He is as Old as Lead

Blog-Lead_type_mike

Every so often we feature a member from our team because we feel it is important for you to know who is doing the real work.  While Mike is not quite as old as lead, he was certainly using it at the start of his career, so the image above has fond memories. 

In the days of yore, individual letters were assembled in reverse order into words and lines of text with the aid of a composing stick, and the whole assembly was then tightly bound together to make up a page.  Mike entered the profession during the transition to linotype, which was still lead, but processed in a different way.  Allow us to introduce Michael Amos, Plant Manager.

amos_1296698680Nickname and battle cry: Super A - Faster than a sheet of paper; more powerful than a Heidelberg press; able to leap over a skid of paper; fighting for the right to put it on the press tonight! 

Year started at CPC Solutions: April 2nd, 1975, for a nickel more an hour and thought life could not get better.   

First job:  His first printing job was in 1972 where he learned to be a Chief 15 press operator for the Delta Newspaper, back when running black ink was really cool. 

Current position:  Handles all matters of production and makes it happen every single day. 

What Mike likes most about what he does:   The fact that printing is constantly changing, which gives him the opportunity to always learn something new.

Favorite hobbies: Fishing, when he makes the time, and glasses of red wine.

Thanks Mike for your expertise and many years of service!
