Delgado runs his shop like a business. He approached things that way from day one.

“We had a Chief 17. Run time was slow, set up was slow. Quality was iffy. When they asked me to take the managing position, I told them, ‘You have to get rid of that press; it’s killing you. Get an A.B.Dick in there, get a new [Itek] camera.’ They agreed to it.”
