Company History

InPrint Corporation, an independent operating division of American Reprographics, a $450 million global leader in communications, is celebrating over 28 years of customer commitment, innovation, flexibility, and uniqueness. Founded in 1976, InPrint began as a quick turn-around, manuals printer in the fast growing Silicon Valley serving technology leaders like Hewlett Packard, IBM, and Applied Materials. Services now not only include placing an image on a page, but also its value, creation, use, management, and electronic distribution.

For over twenty four years President, Karl Winkelman has helped InPrint expand its scope of services in order to meet the dynamic needs of our customers. The success and evolution of our relationships with our customers is evident through many examples of process improvement. We have evolved from a printer to a contract manufacturer that focuses on Ship/Accessory Kits. Our services are not dictated by us, but by the needs of our customers. Together we strive for cost reduction, business results, and ongoing process improvement.
