Owner/Partner, President
Jim founded Colt Print Services in 1974 after an eight year career with the Xerox Corporation. Starting with a single printing press and a copy machine, Colt Print Services has grown considerably over the past thirty three years to become one of the top fifty Quick Printers in North America.
Jim’s experience early on with digital printing has helped to keep Colt Print Services at the forefront of this revolution. School groups and other printers often visit Colt Print Services to get a glimpse at the exciting future of digital printing.
In 2006, Jim offered ownership in the company to four key employees. In 2011, Colt Print Services will be under the full ownership of these employees. The company name was recently changed from Colt Reproduction Center, Inc. to better reflect the current services being provided.
While Jim is not active in the day-to-day activities of the business, he is still the major owner and works with the new partners on a regular basis.
