Abstract

This IDC study represents a vendor assessment of providers offering high-speed inkjet presses through the IDC MarketScape model. The assessment reviews both quantitative and qualitative characteristics that define current market demands and expected buyer needs for high-speed inkjet presses in the production print market. The evaluation is based on a comprehensive and rigorous framework that assesses each vendor relative to one another and the framework highlights the key factors that are expected to be the most significant for achieving success in high-speed inkjet over the short term and the long term.

"High-speed inkjet presses are the biggest growth opportunity in production print. Not only will they grab share from toner devices, they will help push the analog-to-digital conversion. Inkjet changes not only the pricing model for print SPs but also how they handle workflow and automation because of the increase in uptime and print volume. For the print SPs, inkjet is a game changer, and choosing the right technology supplier is imperative in riding that inkjet wave of success." — Amy Machado, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions
