Here’s a handy checklist to help you rest easy so that your job will run smoothly.
- Did you package your file to include the correct file formats? (PDF, Ai, Id)
- Do you have a print-ready PDF including bleed?
- Does your packaged file include fonts?
- Are all your colors in 4-color or PMS colors? Do you have all of your black-and-white images in greyscale?
- Are all your images the best they can be? 300 dpi or higher (we will print lower-res files, but the quality will be diminished)
If you meet all these requirements, then you’re ready to send us your file!

Zach KriseMarch 26, 2024I recently had a great experience with Colortech. Austin and all of the employees I interacted with were very personable, responsive, and took a very non-standard request from me, talked through it and made it happen. I can’t recommend them enough and will definitely be going to them in the future for my needs! Thanks again!

Keri KellyFebruary 13, 2024Colortech is a valued partner. It doesn't matter what crazy project we throw at them they get it done. We don't worry when they are in charge, they exceed expectations. The entire team is awesome!!!
Shelly ClokeyFebruary 12, 2024Colortech is one of the most responsive printing partners I have ever used. They have the best customer service. Very quick in turning around both estimates and jobs…and quality is top notch. Thank you Austin and the rest of the team!
Ben SchlossNovember 10, 2023Have been working with Colortech for several years now and have nothing but great things to say. They are very responsive, quality of work is excellent and their pricing is always fair. They are a family owned company and it always feels that way in dealing with them. Austin, our sales rep, is a great guy who takes the time to do the little things and ask the right questions. He stops by our office every now and then just to say hello and drop off delicious Lebanon pretzels. Highly recommend!
StoneRidgeJuly 27, 2023We have partnered with Colortech with many of our business printing needs. Not only is their printing quality incredible but their customer service is off the charts. I have had nothing but great customer service from everyone I have had contact with at Colortech. Austin, Rick, Sondra, Samantha and the whole team always go out of their way to turn our projects around quickly, meet timelines, budgets and produce stellar pieces. Very happy to work with a local printer who is so pleasant to do business with. Hugely recommend!!
Richard ShadleJune 8, 2023Great Family business to work with!!! Always great pricing and quality product. On many occasions they have exceeded expectations with getting me important printed literature quickly to meet my own deadlines!! Customer Service is A-one!
Taylor ShepleyMay 17, 2023Colortech helped me turn an old, brittle blueprint of my family feed store into a high quality print for me to frame in my office. I wasn’t sure if this was something that could be done, or if anyone was willing to attempt, but they said yes without hesitation. Turnaround was quick, and super affordable. They treated me like family when I walked in, and explained the process to me so we both had a full understanding of what was to be delivered.
