The Harman Press acquires A&I

Based in Los Angeles, with a 30-year legacy of providing museum and gallery printing and a wide variety of high-end imaging services to the world’s top photographers, A&I is also a leading supplier of print-on-demand photo books through its BookCreator, a free online design software for customized photo books.

Harman Press President Phillip Goldner said, "A&I brings a talented staff and new resources to the Harman Press portfolio and we look forward to expanding our range of digital media production while continuing to deliver the quality products and services that A&I’s loyal clients have always enjoyed."

Baret Lepejian, co-owner of A&I, commented "The Harman Press has a long history as one of L.A.’s most respected printers which makes it a perfect fit for A&I, with its own special legacy in the photographic and digital imaging world. Knowing Phil Goldner’s dynamic vision, I can say that A&I’s future looks bright under the Harman Press banner."

The move brings a battery of wide-format printing equipment to The Harman Press along with expert scanning and retouching services, as well as A&I’s well-known master printers overseeing the fine-art printing division. A&I also adds another Hewlett-Packard Indigo press to the Harman Press, together with a bindery that delivers hard and soft-cover digitally-printed books. A&I’s Isgo Lepejian-branded portal will continue to be a major source of high-quality printed headshots for the entertainment business through its online kiosk.
