Alon Bar-Shany, vice president and general manager of HP's Indigo Div., also addressed the group. He said the 5,000 active HP Indigo presses operating worldwide produced 10 billion pages in 2008. Bar-Shany added that the digital printing markets in the United States and Britain have been hit the hardest by the global recession, especially the demand for direct mail and transpromo applications. However, he pointed out that photo specialty applications are still growing at about a 50 percent CAGR, of which HP Indigo press users hold a major market share.
