Ink started running through Mike Peters blood at an early age. In high school, he earned 85 cents an hour sweeping floors at a local print shop after school. As a reward for his hard work and enthusiasm, Mike received added responsibilities that taught him the intricacies of the printing process. This early exposure planted the seed that eventually grew into The Printing Press, a full-service commercial printing company in Boise, Idaho. Owned and operated by Mike and his wife, Lynette Peters, the company produces everything from business cards and envelopes to booklets and posters.
Many people don t realize how involved the printing process is.
To educate customers, we gladly offer tours of our shop. The company s long list of satisfied customers include Idaho Power, the Boise School District, Ameritel Inn, Albertson Foundation and Micron Technology. The industry s fast-paced environment, together with heavy and sharp equipment, serves as a breeding ground for injuries. The company relies upon veteran employees to recognize hazards and train new employees, who cause the majority of accidents. We occasionally have to woo skilled employees away from other print shops.
