Continuous-feed Printing In The In-plant

And just what are they doing with their continuous-feed equipment? A whopping 93 percent indicated that print data streams such as AFP/IPDS are quite important to operations, indicating that legacy data streams constitute the major flow within the shops.

It would be a mistake, however, to assume that those surveyed are primarily concerned with legacy applications. Support for page description languages such as PostScript and PDF was also deemed very important or extremely important by 80 percent of respondents, indicating a strong influence of convergence, according to Gordon. To support this, 66.7 percent of respondents considered server-based connectivity to be very important or extremely important. More than half—57.2 percent—felt the same way about channel connectivity.
