1998 TLMI Converters of the Year

Randy, who left his senior year at the University of Northern Colorado to join his father's business, progressed from running rewind and finishing equipment to a press operator's position, first running old locally made presses and a Mark Andy 4à press, and then larger 4- and 6-color machines. "In 1982 my father came to me and asked if I thought I could produce four-color process," Randy remembers. "I told him yes without really knowing what it was. After a crash course in color theory and months of trial and error, I was able to produce a product we could actually charge money for."
