Sixty years of print,

—— TRADE PRINTING
When your printer needs a printer.
Other commercial print shops send us their overflow — jobs too big, too complex, or too tight on deadline for their own floor. If the professionals trust us with their clients' work, you're in good hands.

SINCE 1963
Three generations.
Every dollar back into the floor.
Every time we had a choice between taking profit out or putting it back into equipment, we bought the press. That's how one shop became three presses, two shifts, and a technology stack we built ourselves.
1101 Arthur Ave · Elk Grove Village
On the floor todayThe PressThe Floor
1963
The Press
One single-color offset press and a composing table.
The Floor
James A. DeBlasio Sr. opens JD Graphic on Chicago's historic Printer's Row. One family, one handshake, a decision to do it right.
1970s
The Press
Multi-color offset at speed. Photo typesetting replaces hot metal.
The Floor
The web-offset presses move out to Elk Grove Village. The modern press room takes shape — color becomes routine, not a luxury.
1980s
The Press
Every dollar back into the floor — more presses, more capacity.
The Floor
One shop becomes a production house. Building for the next generation.
2000s
The Press
Two roll-fed digital inkjet presses join the floor.
The Floor
Variable data and personalization at scale. The future arrives early.
Today
The Press
Three presses, full finishing, two shifts, technology we built ourselves.

Same address. Same family. A different century of print.
