Temporary Price Reduction: Was $795, Now $195.
The production printer market is mature but still represents a significant portion of the revenue in the monochrome printer market segment. Manufacturers of production printers have attempted to develop new applications for high-volume printers by placing emphasis on products designed for the publishing market where resolution of 600 dpi is required. This strategy has been moderately successful but has not yet achieved the level of new demand for which vendors had hoped. This report explores the five-year outlook for enterprise and centralized printing (2000 to 2005), key vendor strategies, distribution channels, and regional shipments, revenues, and installed base.
The enterprise segment includes monochrome and highlight-color electrophotographic printers with rated print speeds ranging from 40 to 79 ppm. The centralized printer market segment includes monochrome and highlight-color electrophotographic and ink jet printers that have a rated print speed of 80 ppm. Both of these segments are included in the report. All multifunction (copy/print) products, such as digital copiers, are included in Lyra's monochrome digital copier forecast (sold separately). The figure below illustrates the relationship between price and output speed for printers in the enterprise product segment.
