# Printing and Signage Lead Generation Printing is a capital-intensive manufacturing business where the equipment defines the market a firm can serve. Press capability is published on almost every printer's website, because it's how they win work — which makes capability-based qualification unusually easy. The industry is consolidating under margin pressure, which makes anything that reduces cost per job or wins higher-margin work genuinely interesting. ## Who actually buys | Type | Who decides | |---|---| | Copy shop / small format (under 10) | The owner. Small budget | | Commercial printer (10-60) | Owner or production director. Main target | | Mid printer / converter (60-250) | Operations or production director. Best target | | Packaging or label converter | Technical or operations director | | Large group | Central procurement | | Sign maker / installer | Owner or operations manager | | Trade printer (prints for other printers) | Commercial director | **Press capability is the segment.** Litho, digital, wide-format, flexo and screen are different businesses with different economics, run lengths and customers. A firm running B1 litho and a firm running a wide-format roll-to-roll share a trade name and nothing else. **Trade printers are a distinct and overlooked segment** — they print for other printers, run at high volume on thin margins, and buy operational tooling readily. ## Where these leads live | Source | What it gives you | Quality | |---|---|---| | Print in
