In-plants are continually assessing their equipment and exploring new production devices to expand their offerings. In-plant Impressions recently surveyed more than 100 in-plant managers to learn about their motivations for getting equipment, their research methods, and their lease/purchases preferences.
That data is now available in a new report, offered free by In-plant Impressions, to give you insight into the equipment in-plants utilize and their future investment plans. Some key takeaways from in the report:
- Nearly half of respondents reported an increase in toner printing volumes this year compared with two years ago. The top three planned purchases over the next two years are all toner production printing devices.
- Cut-sheet production inkjet presses are now in place at 15% of respondents’ in-plants, and 7% have plans to add them in the next two years.
- The push to explore new offerings like apparel printing is apparent in the fact that direct-to-film printers are among the top five planned investments by in-plants.
- The No. 1 reason in-plants choose to get new equipment is to produce new types of work and add services, a change from two years ago when increasing productivity topped their list of motivations.
