Putting a Face on a Printing Firm
Yesterday I had the good fortune of meeting Dave Gilson of Gilson Graphics (Grand Rapids, MI) at an event hosted by Fujifilm. While he was there to discuss his excitement about Fujifilm’s new J Press 720 inkjet press, Dave made an impression on me for different reasons.
He talked about the growth of his company, which was founded (I think) by his father. We learned that he—they—embraced and invested in new technologies in the printing and graphics industry, whether it was modem-dedicated PCs or Xyvision systems or computer-to-plate technology. And they continue to do so.
