Fannon Printing Scores in PIA/GATF Competition with Two Premier Print Awards

“When he came home and told me he wanted to open his own printing operation, I thought he had lost his mind,” recalls Mary Ellis Fannon, who remains active in the business. “Neither Jim nor I knew anything about printing. But we borrowed $10,000 on a handshake and started the business.”

In 1982, the firm moved to its present location and in 1986, bought a used Miehle 1982-model, 40-inch 6-color press.
