Donald Duncanson -- A Self-made Man

"I was left with the overhead, the equipment, the lease—and no sales. Through the school of hard knocks, I learned how to pound on doors. It was a lonely year. It took me a lot of time and hard work to get the business going," he remembers.

Despite a rocky start, Duncanson decided to try partnering again in 1972—this time with Manny Perez, Dynacolor Graphics' plant manager, and Duncanson's two brothers, Harry and Bob. Harry would become the vice president of finance. While Bob would join the company as vice president of sales and marketing. The four men started Dynacolor with a single color, 29˝ sheetfed press and a small-format, 10x15˝ press.
