Abstract
This IDC study provides residual value forecasts for select HP printers. The
study explains the current market conditions that are affecting the value of
used printers on the secondary market and what future technological changes
will further impact these values.
"The breadth of HP' s printer technology is one of its key strengths in the
market; customers depend on the reliability and leading-edge technology of HP
printers. The economic life of these printers is approximately four years
because of the introduction of aggressive price-performance replacements and
incentives to move from lower- to faster-speed segments." - Susan G. Middleton,
research director, IDC' s Technology Valuation Service
