Oce' Colorwave 600



I have some great news for our customers that use RNW for their large format color projects -
Reprographics Northwest (Seattle Division) has just upgraded our Large Format Color Equipment to the Oce' Colorwave 600. This machine is being set up in our color department today and they are running some test prints on it to calibrate the color output. The prints are truly amazing.
I saw a print of a very large, very detailed map and it was really impressive. The best way I can describe it is that the prints come out with a poster like quality. If you are a tech type person and want to learn more about the technical capabilities of this machine you can read about our new toy on the Oce' website.

We've Won the Triple Crown!!!

Reprographics Northwest has been reconized with a
King County Best Workplace for Recycling award
for the third year in a row!


There’s no getting around it: we’re a printing company — and most print media out there are still developed from wood pulp. But this has only strengthened our resolve to become the most responsible reprographer we can be. We recognize our clients’ growing need to design and build green, and we believe it is the job of today’s printing professionals to play an active part in achieving this goal.

How many trees did it take to print your 1200-page project manual?
The answer is a resounding “zero” if you chose to print it on Harbor 100 — the locally-produced, 100% Recycled paper from Gray’s Harbor Papers.
Mohawk Color Copy paper is also100% Recycled and manufactured with wind power. It is also available in card stock weights.

The design world has decried the lack of a recyclable presentation board for years. With two earth-friendly alternatives in varying widths, there’s no longer a need to use synthetics.

Shipping prints across the country and around the globe is not only a budget-buster, it also adds to your company’s carbon footprint.

Just send us your digital files or hard copies, and the address of your final destination. We’ll make sure your prints arrive on time practically anywhere in the US or across the globe!
