History
Royal Graphix was started as Royal Engraving in 1947 by Harold and Marian Wood as a photoengraving trade shop mainly doing letterpress plates for local printers as well as litho camera and manual color separation work. Royal Engraving was purchased in 1992 by Dick and Judy Eystad. The Eystad's expanded the business by first adding a large format direct-to-film color separation drum scanner. Next imagesetting services were added and expanded over time. The name was changed after a few years as Royal diversified its business. As technology has reduced the need for film imagesetting by commercial printers, Royal has returned to its roots and now the majority of its business is from magnesium photoengraving while continuing to provide film imagesetting for smaller offset printers and screen printers.
