About Us

In Color was conceived by A. Arthur Fisher, back in 1986, while he was attending UC Santa Barbara for a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering.

In Color began in the pre-Internet days as a graphic design service bureau in downtown, Santa Barbara. In just a few years, In Color, grew to a staff of a dozen professionals, including graphic designers and highly-skilled technicians to run our comprehensive array of digital graphics equipment. In those days, you needed a specialist to make a color print.

We serviced businesses in graphic design, publishing, communications, photography, interior design, aerospace, Biomed, and government.

Companies including Quicksilver, Roxy, Big Dogs Sportswear, UCSB, Delco, Raytheon, Balance Foods, ACMI Circon, Santa Barbara Independent, Santa Barbara Bowl, and Vandenberg Airforce Base utilized our services on a regular basis.

During the 1990s, In Color had acquired more than two thousand clients. In 2000, the company refocused into a smaller firm, dedicated to a few of the original customers.

Today, In Color still specializes in digital media, but we have added photography, programming and network/server security to our range of core competencies.

WEB PUBLISHING & WEB APPLICATIONS

Since the late 1990s, In Color has been at the forefront of Web Publishing. Mr. Fisher holds a GIAC Certification, with honors, in Network Security and Network Systems (GSEC) from the world-renowned SANS Institute.

DIGITAL IMAGING & DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

We began our foray into Digital Imaging in the late 1980's after acquiring a pre-release copy of Adobe Photoshop 1.0. Even then, In Color was equipped with color computers and printers. Today, we shoot as members of Canon Professional Services.

GRAPHIC DESIGN FOR PRINT

A new era of publishing emerged in the 1990s, and In Color was there to lead the way. Our design department has satisfied the needs of hundreds of happy customers. Because we have our own, in-house print-service bureau, we can raise the bar like few others.

DIGITAL PRINTING

For nearly 30 years In Color has been a leader in the digital printing industry. With the installation of our first Iris printer in 1989, we became the first company in California's Central Coast to offer photographic-quality inkjet prints.
