Larry Meyer | Argus Observer Cali Burzota, owner of Calibur Graphics, shows the machine on which she makes vinyl banners. What was once known as B & B printing is now Caliber Graphics situated at 723 S. Oregon Street.

ONTARIO —B & B printing has a new name and a line of new services, but owner Cali Burzota said her business staff remain committed to quality and service for customers while at the same time working to keep expenses to a minimum.

An expansion project prompted Burzota to adopt a new name — Calibur Graphics — for the business and the local firm now offers more than just printing services.

“We still offer custom graphic design work and high-quality printing,” Burzota said. “Today, in addition to designing logos and stationary, we help organizations print full-color banners, create screen-printed shirts.”

A lot has changed, Burzota said, since she took over the local printing outlet more than ten years ago.

“I bought the shop in 1996. Back then we did the off-set printing. The business now does blueprints, multi-part forms, envelopes and promotions. We have a machine that does vinyl banners — multi-color and one color,” she said.

The shop’s versatility has proved to be key, Burzota said.

“When you hear the phrase promotional items, you may think you have to order 1,000 pens or 500 hundred mugs, but we can print as few or as many of anything you want. Just one and up. When it comes to a family reunion, (anniversaries, graduations) we can take care of everything.”

Individualized graduation cards are very popular, Burzota said. The shop also prints different sizes of calendars.

While B & B Printing has changed its name to Calibur Graphics, the location — at 723 S. Oregon. St. — is the same.

“We want to be a printing business that meets people needs,” Burzota said. “We stand behind everything we make.”

Calibur Graphics is also using its resources to benefit the community by supporting a scholarship fund set up in memory of Josh Brennan, an Ontario High School graduate, who was killed in action while serving as a U.S. Army paratrooper in Afghanistan last year.

Brennan had worked at B & B and they had sent over treats for members of his unit.

The business is selling specially printed shirts with proceeds to be donated to the Joshua Brennan Memorial Scholarship Fund, currently set up at Bank of America.

The scholarship goes to student at Ontario High School. 

There is a display in the front office with some of the shirts readily available.

“We don’t have all the shirts here but they can be ordered,” Burzota said.
