2012 Hall of Fame: Mike Graff - Answering Print's 911 Call

"If you go into a burning building, you need to have a second way out, a secondary attack plan," he adds. "It's the same thing when you face a crisis in business. You have a main attack; but, if that doesn't work, you pivot to your secondary plan of action."

A Multi-Talented Leader

Graff has touched nearly all facets of the printing business: Developing into a highly successful salesman; a student and now teacher for the science of color who helped deliver the industry's GRACoL 7 color management standard; and an executive quarterback who called several audibles during the past five years that have enabled Sandy Alexander to reinvent itself during a period of great industry change and economic instability. With this comes a deserved spot in the 2012 Printing Industry Hall of Fame class.
