About Fireside Printing

Fireside Printing was established under the name Rush Printing in Warren, Michigan back in the early 1950s. Moved to Marietta, Georgia in 1999, Fireside Printing took on new life under the stewardship of Steve Rush. It was here in Marietta that the modern innovations were adopted that enable Fireside to provide greater flexibility at a lower cost than had been possible in the early days of the company.

The company now operates a wider array of presses that give us flexibility that our founder only dreamed about. This variety of equipment allows us to provide a range of options to fit your unique needs and your budget.

Steve began his journey in the world of printing under the tutelage of his grandfather Walter Pospiech at the age of ten. During one of the family visits, his grandfather was finishing up a print job on his 1905 vintage Chandler & Price hand fed press. After expressing keen interest in the machine, his grandfather began instructing Steve in the art of hand typesetting, press makeready and operation.

When Steve graduated high school, he embarked on an abortive effort to become a chemist, but quickly came back to the world of printing. Steve continued his education and training in the field of printing at The Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, and graduated with a degree in Printing Management in 1986.
