design

Pragma Graphix specializes in print media. In the 1980's graphic design was done without a computer. We used layout tables, cameras and rubylith/amberlith to create artwork for printing. Over the years, the computer has become an important tool for designing and has changed the way we think and design products. Pragma Graphix will be a great choice for your projects because we have seen it all, from the old to the new. We make great effort to keep up with the newest trending technologies. We have a variety of styles, are able to see the bigger picture, and are able to help you design the perfect project for you and your company.

photography/video

Pragma Graphix's designer Lorie Richards has always had
an interest in photography and practices as an amateur photographer. She can offer simple photo shoots to get what we need to improve upon your design projects, saving clients money and time. She also makes videos and photographs for the equestrian community. We are able to offer personal or commercial videos with or without motion graphics to
enhance those videos. Let us help you with your next video project! If you have a horse you would like to sell, let us
help you with a sales video giving you a great
representation of the sale prospect.

web/animation

Within the last few years we have furthered our education to include web design, animation and motion graphics. This has added to our photography, videography and print design skills, enabling us to offer a wider range of products to all our clients. We have in-house programming capabilites allowing
us to offer more complex web development.

commercial digital printing

Pragma Graphix has added a commercial digital printer and will now be offering print production up to 12x18 full bleeds. Our new Xerox 700 Digital Color Press is the ideal solution for the digital production printing market, with applications such
as full color catalogs, brochures, photo books, and manuals.
The Xerox 700 produces sharp color graphics and crisp text at up to 2400x2400 dpi resolution. Finishing options for inline
printing include C & Z folding, 2 & 3 hole punching, and a saddlestitch booklet maker with a square-fold/trimmer. We also have a commercial paper cutter and can cut to any special size you require. Please contact us with your specific needs.
