Member Profile: Graphics Plus
David Hell, owner and CEO of Graphics Plus, is a master printer who understands the dynamics of the natural evolution of things. A North Dakota native who fell in love with printing as a young man, for the past thirty-nine years David has been steeped in the annals of traditional print. Yet his country upbringing and passion for nature (David is an avid conservationist), has often made him stop and ponder the ways of old style printing.
To that end, David has steered Graphics Plus towards greener technologies and waste management through a thoughtful and often meditative process. “Being responsible in an industry that uses paper products as its primary resource makes it doubly important to make the right decisions,” explains David.
This understanding has given Graphics Plus a unique perspective on sustainable business practices. A one-stop, full service print shop, Graphics Plus is the perfect environment for small and large print runs and offers both traditional and digital formats, including large-format printing.
The “Plus” in our name refers to much more than printing on recycled papers with soy-based inks. It’s about all the little things we do that make us a sustainable company including:
- Enjoying our work with non-profits and local businesses
- Working closely with customers in the design stage to ensure printing success
- Resourcing only the most appropriate green papers and printing with
- Separating and recycling everything we can in our shop, including scrap paper and pad donations to local schools
- Providing a living wage to our employees and building prosperity in our community
- Acquiring one of the first chemistry-free computer to plate systems on the market (and our new digital printer has the highest rating for energy efficiency)
- Offering NBIS Members a 10% discount on their next eco-friendly print job.
