2009 Printing Industry Hall of Fame: Quest to Be the Best

Enter one guardian angel.

"One day I was dozing off and I got a tap on the shoulder," Zebrack recalls. "The guy says to me, 'Hey Herb, the great thing about printing is no matter how good you think the quality is, you can always make it better.' And that's stuck with me until this day."

Zebrack, 75, the president of Hawthorne, CA-based Lithographix, spent the next 50 years striving to make the quality of his printing better and better. He's left an impression on the printing world in general, and Southern California in particular, en route to his inclusion in the 2009 Printing Impressions/RIT Printing Industry Hall of Fame induction class.
