Industry observers like Gartner, Dataquest and Infosource predict huge growth in the sale of colour capable MFPs, particularly higher speed, higher productivity devices. The European market is way ahead of the US and Asia Pacific in its acceptance of colour. Infosource forecast that in Europe, by 2009, 50% of all high speed MFP sold will have colour capability!
At the moment there is a large and virtually untapped market for high speed, high productivity colour MFPs . Whilst manufacturers have introduced low to mid speed colour capable devices, there has not, until now, been a colour engine with the sheer
speed and productivity necessary to replace high speed black and white machines.
The Aficio MP C6000 and MP C7500 with their exceptionally fast colour output speeds and versatile handling are the first MFPs with the capability to replace high speed high volume black and white in the general office and light production environments. There is little viable colour competition in this sector. By taking a lead now you can take easy advantage of the high page volumes, both black and white AND colour, that these machines will generate.
