Our Story

When one door closes, another opens.

The fall of 2012 was a time of dramatic change in the photo world where more images were being captured on smartphones in one year than on cameras in the ten years prior.  On the retail scene, a  nationwide photo chain was putting the wrap on over 100 years in business while a small team of inspired dreamers picked up the banner and took off with it.  That team became the core of The Print Refinery and we still fly that flag proudly today.  What made us think we could succeed where others in the industry were failing? It’s simple: we understood then, as we do today, that preservation of your memories is important and that you want options on how to display them, how to store them and how to share them.  You want to pass your story on to future generations and we are the local experts that can help you do it.  We’re also more than just photo specialists – we print anything on everything.  It’s through our experience that we can also support your business’s printing and graphics needs.

What makes The Print Refinery special is that we are part of a vibrant, local community that we love to support and connect with.  Every project that walks through our door is an opportunity to collaborate on a personal level.  We are creative storytellers and educators, design experts and artistic consultants, and we have a knack for bringing your ideas to life.
