Continuous-Feed Inkjet Paper Options Continue to Ramp Up
Why isn't the market share of inkjet papers bigger?
There are technical challenges for paper. This challenge is greater with more color because more color means more ink and more water, and because more color often means coated papers. Coated papers are especially challenging for inkjet because the water must pass through the coating while the colorant remains fixed on the surface.
