Dear Mike,
I'm sorry I've been so tardy in acknowledging the contributions of Touch Plate to EBMUD's new book, Plants and Landscapes for Summer-Dry Climates. I'm still recovering from the intense and lengthy effort of putting the book together.

I just want to say, for the record, how much the skills, talents and especially the commitment of your team, contributed to the quality and success of this book. Touch Plate obviously has the technical ability and equipment to do the job, which was quite demanding for various reasons. What impressed me the most, however, was the care and attention that you and your team devoted, every day, to make every page, every photo, every spread, just right and to meet our highest expectations.

Touch Plate not only accepted and accommodated our exacting requirements, but added to them. On several occasions, your team brought errors to our attention and made it possible for us to correct them, despite the short turnaround time. From front desk to pre-press to on-press, the Touch Plate team anticipated our needs and offered their help— skillfully, graciously, and with good humor. Thank you for a top-quality product and exceptional service.

Sincerely,
Nora Harlow
East Bay Municipal Utility District



Dear Mike,
I just wanted to thank you again for all your hard work on our most recent project. Your dedication to finding the right printer and die-cutter for what turned out to be an enormously complicated piece was unparalleled, and your cheerful willingness to make it happen within my tight budget was much appreciated.

Over the last six years I've been working with you, on projects ranging from nationally distributed magazines to posters to brochures to specialty cards, I have been impressed every time with the level of service you have brought to each job. Your attention to detail, your enthusiasm, your commitment to finding the best quality materials and manufacturers, and your uncanny ability to get a job completed and delivered under rigid time frames... everything you bring to each project is astounding.

I want you to know I have no hesitation recommending you to businesses in need of various printing and manufacturing services, as I have 100% confidence in you and your ability to handle any request professionally and with expert-level service and commitment. I look forward to our next project together!

Best,

Great graphic design is merely half the equation. Complete success is achieved only through the realization of your efforts. I'm speaking of print production. This is where Mike Gianni of Touch Plate shines. Right at a time when you really need a partner to complete the job, Mike is there - with the highest of standards, technical savvy and cost consciousness. Since we've enlisted Touch Plate to produce our most important projects, we are able to sleep well. Because as far as we can tell, Mike never sleeps until the job is finished, and finished to perfection. I can't recommend Touch Plate enough.

Touch Plate,
I want to take a moment and acknowledge Touch Plate and their abilities. I was referred to Mike Gianni from another company in our building and we began to interview vendors to produce our Identity Package. Touch Plate presented themselves, by far, over and above the others and the most professional and knowledgeable levels. When making the final decision, we could not ignore his abilities. Touch Plate may not have been the least expensive, but I can tell you that the knowledge of print, design, paper, web site and direct mail campaigns led us to one simple conclusion... Touch Plate is the right fit for Tarrar Utilities Consultants.

Touch Plate has now printed our identity package, main line brochure, direct mailers, designed our web site and ads for publications. Not only does Touch Plate produce top quality work within a budget that is promised and with superior quality, but most importantly, within the exact timeline that was promised. I do not know ANY printers or agencies that can match them in this regard. When I hire Touch Plate to produce a project it truly becomes worry free for me. That is a Peace of mind.

This was truly one of the best investments that I have made for my company. Thank you Touch Plate for making this happen.

Mike Gianni and I have printed together for over 20 years. That's because of his practical business sense combined with his creative ideas and he has always delivered the highest level of quality, on time and on budget.

Mike is one of the "go-to guys" in the printing industry. He has quick cost-saving solutions and has a vast knowledge of printing: from estimating and pre-press through printing, bindery and delivery.

Mike has met and exceeded every challenge I've thrown at him over the years and to this day. My creative staffs and I have learned, and continue to learn, new ideas and processes from Mike.

He's truly a professional, yet personable and fun to work with.
