Ideal Printers

Like many success stories, ours starts from a rather humble beginning. Howard Siewert, founder and original owner of Ideal Printers, was a successful salesperson at a large, Minnesota printing company. Howard loved what he did, and the relationships he had built with many of his clients.

However, he was continually frustrated by his employer's failure to keep the promises they had made to both Howard and to his clients, as a majority of press time was dedicated to the company's major accounts.Tired of these broken promises, Howard was determined to give his customers a more ideal experience.

Ideal Printers exists to serve three constituencies: our customers, our employees, and our owners. And always in that exact order. From day one, we've believed that's what would allow us to stand out in a saturated print market. We always knew we could produce quality print-but our willingness to go above and beyond for our customers would be the key to our success.

Forty years of perfecting offset printing has taught us many lessons, but most importantly it's taught us that your print project is more than just a process. When you trust us with a job, we recognize you're placing your visual reputation in our hands-and we don't take that responsibility lightly.

Over the past few decades digital print has revolutionized the print industry. Every year, new advances in digital print technology has continually closed quality gap that once existed between digital and offset print. Today, the quality of digital print can typically rival that of traditional offset print, and the variety of substrates that can be printed on often exceeds offset.
