Scott Lithographing Founders
Charles Scott and his brother Bill founded a printing company in Atlanta, Georgia called, “Scott Lithographing” in 1966, with the sole purpose of printing for other printers. Charles passed away suddenly in 1972 and two of his sons, Phil and Howard Scott joined their uncle in business.

The business expanded and moved to Avondale, Georgia in 1979 with six employees and three presses. By 1986, Scott Lithographing had grown to ten employees and added new four-color and six-color presses at a new facility in Tucker, Georgia.

Scott Lithographing Today
Today Scott Lithographing still carries the craftsmanship of the elder Scotts, while blending new technologies such as Komori six-color presses and computer-to-plate abilities. We apply the latest hardware and software to color management, scanning, and digital color-proofing. Our most recent addition has been online ordering through our website. We’re very exciting about offering our services nationally as we continue to expand.

For 39 years, Scott Lithographing has maintained it’s tradition of being a printer’s printer. With no sales force on hand, we rely solely on the business of other printers, brokers and designers. Our committed staff allows us to offer our customers assured quality, personal service and confidentiality.

At Scott Lithographing we don’t print on stones, but we do apply the same craftmanship, and pride in our work as the artisans of old...that’s why you’ll find it in our name and in everything we print.

What is Lithography?

Lithography actually means, “To paint with stone." People used stone lithography to create color art for books, labels, flyers and posters.
The basic idea used in stone lithography is simple:
1. The artist draws on the stone with a greasy substance. The stone picks up this greasy substance and holds it.
2. The stone is moistened with water. The parts of the stone not protected by the greasy paint soak up the water.
3. Oil-based ink is rolled onto the stone. The greasy parts of the stone pick up the ink, while the wet parts do not.
4. Paper is pressed onto the stone, and the ink transfers from the stone to the paper.
