Is Inkjet in Your Future?

What's most interesting is that none of these machines are the game-changers pundits would have you believe. It will be a machine-generation or two—when cut-sheet models come to market that compete directly with EP systems, and offer inkjet economics at lower print volumes (i.e. under 2 million/month)—before the shape of the –market will truly change. And vendors are silent on plans for cut-sheet inkjet. For the next five years, inkjet systems will take work from both offset and EP presses, but will ultimately coexist rather than replace or dominate. IPG
