A Healthy Outlook
In addition to her shop's expansive repertoire of printed products, Burke credits her in-plant's growth to the decreasing cost of color printing. When she first started, she says, the shop barely printed any color. Since that time color printing at Sunnybrook has grown 174 percent.
Even in the last few years, the shop's color printing numbers have jumped significantly. Burke says in 2011 the total impressions numbered 7,253,746. In 2013, that number leapt 20 percent to 9,064,932.
