PAYNE PRINTERY — A PASSIONATE PRINTER

In 1985, shortly after Robert Payne’s death, the couple began running the company.

Moving Ahead

The Gauntlett’s made some major overhauls during the mid- to late-’80s, including a facility move and an upgrade to five-color printing capabilities. The original Dallas facility was old—and space was becoming an issue—as the company grew. Thus, the Gauntlett’s oversaw construction on a new 50,000-square-foot facility, built at Payne’s current locale, in Dallas. Payne’s facility was designed around its workflow, so that everything runs smoothly from prepress to mailing.
