What ePaper Ltd. does

ePaper Ltd. (legal name: e-Paper Ltd.) is an Israeli privately-held software and hardware developer founded in 2005, headquartered in Misgav at Kibbutz Samar, with regional offices in the United States (Port St. Lucie, Florida), India (Bangalore), Europe (Ljubljana, Slovenia), Latin America (Santiago, Chile), the UAE, and the United Kingdom. The company develops, manufactures, and distributes the Sentinel "all-in-one" cross-platform print management solution, which combines Windows Server-based server software, a Microsoft SQL Server database layer, embedded printing software on MFPs from 14+ OEMs (Brother, Canon, Epson, HP, Konica Minolta/Develop, Kyocera, Lexmark, Pantum, Ricoh, Samsung, Sharp, Toshiba, Xerox), and proprietary external hardware controllers (Sentinel Touch with 4.3-inch color LCD and Sentinel Light budget model) plus biometric, RFID, magnetic stripe, QR-code and NFC authentication peripherals. The platform provides pull printing, user authentication before release, rule-based printing, data leak prevention, billing quotas, multi-tenant MPS sub-sites ("Islands"), centralized reporting, load balancing/failover, multi-site WAN deployment, server-less printing, traffic-less printing, and Active Directory/LDAP synchronization.

ePaper generates revenue via software licensing and subscriptions (unlimited users, unlimited devices), hardware sales of controllers and readers, managed print services, technical support, and distribution rights awarded to authorized partners. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; a free 60-day full-version trial with technical support functions as the top-of-funnel mechanism, while a channel-partner program offering lead-sharing, marketing materials, accreditation, and 24-hour partner support is the explicit primary route to market. Customers are served both directly through regional enterprise field sales and indirectly through recruited global distributors, with a stated emphasis on US expansion. The company claims approximately 85% share of the Israeli MPS market and an enterprise customer roster that includes Tata Group, El Al, the Israel Defense Forces, Jet Airways, Motorola, Check Point, Mahindra Finance, Liveperson, and ACC (Adani Cement), spanning aviation, defense, technology/cybersecurity, financial services, and industrial sectors. Segment reach spans enterprise, SMB, education, healthcare, banking/financial services, legal, insurance, and government verticals.
