Quacks is one of the oldest existing print houses in the Yorkshire area, originally established in 1703 it is situated handily in the heart of York a short distance from the famous Minster. The name Quacks derives from its original title of The Queen Anne Copy Shop (QACS) and the present owners love of water fowl of the family Anatidae.
Although established over 300 years ago, sadly the original staff members have long since moved on, leaving behind only the benefit of their expertise and experience. Among the present compliment of nine dedicated souls there is a collected experience of approximately 80 years in the printing trade. The premises are home to both early antique presses and typographical equipment dating back to the 18th century as well as up to date high quality digital and lithographic printing equipment.
