Times-Printing to relocate to former Eureka Printing location and launch of a new and improved website

Humboldt County's oldest printing company is expanding and will be relocating to a bigger building. Times Printing is a fourth-generation family owned and operated business serving the region since 1854. By April, Times Printing will move their offices and presses from their location in Old Town to 106 T St., the former home of Eureka Printing.

This is more than just a physical move for the company. In November 2012, Eureka Printing owner Jerry Carter was set to retire and there was no succession plan. Through informal talks in the printing community, Times Printing owners Lane and Susan Strope, and their son Seth Strope, purchased Eureka Printing. In October 2011, for similar reasons, Times Printing acquired Artcraft Printers.

”Both Eureka Printing and Artcraft Printers were cornerstones in the local printing community, and we could not allow the loss of either company's history or the legacy that they had created, “ said Seth Strope.

With the move, Times Printing is pleased to announce they will be adding at least two new jobs and possibly more new employees in the next year. Longtime Eureka Printing employee Richard Hardin was retained by Times Printing in the acquisition.

Times Printing has also launched a new website. The website allows clients to log in and see their order history, place orders online, manage their uploaded files and access a written history of the company. Other offerings include a detailed list of products and services and the ability to request free estimates and consultations about printing projects.

Recently, Times Printing began doing 3D Printing, creating prototypes and custom pieces for local manufacturers. Times Printing Marketing Director Lynn Dugaw said that the company's next endeavor is a plan to return to its roots and get back into letterpress printing. Letterpress printing, last popular in the 19th century, is crisper than other types of printing, and is excellent for creating fine typography.

Clients can contact the company with any questions about the company's growth, the move to the new location, the new website or about products and services by calling 707-442-5741. The website is www.timesprinting.com.
