New Study Analyzes In-plant Market

When InfoTrends studied in-plants in 2004, 63 percent of respondents offered digital color printing services; in 2008, nearly 86 percent said they offered it. Black-and-white digital printing has grown from 71 percent of respondents offering it in 2004 to more than 85 percent last year. Respondents say that 70.6 percent of their color volume is now produced using digital devices, compared with 47 percent of color volume in 2004. In addition, the study reports that fewer in-plants are offering offset printing than in 2004.
