Edwards Printing Company has been in operation since 1979. Our business grew through our partnership with Heidelberg. We have been firm believers in their industry-leading presses and products from the beginning, and maintain an all-Heidelberg pressroom.

Our equipment is staffed and maintained by highly qualified technicians. Each member of our staff has at least 15 years of experience in the industry, many for decades. There have been monumental changes in the printing process over the last 45 years. From hot type to photo type, direct to film, direct to plate, and direct to press, we have lived the transitions and changes in the industry. We use that experience to produce the quality products that our customers have come to expect.

Here's what some of our staff have to say about our equipment and set up:

"I started in the industry as floor help, at the shop where my uncle worked. I liked learning a trade, and working my way through that shop was great job training.
I’m mechanically inclined and a hands-on learner. I like problem solving, figuring out how things work, and how to make them better. I enjoy working with offset printing because I like to think of it as an art form.
I’ve worked on all kinds of presses, but Heidelberg is the best. You could call me the Sultan of the Speedmaster. It’s the smoothest running, and produces the highest quality product- it’s just a superior machine.
We offer a more consistent job from start to finish, with much less waste." - Chris O'Brien, Press Operator

"I’ve worked with a lot of different presses, from Manroland to Komori, but I like Heidelberg most. It’s simply a high-quality machine. There’s less maintenance, it’s a high quality design, and you get the best result with cooperation between prepress and the pressroom.
In our industry, being able to minimize makeready time is huge. Proper collaboration between prepress and the pressroom results in less waste, highest efficiency, and a quicker project turnaround.
I love understanding every aspect of these machines. I know my press front to back, and there’s always room to learn more. The focus on collaboration, teamwork, and dedication to consistency is really important. We don’t mess with quality." -Dan Field, Press Operator
