OUR HISTORY
In 1991 Michelle Fontaine together with her father Ken L. Fontaine incorporated Midagraphics, Inc. Her mother Maria Fontaine named the business after Michelle “MI and Dana “DA”, Michelle's late son, and they slowly replaced a 40 person commercial art department. The new Macs, scanners and thermal printers forged a new direction for them to run a successful high tech prepress services company for the flexible packaging industry.
In 2001 Midagraphics moved into the family owned, privately held converting business, Amgraph Packaging, Inc., where she became the Prepress Manager; she managed the offset, gravure and flexo prepress and tooling procurement, here she thrived and was the integral player that trialed and developed the transition into Gravure Copper Sleeves, a real game changer back in to 2001. After her father’s passing in 2007, Michelle became President of Midagraphics.
Midagraphic now specializes in MiColor, a CXF technology for Brand Marketing by seamlessly communicating the language of color. MiColor technology provides an accurate, efficient way to communicate color information across any supply chain. Campaigns for multiple custom color drawdowns on unique substrates allow Designers and Brand Managers to make decisions on Logo Colors that boost their products off the shelf.
In addition, our services include; Premedia to Digital, Flexo and Gravure industries. We specialize in inkjet comps, printed mockups, prototypes and extended gamut proofs. Midagraphics success has been through our key customers, the Brand Managers of Consumer Product Companies. Brand Managers are equally successful because they are using the new global language. MiColor technology allows all aspects of color to be communicated. MiColor is able to accurately extend the information through global workflows. Separate yourself from the pack, use Midagraphics for your unique color creation.
