Adviser
St. Mary's Catholic
Rockledge, FL
"The
first thing I did when I took on the enormous task of yearbook adviser
was switch to Taylor Publishing Company.
I
had my first experience with TPC in 1979, when I was in the 8th grade.
I was on the yearbook staff throughout middle and high school, and
knew that Taylor shared my own high standards for yearbook publication.
I
can’t say enough good things about my experience this past year!
There was always support if I had a question or a problem. The software
provided by Taylor is so easy for the students to learn and use. The
final result was a much better product than last year, a book that
will last forever."

Yearbooks
are our passion and our only business. We’re Taylor Publishing
Company, the nation’s first yearbook publisher. We started
as a family venture in 1939 and have revolutionized the way yearbooks
are created ever since. This, our commitment to the innovative use
of technology, team-based manufacturing, and extraordinary customer
care, sets us apart from other publishers. We provide a complete
yearbook experience designed to help you and your staff make the
most of your memories. Ours is a comprehensive program that brings
people, technology and experience together. Year after year, the
results speak for themselves. |
As
the recognized leader in the use of print technology, we’ve invested
millions in our pre-press, print and bindery operations, enabling us
to deliver noticeably superior products. Recent years have brought amazing
changes in print technology. From the front door to the back, we’ve
updated or replaced virtually all of our processes with state-of-the-art
equipment:
• 100% Digital pre-press and direct-to-plate imaging improves efficiency
• Digitally-controlled, eight-color Komori presses print on both
sides of the press sheet at the same time, improving speed and insuring
accurate color registration
• All-new bindery systems use digital monitoring to maintain speed
and consistency
All of these innovations produce a better product, faster than ever
before! We’re dedicated to maintaining the highest standards in
printing and design, yet we know technology can never interfere with
caring for our customers. It is our job to print a quality publication
for you, but it’s just as important for us to make your yearbook
experience a fun and educational one.
Should you ever be planning a trip to Dallas for business or personal
reasons, please contact me so I can set up a personal plant tour for
you. The Dallas facility, the largest digital printing facility with
all production capabilities in-house, was designed around plant tours.
Please include a walk on our yellow-brick road in your Texas itinerary.
"At
Taylor, we appreciate the hard work that Marcia and her customers
do to make outstanding yearbooks. It is very obvious that Marcia
works closely with her staffs so that they understand and appreciate
strong designs that showcase journalism skills.
Marcia
is one of those sales reps who, over the years, have had multiple
Crown and Pacemaker winners from both CSPA and NSPA. She is
the type of sale rep I would want working with my staff today;
I know her people appreciate her yearbook knowledge, her publishing
expertise and her willingness to give the extra effort it takes
to be the best."
