We specialize in brochures, booklets, newsletters, letterhead, envelopes, presentation folders, business cards and other multi-color printing. Richmond Printing Service was formed in 1972 by Robert and Betty Salmons at 908 West Grace Street. Robert had previously been employed in printing since graduating high school. Having never worked in printing, Betty took classes on stripping and negative making at Richmond Technical Center (the first woman to take these classes). After five years and the addition of two employees we moved to 1615 West Broad Street and bought the building. Ten years later in 1987 with 4 employees we moved 2 blocks west to our current location of 1806 West Broad Street (6000 sq ft) with 12 employees. In 1994 we bought the adjoining building with 12000 sq feet of space. This gave us ample room to expand. In 1998 Richmond Printing Service, LLC became a 51% Woman owned business. Our son (Robert E. Salmons, Jr.) employed in 1980, is involved in the daily running of the business. He has been a major part of our success.
Doing Business for over 41 years! Total Printing Company was started in 1963 by owner Gary Williams in the eastern part of Henrico County. Originally conceived to be a supply company, he noticed that his clients had a demand for printing. With the addition of a small offset duplicating press, he began to print. In 1983 the 750 square foot building behind his house had become too small, and Gary moved Total Printing to the Byrd Center on Laburnum Avenue. In time, one office space became two, and then three. Over the next seven years, more presses were added ranging from one color to four colors. In addition, a varityper was installed for typesetting and the bindery was expanded to add more finishing possibilities. Ground breaking for the current location at 4401 Sarellen Road, still in eastern Henrico, took place in September of 1989, and the building was completed in 1990. Now with ample space to expand, Total Printing did just that. We currently can take a job from start to finish, all in house. We have a complete Electronic Prepress and Design Department, Pressroom that includes an eight up perfector, and a Bindery with endless finishing capabilities.
