About Dave 

Dave Ramsey first opened his print shop in 1973. Today we are still a local, family owned print shop doing business in Dallas and for the Dallas area business community. Dave’s first print shop location was near 183 and Mockingbird Lane. And that first year in business Dave the Printer was a franchise operation of Ready Print, which is no longer in business as a franchise.

A funny story, in order to open Dave’s print shop he drove to Oklahoma City to buy his first printing press in a pick up truck. That press was a AB Dick (seen below) and while driving that printing press back in the open bed of that pickup truck it rained the entire 4 hour commute back to Dallas! After spending all his savings to buy the press, Dave thought he might be out of business before he printed his first item! Once back safely to town, that press fired up and ran. Today we still have it on our print shop floor.

With Dave’s ability to produce amazing printed products at a great price and quick turn times Dave quickly adopted the slogan “Quick! Name a Good Printer!” That slogan was our print shop calling card for nearly 20 years when Dave (always the creative one) wanted to have a photo of him bending over backwards for the side of our delivery truck with the words “Can your printer do this?” Our printing service customers loved it and coined the phrase “Bend Over Backwards Service” to which we still use today.

Dave Ramsey officially retired from Dave the Printer in 2014 and his oldest son, Matt Ramsey, is now the President/Owner. Dave continues to come to the office regularly and is active on major company decisions. Swing by and you just might be able to say you met and know the real Dave Ramsey!
