"Document Imaging Systems Market Report 2007" -- See the Full Picture.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c67509) has announced the addition of Document Imaging Systems Market Report 2007 to their offering. Report estimates that the UK market for document imaging equipment was worth PS1.97bn at end-user prices in 2006, having grown by 3.7% on the previous year. Growth across the review period (2002 to 2006) was erratic er·rat·ic adj. 1. Having no fixed or regular course; wandering. 2. Lacking consistency, regularity, or uniformity: an erratic heartbeat. 3. , reflecting the fact that this is both a mature market and one with some highly dynamic subsectors. The market is divided into the following sectors: printers and `all-in-one' machines; copiers and copier/printers; fax-based machines; and scanners. Within these sectors, equipment is segmented by factors such as printing technologies, speed, capacity and colour vs monochrome Also called "mono." Refers to display screens that use one foreground and one background color; for example, black on white, white on black or green on black. The first terminals connected to mainframes and minicomputers were monochrome, and monochrome screens were widely used on early . Business confidence was weak in 2003 and 2004, and the overall market for document imaging systems decreased in value, but confidence began to improve during 2004. By 2007, company profitability, business confidence and business investment were all at good levels. The general economy showed real growth between 2002 and 2006, and consumer confidence is fairly good. These trends have been benefiting this market since 2005. The shift from single-function machines to multifunctional equipment has been continuous since 2002, although the way data are collected makes this trend difficult to quantify Quantify - A performance analysis tool from Pure Software. . By 2006, unit placements of single-function printers still greatly outnumbered Outnumbered is a British sitcom that aired on BBC One in 2007.[1] It stars Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner as a mother and father who are outnumbered by their three children. desktop multifunctional machines, but in the copier and copier/printer sector, the majority of machines placed are multifunctional. The other major trend in the market is the increase in demand for colour, in printers, copiers and multifunctional products (MFPs). This trend has also been ongoing since 2002, but take-up of colour copiers and copier/printers was particularly strong between 2004 and 2006 and is expected to continue throughout 2007. The availability of affordable `colour-capable' machines that also offer fast, economical monochrome printing has helped the demand for colour to take off. The fall in price of colour laser printers and colour laser desktop all-in-one machines was beginning to yield strong growth for these product subsectors in 2006. The market for fax machines has persisted, despite the use of e-mail, and the decline in this sector is very gradual. In the scanner (1) See also antivirus program.

The scan head is moved under the glass across the page. Sheet feeders are usually optionally available that allow multiple sheets to be fed automatically. has slumped, reflecting a customer preference for all-in-one machines, but there is strong growth in demand for sheet fed document scanners An optical scanner geared to office documents rather than photographs. Also called "office scanners," "enterprise scanners" and "business scanners," desktop models have automatic document feeders that can scan in the range of approximately 15 to 100 pages per minute. for archiving purposes. The report forecasts that the total market will show steady growth between 2007 and 2011. Trends could include some erosion of inkjet sales by colour laser printers and MFPs, and by solid-ink and gel technologies. The trend away from single-function equipment to multifunctional machines will continue, although there will still be strong demand for laser printers and for dedicated document scanners. Colour will continue to increase its penetration of the copier/printer sector, and colour laser printers and MFPs should show strong growth now that prices have fallen. Across the whole document imaging market, the importance of environmental and energy-saving concerns will continue to grow.
