This IDC Market Forecast studies color laser and Inkjet cutsheet production printer/MFP shipments in Western Europe by type and by country. It describes forecasts for units and value from 2019 to 2023 and details major developments that may drive or shape the production printer market."Color production devices will continue to propel shipment growth in some production segments as print service providers (PSPs) and in-plants drive the message of high-value print to their customers. Toner image quality remains high in terms of gamut and sharpness, and toner has greater media capabilities. However, production cutsheet inkjet devices are increasing technology share," said Julio Vial, research manager, IDC Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions Group.
