ABOUT US
four colour print group
Four Colour Print Group manufactures museum quality illustrated books in Asia and in America. We help publishers get the best possible price and delivery schedule through the strategic partnerships we've formed since 1985. We handle all proofing and prepress in the USA to save time and money, while providing the superior communication that keeps publishers coming back book after book, year after year.
Four Colour Print Group is the exclusive USA representative of Everbest Printing Co. in China, part of the Times Printing and Publishing Group with plants in Singapore and Malaysia. Both sheetfed and web printing are available, along with multiple casebinding lines under one roof. We also are the preferred print partner of Lifetouch Production, Inc. in the USA, with two complete book manufacturing facilities in Kansas City and Rockford, Illinois. We own FCI Digital in Dayton, Ohio where we handle drum scanning, digital proofing, and prepare bullet-proof PDF files for computer-to-plate printing at all locations.
Hardbound and softbound books, printed in full color or with high quality halftones, are our specialty. Short runs? We’ll print as few as 250 copies sheetfed offset. (And we have color digital printing capabilities as well.) Children's books, saddle stitch calendars, and wire-o binding are all under one roof. And with delivery schedules 2-4 weeks in USA, and 6-8 weeks overseas, we can meet deadlines that others cannot.
While we count Harper Collins and Simon & Schuster among our customers, we have also worked with dozens of smaller publishers, providing the service and attention needed to produce award winning books year after year. We have the experience and expertise to consistently deliver products on time and according to quote. We listen to what you need, and maintain the flexibility to respond quickly to whatever changes might occur. By carefully managing all details during the course of production, we ensure your books ship safely to your warehouse, on-schedule, and without the surprises you may have experienced elsewhere.Our customers include:
