If we jump ahead of Gutenberg
(the inventor of the first printing
press) 400 years, we'll arrive just
in time for a momentous event.
Drumrole...the establishment of
House of Typography in 1964, later
to become HOT Graphics & Printing, Inc.
Well, it was momentous for us.
It was 1964 when the House of Typography opened its doors. The founders recognized the need for high quality
typesetting services to businesses large and small. We started out with two Monotype machines capable of setting
four lines of type a minute. In the pursuit of swiftness, additional efficiency and to accommodate the increasing
volume of business, a Linotype machine was added. In 1972, House of Typography was providing our customers with type
set by the photographic process. Phototype not only produced type of exceedingly high quality, but also enabled us to
provide an exceptional variety of modern typefaces. The decade of the 80s had hardly begun before the desktop
computers began to make an impact on the typesetting industry and House of Typography knew we couldn't stand still.
So House of Typography began to not only typeset jobs for customers but also began to print them as well. Shortly after,
our name changed to HOT Graphics & Printing, Inc. to better represent the complete service we now provide for our customers.
We would like to thank you for the opportunity to serve you.
