DUBLIN - (Business Wire) Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6e5101/inkjet_printing_pr) has announced the addition of the "Inkjet Printing Primer" report to their offering. This 56-page report provides an easy-to-read rundown of current state of inkjet printing systems for wide-format graphics, digital commercial printing, and proofing in the U.S. commercial printing industry.
The report provides a clear explanation of the various inkjet technologies piezo, thermal, continuous a "cast of characters" or a list of the manufacturers and systems currently on the market, a look at the applications (packaging, variable-data printing, transactional printing, industrial printing) for which inkjet systems are being developed, and conclusions and recommendations.
The report also looks ahead to technologies and systems currently in development, such as MEMS-based inkjet printing systems.
