  • 1.  Essential Printing?

    Posted 03-23-2020 11:37 AM
    Are we considered essential printing?

    My operation guy is reading into it for Michigan we only print stuff for essential businesses to stay open like restaurants and healthcare. We work from home and only call people in to print these.

    Like I have a orders in for some companies i am not sure if they are essential buisness.

    Your feedback is appreciated

While we are all faced with the difficulty of responding to the global COVID-19 situation, we are committed to continuing to serve our customers with the same level of attention and care as always.
