Brown has great customer service. I brought a job to them that they don't do there and they went out of their way to try and help me find a different vendor. I've never had a printer be that helpful before.

I've used Brown Printing for years, from stationery packages to larger projects. They're a smallish print shop with a friendly, helpful staff and do high quality work. As a graphic designer, I would recommend them to anyone. And as for digital printing, they have one of the better presses that mimics offset printing at a fraction of the cost.
