EQUIPMENT HIGHLIGHT
THE OX – A Northwest Printing Powerhouse
Born in Japan, raised in Italy, and now rooted in Spokane, The Ox (Komori 1040P GL) is our powerhouse press—built to handle the largest, toughest offset jobs with precision and speed.

Its advanced one-pass technology means:
- Faster Turn Times – Large jobs move from press to finish in record time.
- Higher Quality – Every sheet is crisp, color-accurate, and consistent.
- Economical Runs – High-volume projects become more cost-effective per piece.
