InfoTrends Forecast: Inkjet Targets Commercial

Figure 1 cuts the different technologies into two main groups, namely Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) and Drop-on-Demand (DOD). It further cuts these two categories by type of drop ejection, carrier fluid and colorant. As outlined below, there are far more technology variants available in drop-on-demand than in continuous inkjet. Please note that the "Other" category under DOD includes technologies that are not relevant today or in the near future for the graphic arts market, but may eventually play a role.
