revenue without adding major capital, or looking to move upmarket with specialty offerings
Marketing & Advertising
Print shops often do exceptional work but struggle to communicate it. We build the marketing strategy, channel mix, and campaign infrastructure that turns your quality and expertise into a consistent pipeline — organic search, social content, local partnerships, referral programs, and paid channels calibrated to your market and budget.
Perfect for: Shops relying entirely on word-of-mouth, looking to add structured marketing channels, or needing to accelerate new customer acquisition
Full Business Setup & Operations
Starting a print operation — or restructuring an existing one — involves more moving parts than most operators anticipate. With a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt background and decades of operational experience, we set up or overhaul any major component of your business: accounting systems, order management workflows, lease negotiations, vendor contracts, staffing plans, and the operational SOPs that make everything run without you in the room.
Perfect for: New print shop startups, shops that have outgrown their current systems, and owner-operators looking to build a business that runs independently
