Zeev Sela | EZ Hi Tech | October 2026
As of 16 Oct 2026
EZ Hi Tech services, rents and sells prepress, CTP and digital printing equipment to printing companies, with service contracts, remote support and calibration alongside.
This page maps the kinds of print businesses that buy that, roughly how many of most of them there are in the United States, and who usually signs off inside them.
Each group ties to work your own site describes. CTP and workflow serve plate-based printers, and your product range covers label, packaging, box and envelope work. Counts are United States firms, banded.
| Group | Organizations in the US | Under 20 staff | 20 to 99 | 100 to 499 | 500 or more |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial printers (offset, digital and label) | about 14,000 | about 12,000 | about 1,700 | about 390 | about 160 |

US firm counts by industry code, banded deliberately.
In a print business the person who feels the downtime raises the need, and the person who owns the budget signs.
| Group | Raises the need | Signs off |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial printers | Prepress manager, production manager | Owner or president in smaller shops, VP of operations in larger ones |
| Book printers | Prepress manager, plant manager | Owner in smaller plants, VP of manufacturing or operations in larger ones |
| Prepress, platemaking and trade finishing shops | Lead operator, production manager | Owner |
| Folding carton and corrugated box makers | Prepress or graphics manager, plant manager | VP of operations, general manager |
| Flexible packaging, bag and pouch converters | Prepress or graphics manager, plant manager | VP of operations, plant general manager |
| In-plant print shops | Print shop manager | Director of print services, with the purchasing office |
Your own post on Kodak ending support for legacy CTP models makes the case well. Shops still running the Magnus and Trendsetter lines lose manufacturer parts, firmware and technical help, and a breakdown can mean days of lost production.
That gives every printer, book printer and prepress shop still on one of those models a decision to make. They can keep the machine running under a service contract with you, or trade it in for a digital press or a different CTP. Your post offers both.
Your customers write about uptime on your testimonials page. The system went down and you kept them running, with a quick response and minimal downtime. The owner or VP who signs is buying the confidence that a job ships on time.
Your own repair post tells it from the prepress manager's side, with an early morning error and an order due by the weekend. That person often starts the conversation, even when the owner makes the call.
The people who usually sign at the groups above, one a company. Work emails and phone numbers checked on Oct 16, 2026.
