Graphic design/printing
Designing for print is at the core of what we do, and our combined experience in producing beautiful and effective printed pieces is impressive. From logo design through creation of brochures, book covers, posters and all the usual and unusual print requirements, we are proud of the work we have done for our clients.

Yet this is just be beginning of what he have to offer…

Advertising and marketing
In co-managing your overall marketing strategy, building on your image, providing consistency, and suggesting ways to reach your customers you haven’t yet thought of, we can help take you to new levels.

Sign design / production
Maverick Design Signs is our newest addition to serve your graphic requirements. We can produce any type of sign from vinyl lettering through full photographic printing, from simple posters through vehicle wraps through corporate signage. Fast turnaround at a reasonable price is our specialty.

Web design
Web design goes hand-in-hand with traditional graphic design. We have the technology and know-how in-house to bring your presence to the Web. We maintain consistency with your print image. And working with images we already have on file eliminates any potential problem communicating with a separate web company, and saves duplication of effort. We now use Racine-Web Design for all our website needs and hosting.

We offer a full range of Web design services — from a clean, simple starter presence through more advanced data-driven requirements, including e-commerce (shopping carts and acceptance of credit card sales), domain name registration, and hosting.

Digital painting
Transforming photos into paintings is a specialty of ours not easily obtained elsewhere. Whether it is a photo restoration or colorization, combining images from different sources, converting a photo into the painted look, or creating whole new images on blank canvas — we can do it in style.

We bring the scanned photo into special software that has a vast array of electronic brushes and painterly effects. Then we bring our experience with traditional painting into play. Stroke by stroke, we enhance the photo with brushwork, color adjustments, adding or removing lights, shadows, or even images. The result: a digital image that looks painted.

Prints are then made on canvas, art papers or other material. Prints on canvas may then be further enhanced with clear gel brush strokes, giving the illusion of oil paint. Once the picture is painted, it can then be printed at any size in any quantity, or incorporated into other designs or advertising materials.

Posters/large format printer
Our large format Espon 9500 printer, combined with our ability to create any graphics you need, opens the door to many exciting possibilities. We can scan your artwork or photos, with or without editing or adding to them, and then print them on your choice of material.

It is no longer necessary to run editions of1000 or more copies of posters or artwork. The Epson 9500 is ideal for single copies, or very small runs. Pricing is by the square inch, so you have total control over size, quantity and price on a piece by piece basis.

Our inks are pigmented, permanent inks, fade-resistant for thirty years or longer.

Our art papers are archival quality, worthy of fine art prints.

Our general use poster papers are gloss and matte. We also have vinyl, ideal for indoor banners; sticky-back vinyl; backlit film for signage. Fine art materials include canvas, watercolor paper, rough and smooth textured art paper.

Prints may be mounted on foam core or PVC backing, with optional UV coated lamination for protection.

Whether the final prints are for framing, trade show booth, wall posters, banners or other uses, you (and your customers) will be impressed with the quality.

Source images may be existing digital images provided on disk. Or we can scan original artwork. Or we can create new images or alter existing images to your specifications.

Mailing Services
We can help with bulk mailings, choosing a mailing list or sending mailers to your existing customer list.

Specialty Items
We are not limited to traditional printing on paper, but can handle any request for unusual items such as banners, t-shirts, pens and novelties.
