Abstract
"The traditional copier business model has changed. The revenue and profit
potential for toner has never been higher, with most digital copiers now being
installed as network print devices rather than the standalone copier. The
amount of pages being printed on a copier device is considerable. When other
factors, such as color printing, are encouraged then the potential for
increased revenue is very high. Copier vendors are targeting the lucrative
workgroup and departmental printer markets with simple software and solutions
that will allow the IT departments to set their own printing parameters and
optimize their own requirements," said Phil Sargeant, research manager, Imaging
Hardware and Document Solutions.
