Abstract
This IDC study provides a detailed analysis of the production monochrome
opportunity by class of output device. The study segments the product
categories into light production and midproduction; 91-150ppm production;
151ppm or faster production; and highlight color equipment. Forecasts are
provided for shipments, value of shipments, and average shipment values.
"Although the monochrome market is mature, it continues to have life within it.
The light-production and midproduction segments can be expected to see
continued growth over the forecast period. Also, spot color applications will
increase demand for highlight color printers." - Riley McNulty, research
manager, IDC Production and Large Format Printing service
