Desktop Digital Printing--Waldman

What does all this mean to you, the commercial printer? First, if it doesn't produce a contract proof now, how long before a device costing even less is introduced that can satisfy most (not all) of your proofing needs? And how about remote proofing with your top customers?

The bigger question is: Will high-quality laser printers like the Xerox Phaser affect your business? Many—large-format sheetfed printers, in particular—will immediately dismiss this thought with the firm belief that the speeds are still too slow and, to produce good work, adjustment expertise and finishing are still required.
