Description

This IDC study analyzes a selected portion of our Corporate Print and Document Infrastructure Survey and focuses on the potential for workgroup color hardcopy devices in the corporate marketplace. It is part of a series of several short research pieces that discuss user responses to a variety of hardcopy issues. Other topics covered in this survey, but analyzed in separate IDC research documents, include hardcopy procurement process, MFPs, page volume and supplies, channel preferences, and document solutions/services.

"IDC's color printer and MFP forecasts show strong double-digit projections over the next several years. The enthusiastic response from the user community about color supplements our view of the market. The combination of users' increasing interest in color as revealed in these survey results and expected color shipment growth shows promise in bringing lucrative opportunities to hardcopy vendors participating in this market." ? Keith Kmetz, program director, Hardcopy Peripherals Solutions and Services
