Our Story
The history of Update Printing started long before we opened our first location in 1983. Michael Bucher, the founder and owner of Update Printing, started working at his next door neighbor’s print shop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Fascinated by the craft, Mike purchased his own letterpress and went on to participate in a high-school, co-op program where he spent half the day at school and the other half working in the print shop. Little did he know that at 14-years-old he had taken the first steps in what would become a very successful, 40-plus-year, printing career.
By 21, Mike was managing a fairly large print shop in Milwaukee instructing and directing about 25 people. After working in the management role for a bit, Mike found himself thinking: “Boy, I could have this headache and do it myself.” So, he left Milwaukee and moved to Colorado Springs to start a printing business in his parents’ garage. After three months, the business exploded: the printing inquiries had multiplied, the garage wasn’t big enough for all of his equipment, and the amount of work was just too much for him to handle alone.
So, Mike called up his childhood friend, Louis Kowalefski, and asked him to move to Colorado and help him really launch the business. Lou said yes, and, in 1983, the sixth grade pals started Update Printing at its first location on Rand Avenue. In 1987, the shop moved to a larger location off of Janitell Road in downtown Colorado Springs; and, a few years after that, Mike’s son, Alex, joined the team. Now, more than thirty five years down the road, the Update Printing team is still providing our old and new customers with the best quality in printing and customer service.
