Listen "On The Scene Ep 51 Hitchcock Priniting"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of On The Scene, Tom Hickey and Bob Carr welcome Justin Cote, Vice President at Hitchcock Printing in New Britain—celebrating 120+ years in print. Justin reveals how a legacy shop stays future-ready: an apprenticeship pipeline with New Britain High School and CCSU, cross-training that builds true craftspeople, and steady capital investments—from a 40" four-color press to high-speed digital with inline book finishing and pharma-grade folding.They unpack common design pitfalls (hello RGB vs. CMYK and the importance of bleeds) and share practical tips for creators using tools like Canva to get print-perfect results. Justin also dives into the resurgence of direct mail—why tactile pieces drive stronger response—and how Hitchcock’s pre-sort mailing operation can cut postage and push over a million pieces a day. Speed, transparency, and service tie it all together.If you care about quality, timelines, and ROI—from business cards to major publications and high-volume mail—this conversation shows why Hitchcock has endured and how they help brands win in print today. Presented by NBT Bank, proud supporter of local business.
