About Marlin
Prior to starting Marlin Printing & Graphics, Mark spent ten years in the business forms industry working for some of the nation's biggest manufacturers. While he specialized in selling large quantity orders, he saw that the needs of the smaller businesses were not being met. They usually paid a premium price for ordering small quantities or were limited to using stock forms. He believed that a manufacturer specializing in short-run custom forms would fill a niche and this vision led to Marlin Printing & Graphics.
During the time that Mark worked in the business forms industry, Lynne worked as a graphic artist in the field of commercial printing. Her concentration on pre-press and design was the perfect compliment to Mark's technical forms background and gave the Marlin Printing & Graphics idea the balance it needed for success. The mix was right and we're proud to let you know that we've been serving our customers for over a decade.

Our Name
“Marlin Printing?”
“You mean a marlin... like a fish?”
We hear this question a lot but the truth is, we didn't name our business after a fish. The name is a combination of our founder's names — Mark (Mar) and Lynne (lin). We thought that combining our names was the perfect way to represent the idea that we were also combining our talents.
