DuPaul: HP is dedicated to providing large-format printing technologies that meet the needs of our customers. Our latest technologies address a variety of concerns that we have heard directly from our customers, including a resolution to cumbersome design and print workflows in the AEC market, demand for an alternative to harsh solvent technologies and the need to use one device for a wide variety of value-add printing services. We will continue to keep our ears open to this market to develop the technologies our customers need to grow their businesses.

Phipps: I think the inks will continue to evolve to give us a greater color gamut at higher speeds on more substrates at a lower cost. That seems to be the trend. The good news is that profits should continue to be strong as long as you are bringing your customers new and exciting applications. Mutoh is continuing to develop and offer new printers to go after these exciting new markets and opportunities.
