The U.S. Production Copying & Printing market continued to experience growth overall in 2008 despite the economic downturn that dominated the year’s end. This growth was fuelled by process color placements, which grew 5.8% from 2007 to 2008. With process color being seen as providing new business opportunities, color purchases will weather the storm better than monochrome. Even in the case of process color, however, the market will await firm signs of a rebound before committing to new investments.
