The Printing Division, USDA's central printing and publications management organizations mission is to provide all printing related services to our customers in a professional, economical, and timely manner, in support of USDA's mission; and in accordance with Federal laws and regulations (Title 44 U.S.C., the Government Printing & Binding Regulations, and all Department regulations).
USDA customers rely on our expertise to recommend the most appropriate printing options. We give careful consideration to schedules, specifications, budgets, and other preferences to meet specific customer needs.
To ensure the highest printing quality, we assist in reviewing color proofs and perform press sheet inspections at commercial printers. We also coordinate with the Creative Media, Editorial, and Photography Divisions to ensure that all Departmental policies and Federal regulations are met.
