Primary Color was established in 1985 as a prepress company serving the Orange County, California market. It has evolved as an industry-leading, comprehensive provider of graphic arts services, including high-impact 40” 8/color lithography, large format output, digital and variable data printing.  In concert with its measured growth, the company has retained its focus on premedia: scanning, creative retouching, color management, trapping, file preparation, digital asset management, remote proofing and approval management. The company serves a broad spectrum of clients, including entertainment companies, worldwide advertising agencies and corporate imaging groups.

Primary Color's unrelenting commitment to high quality standards is based on a belief that effective color management resides at the core of the graphic arts process.  Every aspect of our workflow focuses on consistency, repeatability and excellence.  It defines our success.
