Kristina Markula, Sr. Production Manager

“I’ve been working very closely with Calitho over the last 6+ years. These days it’s very difficult to find a locally run sophisticated printer that embodies the sense of community that the large conglomerates have lost. Not only is Calitho a warm and welcoming place to pull up to for your press check, but they offer all the printing/ lettershop/fulfillment services you could possibly need in one convenient location. I’ve spent countless hours planning and designing with my team at Calitho for complicated high dollar projects to asking them to make a simple print miracle happen with zero time to spare. There is no project too small or complex and every project is treated with care and respect, not to mention executed with exceptional communication. It’s a huge sigh of relief when I know that my next project with be partnered with Calitho.”

Cynthia Alexander, Packaging Project Manager

“I’ve worked for Electro [internal agency for Clorox] for almost 2 years and have had the opportunity to work with Carrin Robinson on some really critical projects. She has been responsive, thorough, and easy to entreat. I always feel like she will go out of her way to ensure my requests are getting the attention needed. Even when changes are needed midstream and timelines are inflexible, Carrin always tries to offer alternatives to meet our needs. Her support and dedication is exceptional. Thank you to Calitho for building a culture where service really matters.”

Kathleen Cunningham, Freelance Designer

“Calitho is a dream to work with. They are superb printers and great partners. I am a freelance art director/designer and they have never let me down. My Account Executive there is amazing, kind, funny and very responsive. She and I go to client meetings together to discuss the development of a project from end-to-end. Her focus is on great customer service and she has always delivered. I have used Calitho for large scale posters, vinyl banners, multi-page booklets, brochures and for the printing of a very delicate stationary system for a very particular client. Each project has been printed beautifully, on-time and within budget. Use Calitho for your next printing job.”

William Cornejo, Operations Officer

“Calitho has been a great extension of our DMI team. They have shared the same level of commitment and passion towards our client’s projects and therefore have often times pulled double shifts, run test jobs and have even made special deliveries to us to ensure we can achieve the end results for our collective clients.”

Paul Schweibinz, President

“We had a rush project. They said. “no problem.” So we took them up on it. Twenty five years ago we gave Calitho a trifold brochure to print, on a Friday afternoon, to be delivered Monday morning. It was die cut, with white type reversing out of silver ink. It was raining, cold, and of course, nothing would dry. Twenty five years later we’ve produced million dollar jobs that consumed rail cars full of paper. We filled two Fedex airplanes for a global product launch. We’ve stamped metal, bound in leather, we’ve sent live cypress trees around the globe, crafted spectacular wooden boxes, and along the way defied deadlines, budgets and seemingly, gravity. And we’re better friends than ever.”

Matt Cooke, Head of User Experience and Principal

“We had an urgent project for a major retail brand and immediately turned to Calitho. Not only did they deliver flawless printing according to an exacting schedule, they went the extra mile, turning a fraught situation into a pleasant, professional process.”

Maggie Sable, Partner & Design Principal

“I just received feedback from my client regarding the Brochure Holder and she LOVES it! Thank you so very much for being so patient, professional, compromising, precise, knowledgeable, accommodating….(I could go on and on). You were consistently professional. You made us look really great to our client and exemplified what it is to be a great vendor. I wanted to let you know that I appreciate you guys and the invaluable service you provide.”

Wendy Collier, Marketing Communications Manager

“I was a client of California Lithographers for four years. The team was absolutely critical to my success as a Marketing Communications Manager. They helped me build and distribute several launch and executive kits, and did so with loads of positivity. Each project had significant challenges but those were always met with a can-do, no-problem attitude. They never give up. My Sales Manager is steadfast, reliable and extremely creative in problem solving for his clients. He was my number one partner, and did everything in his power to ensure the success of the work before us – always exceeding my expectations. He also performed miracles when copy deadlines were missed due to internal indecision. I witnessed his fantastic work when helping my colleagues as well. They were extremely pleased too. There is no one better in this space, and I have extremely high standards.”

Joanne Heredia, Marketing Manager

“The Team at Calitho have been faced with the task of capturing our thoughts and ideas and implementing them to print. They gave us a feeling of intimacy and understanding when it came to our projects. From the beginning it was their goal to understand what Producers Dairy needed for each project and how we wanted the end result to be achieved. After a few back-and-forth discussions and some probing, the amazing team of creative artists went to work, only to come back with a brilliant set of designs. The work was sharp, clean and had a very professional feel. Needless to say, we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Thank you, to the very talented team at Calitho.”

Jess Shay, Print Producer/Art Buyer

“I recently had a stellar experience working with Calitho to create 4 prototypes, and eventually print 4 pieces that myself, my Art Director and Client were extremely happy with. I chose to work with Calitho because of their capabilities and because I knew I would be in good hands with my Account Manager. Throughout the project, she was as excited as I about what we were creating. As challenges came up, she kept us in budget, on time and was always 1 step ahead, highlighting solutions and options. I had the opportunity to tour the plant and meet everyone touching the project as well. A great team I’m looking forward to working with again soon!”

Julie Harris, Assistant Director of Marketing

“California Lithographers has become our “go to” printer for quality collateral and signage. We have relied on them to produce beautiful collateral with a quick turnaround and they have impressed us every time.”

Jill Qualls, Accounts Manager

“In our 10+ years of working with Calitho, we have enjoyed the extreme professionalism of working with a large corporate entity and the fabulous customer service of a Mom and Pop shop. From our Sales contact and our Production Savior, to the enjoyable Accounts Manager…each department of the company adds up to an invaluable resource for our business. The TEAM with the whole package that brings quality and communication to a new level.”

Blue Comacho, Trade Show Manager

“I wanted to share some feedback with you about recent product and sales caddie program, shipped in September. Every single person I asked said the kits were extremely neat and organized and were packed amazingly well so nothing was damaged or melted. The attention to detail with the sell sheets and the flat caddies was extraordinary. One of our reps, who had a particularly difficult experience prior to your involvement said these kits were truly the best ever received. The kitting was done creatively so that items didn’t move around in the box and the product integrity was perfect upon arrival. The ice packs really saved the day. Thank you so much!”
