Here’s what people are saying about A.F.L. Web Printing...

The transition from printing our 13 Greater Media Inc. newspapers in-house to printing at A.F.L. Web Printing went much smoother than anticipated. I credit this both to the support we received from A.F.L. Web Printing through the planning process as well as to the dedication of the staff at their new Secaucus facility. Our reproduction quality has improved and the increased color capability A.F.L. Web Printing has provided has already translated into more revenue. The staff at A.F.L. Web Printing continues to be very responsive and committed to providing Greater Media Inc. with the necessary tools to help us grow our business. - Ben Cannizzaro, General Manager and Publisher - Greater Media, Inc.

A.F.L. Web Printing ensured a seamless transition for the Long Island Press to the Secaucus, New Jersey print facility. It wasn’t just about the paper we were printed on. The support—both technical and customer service—enabled us to improve significantly the quality of our product and our workflow. In today’s challenging environment A.F.L. Web Printing is a true partner to our business in presenting the Long Island Press with options to satisfy not only our own specifications but those of our clients. The improvement A.F.L. Web Printing has given our publication has greatly exceeded our expectations. - Jed Morey, Publisher & Michael Castonguay, CFO - Long Island Press

As a global publication, The Financial Times works with printers throughout the world and our customers demand world-class products and services. Our choice of selecting A.F.L. Web Printing as our northeast printer was a direct result of their commitment towards state of the art equipment, outstanding quality, faster throughput and greater color availability. The move to A.F.L. has provided the FT with these benefits—and much more. A.F.L. worked closely with us to ensure our needs were addressed and achieved. We were assisted by a large team of computer, printing, finishing and distribution professionals. We look forward to a long and productive relationship and highly recommend A.F.L. Web Printing as a solution for your printing needs. - Doug Morrow, Global Production & Distribution Director - The Financial Times
