Every year since 2006, we’ve printed a calendar that we distribute at no charge to everyone that we come in contact with. Hopefully you’ve received one or more in the years past. We usually have some sort of cool theme for the calendar. We have always used pictures that the Brandywine family has taken ourselves. [...]
If you’ve been doing business with Brandywine for over 7 years, you might remember working with Millie Reed. Millie was with us for several years until she had an opportunity to work with her husband at a different printshop. That different printshop was Brigham Press. Recently, Brandywine Printing and Brigham Press joined forces, and Millie [...]
Unless you buy printing for a living, you might not know the difference between Digital Printing and Offset Printing, much less which one is best for your current project. I will try to clarify some of the different indicators that we use to determine which process is best for you. At Brandywine, we offer both [...]

One of the things that I love about our industry (that’s the printing industry… incase you found this blog accidentally) is that most businesses need printing to some extent. Some businesses realize that, and some don’t… we’ll talk about the folks that do. I am cheap. When it comes to my money, I don’t like [...]
Lets talk about bleeds. Not bleeding… like bloody messy bleeding. I’m talking about your design bleeding… you know, off the edge of the paper. See, most people don’t understand that ink can’t magically run off of the edge of a sheet of paper. Think about it like this, if the ink goes all the way [...]
Someone called the shop the other day looking for a “Printing Expert”. I never really thought about being an expert before. “Printer” was just a title that I shared with Benjamin Franklin and a few thousand other folks in my chosen profession.
