On the vendor side:

At No. 152 MindFire. MindFire markets a personalized URL suite called LookWho'sClicking. Inc's noteworthy point, "MindFire strives to instill an others-first mentality in its corporate culture, which has paid off with a 92% renewal rate among existing clients. MindFire also ranked No. 6 in the Top 100 Software Companies, and Ranked No. 11 in the Top 100 Businesses in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, CA.

No. 2,750 Joules Angstrom U V Printing Inks. Joules Angstrom supplies UV inks. Inc's noteworthy point, The company's inks are cured either by exposure to ultraviolet light or to an electronic beam. This process eliminates the release of volatile organic compounds, which contain carbon and can be harmful when inhaled. "It's considered a green product by the State of California because there's little or no VOCs," says President Patrick Carlisle."

No. 4,280 La Crosse Litho Supply. The company is a value added reseller of graphic supplies and systems.
