In the spring of 1977, Gary Hansen and Richard Janetta opened Pro Print with the idea of being the "Best Value" printer in Duluth. They started small in West Duluth, but quickly grew their business. Within 8 years they had out-grown their original location and moved to the current 10,000 square foot facility at 326 East Central Entrance, in Duluth, Minnesota.
Pro Print continued to grow through the 80's and 90's to become the Printer that Customers could turn to for a great print job at a value based price. Janetta retired in 1998 and Hansen in 2003. In the summer of 2003, Pro Print was purchased by Duluth businessmen Scott Cooke and Creston Dorothy. Their vision for the business has already inspired double-digit growth and a renewed commitment to quality and customer service.
Pro Print is a full service printer, handling all aspects of a job, from design and prepress to binding and mailing. Currently, we employ 37 people and run 5 sheet-fed presses. We recently purchased a 5-Color Shinohara 74V with in-line aqueous coating and CIP3. This press delivers high quality and efficiency to get you the best print job possible! Also new to Pro Print is a Shinohara 74VP Perfector, which allows us to print two colors on both sides in a single pass, creating both financial and time savings which we pass on to you. This new perfecting press also allows us to print 4 color work on one side.
The future is bright for Pro Print and all the professionals that work here invite you to experience our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction!
