Downeast Graphics & Printing

Downeast Graphics & Printing has been helping businesses, organizations, and individuals bring their ideas to life since 1974. Founded by Charles Ferden, the Hancock-based company built its reputation on quality printing, graphic design, and relationships that have endured for more than five decades.

Today, that legacy continues under new local owners Domenic Efter and Arlyn Whitelaw. Having supported the greater Ellsworth community for more than 20 years, they bring a strong commitment to helping local businesses, municipalities, nonprofits, and individuals achieve their goals.

From business cards, brochures, and postcards to banners, custom signs, photographic prints, and fine art reproductions, Downeast Graphics & Printing offers an extensive range of creative and production services. Its graphic design team can help customers develop everything from a new logo to a complete collection of coordinated marketing materials.

One of the company's strengths is its flexible approach to printing. Shorter print runs allow small businesses, startups, and organizations to create targeted materials, update their messaging, and try new ideas without committing to large quantities. For bigger projects, partnerships with printing companies throughout Maine and New England expand the possibilities while helping keep costs manageable.

The company's capabilities extend beyond design and printing to include mailing services, bindery and finishing, secure document shredding, and notary services. Whether you're preparing for an event, promoting a business, producing a publication, or handling everyday office needs, Downeast Graphics & Printing offers a variety of services under one roof.
