<title>Printer Manufacturing</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-3257.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The US printing machinery and equipment manufacturing industry includes about 460 companies with combined annual revenue of about $3 billion. Major companies include offset equipment manufacturer Goss International and digital printer manufacturers Hewlett-Packard and Presstek. The industry is concentrated: the 50 largest companies generate about 70 percent of revenue.  The printing machinery and equipment industry doesn't include home and office printers connected to PCs or small office/home office (SOHO) desktop publishing systems.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand is driven by commercial print volume, which depends primarily on advertising and other business needs for printed material. Profitability of individual companies depends primarily on manufacturing efficiencies. Large companies have advantages of economies of scale in purchasing and manufacturing. Small companies can compete effectively by marketing and manufacturing products for niche markets, such as ticket printing for sports events.  PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY  Major products are printing presses (about 25 percent of industry revenue); prepress equipment (25 percent); binding machinery ]]></description>

<description> <![CDATA[ This IDC study looks at the worldwide and U.S. markets for PC client sub form factors and forecasts them out to 2013.
