Abstract
This IDC study provides a 2006 year in review and a forecast of the large format printer market for both color and monochrome printers. The large format printer market continues to see growth, albeit slower, which is driven by the graphic arts market. Although the computer-aided design (CAD) segment is mature, it will remain an important driver for large format shipments.
"Overall, many segments continue to see growth within the color large format printer market. An area to watch is growth in UV-curable large format printers for a broad range of large format applications. Surprisingly, the monochrome laser/LED segment continues to show that it remains an important segment within the technical market overall within North America." - Riley McNulty, research manager, IDC' s Production and Large Format service
