Q: Why should I purchase parts from Printer’s Parts of Los Angeles, instead of directly from the manufacturer?
A: Printer’s Parts of Los Angeles is not only a representative of many manufacturers, but we must perform to their satisfaction. We are an independent company that works within the printing trade, and devote our entire efforts as a replacement parts and supply distributor. We are competitive in price, and offer customer service that would not be available through a large manufacturer.

Q: I read advertisements from companies offering to beat any price.
A: Offering to be lower than any price quoted would take in a lot of territory. Our prices are always in line with our competition, and on many items much lower. In addition, we offer many specials, sale items and bulk purchases for maximum discounts.
