  • Infotrends Emerging Technologies White Paper
    January 17, 2008 Strategic Assessment Emerging Marking Technologies: A Review and Comparison of Xerographic and Ink- Based Imaging Authors Abstract Robert Palmer Several ink-based marking technologies have recently surfaced, and these technologies are causing quite a stir in the market. The potential for inkjet technology is based on some basic principles: ink costs less than toner; ink print heads have relatively few parts; and the quality that can be delivered is high. This white paper provides an overview and history of marking technologies and explains the potential benefits that ink-based systems could deliver to the office printing market.
