Demco Printing has always looked toward the future. In 1964 we began as an inplant printing operation for Dethmers Manufacturing Company, producing high quality agricultural products. Twenty-two years later we opened as a commercial printing company. Since 1987, our printing volume has increased ten times what it was when we first opened those doors.

With the precision equipment and the resources necessary to fulfill the highest requirements, Demco Printing can surpass the utmost expectations of quality and service in the printing industry.
Our customer service branch is always ready and accessible to fit your needs. We staff multiple employees to create estimates. These estimates are easily available to our customers as soon as possible through phone, fax or e-mail.
At Demco Printing we find our customers appreciate the close contact we know is important between the customer, their designer and our print shop. Our experience of working directly with the project designer provides Demco the means of completing customer projects both timely and expertly, and completely fulfilling their expectations. On time and on budget are a way of life for Demco Printing.
We are continually acquiring the education, information and equipment necessary to keep abreast of the latest technological advancements. Demco Printing's Pre-press department incorporates Agfa's Apogee PDF workflow, using an Agfa Tapian RIP that is Adobe PostScript 3 compliant and offers in-RIP trapping. At the heart of the system is Apogee PrintDrive which receives data from the RIP and drives the Galileo Thermal Platesetter for direct to plate output. The Apogee system runs under Windows NT. This department implements both the Macintosh and the Windows platforms and has access to most industry standard programs and media.
