Technological advances have enabled inkjet printers to produce a wide variety of applications, including high-resolution photo prints and high-volume outdoor graphics. This new research reveals that inkjet has become the top technology in the digital proofing arena as well. Continuous inkjet printers like the old Iris devices basically defined inkjet in proofing, but these machines have been surpassed by thermal and piezoelectric inkjet technology.

For most users, the output technologies available today are quite sufficient for the majority of their proofing applications. In this study, users reported that the capabilities they will seek in their next devices include color and resolution capabilities that are presently available even on low-end devices. Nevertheless, wide format inkjet is the leading type of equipment for proofing applications. Wide format inkjet is also the technology that most users anticipate investing in for their next proofing device.

This report discusses the findings about the digital proofing market and what this will mean for the industry as a whole. The information contained in this report is the result of detailed primary research with companies that produce proofs as a component of their businesses.
