The Luxury of Professional
Graphic Design and Printing
It’s no secret. Thacker Graphics offers
graphic design and printing with eye appeal—
functional products that capture the viewer’s
attention, inform, and are remembered. And that’s
whether your project requires a simple typographic
layout or a sophisticated combination of text,
drawings, and photographs.
The luxury of professional graphic design and
printing serves you with technical skill, fine
workmanship, and results that put BUY in the
customer’s eye.
When is luxury a bargain?— Every
time someone says “Let’s do business...”
Ready? Start Now!
Whether your project is business essentials
or a personal social announcement, it all starts
with the artwork. Clients may provide artwork
in any phase or provide just a concept and work
along with Thacker Graphics to develop that
idea into a workable plan. Expert consultation
on all projects works toward the goal of reducing
production time and costs. When the final design
is reviewed and approved by the client, the
project is scheduled for production.
What is the minimum
quantity for a print order?
When deciding how many items to order, for many
people, the leading question is, “What’s
your minimum quantity?” The minimum quantity
for any order is one.
Press On! The Manufacturing
Process
Thacker Graphics specializes in small format,
short-run spot color printing that utilizes
the Pantone Matching System (PMS) for ink color
mixing. This international standard color-match
system is the guide used for on-site blending
of over one thousand pure colors including metallic
finishes. Products are also available in CMYK
4-color process digital printing and conventional
offset lithography.
“...worth a
thousand words.”
Hype, scientific treatises, even straightforward
talk will rarely alone close an important deal.
If you want to convey that you’re a serious
contender, if you want to establish credibility,
if you want to “show” what you stand
for, then start now by investing in professional
graphic design and printing from Thacker Graphics.
Dependable results every time— guaranteed!

Company History and
Direction
Thacker Graphics was established in Tacoma,
Washington in 1990 by Michael S. Thacker. Mr.
Thacker was born and raised in Tacoma’s
north end and attended local public schools
and University of Puget Sound. He began
his apprenticeship into the centuries old craft
of printing in 1976 and has extensive experience
in design, letterpress printing and offset lithography.
The dynamism of science and technology directly
impacts the printing industry and makes, for
printers, constant study of new trends a daily
process. Making use of new technologies as
well as preserving the integrity and legacy
of traditional printing is the foundation for
Thacker Graphics to serve the needs of the community,
both with and beyond the printed word.
Note From The Founder
Given a choice, would you rather you buy an
apple from a vending machine or from another
person? “Depends on the vending machine,”
you might say. Likewise, when buying any product,
would you rather interact with technology, say,
the internet, or humanity? Do you prefer automated
telephone systems that ask questions “like”
a human? If so, then you’re not alone...yet.
Think about this. Many people, through the wonder
of technology, are daily choosing to buy products
anonymously, and, in effect are supporting other
people that they have never met and will never
meet.
Who’s leading who where, and for what?
Think about your power to choose. What kind
of community do you want to live in? What matters?...a
community of virtual vendors and anonymous consumers
or a community of real-world supporters and
caring citizens?
