Global Large Format Printers: Segments

Aqueous ink segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2021-31

Global Large Format Printers Market is fragmented by ink type into Aqueous, Solvent, UV-Curable, Dye Sublimation, Latex, Others. Both offer advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost and overall picture quality. Aqueous ink takes much longer to dry and is not waterproof in most cases. Furthermore, when exposed to UV radiation, this sort of ink degrades. Although the solvent ink is waterproof and UV resistant, it emits extremely dangerous chemical vapors during the printing process, necessitating specific ventilation. UV cured ink, on the other hand, has a number of advantages: it dries practically instantly, is UV resistant, and has no substantial environmental impact.

Ink-based segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2021-31

Global Large Format Printers market is segmented by technology into Ink-based, Toner-based. The rising use of inkjet large format printers for technical and CAD printing applications is one of the key reasons for the market's higher growth rate. The architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries have traditionally favored laser printers because they use fewer colors and print faster than inkjet printers. However, as time has passed, inkjet printer manufacturers have begun to offer quicker inkjet printers with lower operating costs for big format printing, resulting in broad acceptance of inkjet printers in these industries. The replacement of toner-based printers with inkjet printers, which offer benefits such as low cost and low maintenance, is the reason for the decline in demand for toner-based printers.
