Inkjet For All

In the early days of production inkjet press adoption, equipment was big, expensive, and limited to webfed presses. These factors presented significant entry barriers that initially limited wider-spread adoption.

Early production inkjet presses were substantial investments, both in terms of physical space and financial outlay. In addition, initial focus on webfed presses meant that the technology was primarily suited for high-volume, continuous printing applications. This limited its appeal to print providers who needed more flexibility or were focused on shorter runs and varied media types.

Today, there are more format and size options available, enabling more print providers to invest in production inkjet presses and the migration of more applications to them. A key innovation in removing entry barriers was the introduction of sheetfed inkjet presses. These presses expanded the inkjet opportunity for print service providers by offering affordable high-quality color printing, attractive running costs, smaller footprints, substrate flexibility, and enhanced productivity.

A key technology for lowering inkjet entry barriers is the Kyocera TASKalfa Pro 15000c. This special report combines NAPCO Research survey data, industry media coverage of production inkjet, and Kyocera customer case studies that examine how the TASKalfa Pro 15000c has lowered entry barriers and enabled more organizations to add inkjet to their operations.
