New Study Covers Digital Printing in Government

INTERQUEST has released a study called Digital Printing in Government: Perspectives of Federal Print Buyers & Third-Party Providers. The study is based on extensive, in-depth interviews with 60 large government agencies and service providers. It complements a 2007 report which primarily focused on in-house printing at the state, local and federal levels.

The study focuses on three primary areas: the government procurement process, including an in-depth look into the Government Printing Office (GPO) practices and trends; government print buyers, including overall practices and trends in procuring print; and the use of digital printing technologies among leading providers to the federal government. Issues and topics related to digital printing include:

• The use of monochrome, highlight and full-color digital printing in the federal government market
• Key applications and volume trends for digital output
• The use of leading edge techniques enabled by digital printing such as variable data
• The impact of electronic media on digital and conventional hardcopy printing
