LASER AND INK-JET PRINTERS
Howard Taub
Hewlett-Packard Labs
In prefatory remarks, Dr. Taub said he would go beyond the title of his presentation to speak about a third printing technology and about digital publishing, fields he held to be of great interest at that moment. And, embracing Dr. McQueeneyâs earlier statement, he asserted that it was no longer possible to talk exclusively about technology, but that technology, infrastructure, and business issues had to be considered together.
Showing a chart that indicated the actual and projected breakdown of market share among various printer technologies from 1998 through 2006, Dr. Taub noted that only a thin line represented color page printers and opined that, despite appearances, the workplace had not made the transition to color laser printers (see Figure 20). Market share for laser printers, designated as âmonochrome page printers,â was fairly substantial, but it was obvious that the ink jet had held or was expected to hold a consistent two-thirds of the total printer market over the entire period of the chart. In addition, ink-jet technology was used most often in multi-function printer peripherals, which as a category had passed monochrome laser printers to move into second place sometime in 2001. Sales of thermal printers and wide-format plotters were not large enough even to show up on the chart, while those of impact printers were visible but dwindling into insignificance.
