Steve Pandolfi

CEO, dcc

Steve’s reputation as a leading retoucher in NYC allowed him to penetrate the highly critical fashion and cosmetic industries. He is renown for the quality of his work and his dedication to meeting customer needs. In 1996, dissatisfied with the way others struggled to produce the digital art he painstakingly worked so hard to create, Steve took the next logical step entering dcc into the world of c-prints and large format display work. To compliment dcc’s high end prepress, in 2002 he partnered with Don Terwilliger, a highly regarded printing industry expert, and created the dcc printing division. Steve has led dcc to receive numerous industry awards, including Printer of the Year. In efforts to support sustainable business practices, dcc operates using green power and renewable energy, and is FSC certified. Learn more at dccnyc.com
