Printer Wiped Out By Hurricane Sandy Back in Business

STATEN ISLAND, NY—The presses at 3 Sons Printing are up and humming at its new home on Canal Street after Hurricane Sandy ruined its Bay Street facility, the Staten Island Advance reported. New gear has been installed at the third-generation printing shop, including a Canon imagePRESS and a four-color Ryobi machine.

Owner Michael Esposito Jr. said that the former home for 3 Sons will eventually be demolished, with plans to construct a new shop, possibly with upstairs apartments, pending the receipt of commercial insurance proceeds, the paper reported.

Esposito said the move to Canal Street will enable the business to become a one-stop shop for its customers, the Advance reported.

The family plans to relocate it second business, Sign Men, from Grant City to Tottenville, in about a month. That shop produces signage and apparel printing.
