He became one of two press operators, printing one-color forms and letters. Eight years later, a supervisor's position opened up and Wamsher got the job. Four years after that he became manager.

"That's when we started to grow," he says. Wamsher saw the opportunity to do more color work and eventually convinced the company to buy a pair of two-color Multigraphics 1850s. At times the in-plant used them to do four-color work, feeding sheets from one press into the other. A few years later he added two- and four-color Solna presses. By 1980, the in-plant was up to 10 employees.
