About us

Valley Litho Supply is your source for the graphic arts, offset printing, screen printing, photographic, inkjet and laser printing supplies. We serve customers on a direct basis via telephone, fax, mail and now on the web.

Valley Litho was established in 1965 by Walter Babineau in Spring Valley, MN. Walter started the business as a side line of the newspaper he ran there since 1951. The first item sold was Justowriter ribbons which were used to print type on paper for columns in the newspaper.

Since that time, with the help of many manufacturers and other dealers, the line of products has grown to more than 5,000 items. These now include supplies not just for newspapers but for printers, screen printers, sign makers, photographers, schools and anyone who wants good prices on quality items.

In 1980 Valley Litho was moved to our current 25,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. In 1992 the company was taken over by Walter's three sons, who presently operate the business. Walter is still active in the firm today.

We continue to add more items all the time to our inventory, so if you don't see what you are looking for here, please contact us or request a quote.

We look forward to serving you in the many years ahead with low prices, the friendliest, fastest and best service possible. Thank you for choosing Valley Litho Supply.
