About Us

History
Lynx Group was founded by owner, Richard Faith in 1979 as Salem Offset, which had its beginnings as a one-man operation providing print locally in Salem, Oregon. Within ten years, we had grown into PrintTek West and Artline of Beaverton was acquired. Soon after, the companies were merged into one location to form Lynx Communication Group, Inc. a commercial printer offering print solutions to clients nation-wide.
“Lynx is large enough to manufacture your project and small enough to care.”
After thirty years, Lynx Group’s goal today is the same as when we were first founded; to provide quality printing in a timely manner that is competitively priced.
Team
Lynx’s executive and production teams are comprised of industry professionals with the ability to provide you with sheet-fed and heat-set web printing, bindery, distribution, and mailing services; all at one location. Our campus of seven buildings spans 95,000 square feet and gives us the ability to manage your print project from start to finish.
Flexibility
The printing industry is in constant change, and Lynx Group, Inc. is up to the task. We recognized that direct-to-plate technology was the future of print, and made the transition in 1994 by installing the third CREO/Kodak Platesetter available nationwide. Looking forward, our vision includes the analyzing and embracing of technological advances that enhance our services to better fulfill your needs.
Stability
Lynx is here to stay. Our founder’s foresight and business philosophy has provided Lynx with the ability to forge steadily through tough times, giving us, as a company, the stability to better withstand the surges in the economy. We’re debt-free. Lynx is a print partner you can depend upon.
Commitment
Lynx provides quality service and emphazises on-time delivery with extraordinary customer service. This type of commitment has enabled us to form long-term partnerships with our clients.
“When you call Lynx, you’ll speak with a person, not a machine.”
Our employees are dedicated, loyal, knowledgeable, and energetic individuals who recognize that our future success as a printer depends upon our ability to provide superior service to our customers with every project that leaves our docks. We strive to exceed our customers’ expectations and welcome the opportunity to partner with your company.

At Lynx, to many of our customers we are more than a print vendor, we’re an extension of their print purchasing department. It is our business-partner approach that isn’t just about taking print orders, it is about evaluating your project. We’ll provide you with a stream-lined production schedule and alert you to opportunities of saving time and money. Good communication is critical in providing you with the product and turn-around that you require.
Print Sales and Service
Our customer service team works hand-in-hand with your sales representative and will assist you throughout the production of your project from receipt of files to shipping and invoicing. Lynx’s team approach to client relationships means that there is always someone available that is familiar with your account to speak with you. You are only an e-mail or quick phone call away from learning the status of your project.

Well-versed in the diverse list of capabilities that Lynx offers; our estimators will engineer your project so that it will run efficiently with the right combination of equipment to optimally run your job. You will benefit from their many years of print-industry experience as well as the large range of manufacturing options we offer.
“Efficiency is the ability to do a job well plus the desire to do it better.”
Our estimating team typically turn bids around within 24 hours of receipt. We understand that you may very well be ready to release your files, and we want to quickly give you a competitive bid to aid you in your decision making.
Customer Education
