Today, our team celebrates our Finance Manager Alli Brose as she begins a new career as a Registered Nurse! 💌🩺

Alli started at 1905 New Media in 2018 — when we were a small but mighty team, working from a home-turned-office in the Central West End. Two years ago, Alli decided to go for her bigger dream and start nursing school.

Over the past two years, our team has cheered Alli on every step of the way, listened to stories from her clinicals and anticipated her final day with us. Shortly after graduation, Alli accepted an RN position in Wash U Physicians Pediatric Urology Division!

We’re incredibly proud and we’ll miss you, Alli! Congrats! 🎉

For more than a century, Thomson Printing has delivered personal attention and commitment to each project. Our custom printing services are unmatched by other chain printing companies.

Our print shop team at Thomson Printing, Creative & Graphics, 1905 New Media’s sister company, inspects every detail of an order before sending it to the printer.

Here are the top three things our print experts want you to know before saving that file:

1️⃣ When preparing your file for printing, extend bleeds ⅛” past the page edges to avoid unwanted borders.
2️⃣ CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) is the main color model for print, and should be set in graphics and documents before being sent to print.
3️⃣ For color or grayscale images, aim for 300 dpi (dots per image), and for line art, around 1200 dpi will maintain the clarity and details of your prints.

1905 New Media provides the superior quality you expect with everything you need under one roof — in-house design and creative services, large format printing, and more.

Get inspired by our passion for print: https://1905newmedia.com/printing-company-st-louis/.
