Installed Base and Market Potential for Traditional Bindery/Finishing Technology
|
|
The same forces that transformed pre-press and press rooms over the last decade are now reshaping the traditional bindery. This study profiles the North American installed base of in-line and off-line production bindery/finishing equipment by type, format (size), cycle speed, age, market, and shop size, to characterize the status of the current bindery, broken out by in-plant, production digital printer, commercial printer, and trade bindery.
The study also addresses barriers and drivers for bindery investment decisions including automation, JDF readiness, CIP4, etc. It delves into the decision process for new vs. used equipment. The study also identifies bindery areas where printers still depend upon manual hand labor operations, and areas in greatest need for automation. Jointly authored by State Street Consultants and Larry Tanowitz.

Life Cycle of the Analog and Digital Printing Plate
|
The objective of this study is to identify the consumption of printing plates by market segment and size of printer. This study analyzes products such as: conventional lithographic plates, direct-to-metal lithographic plates and direct to non-metal lithographic plates. This study also addresses how plate consumption will change in the next five years, what plates are being displaced and why, trends as to what type of plates are preferred within the above products and what factors drive purchase decisions on plates (run length, cost, brand name, sales channel, environmental, etc). The study also includes a sophisticated interactive model that correlates the installed base of equipment with plate sales; quantifies the dynamic factors; and allows each member to adjust the assumptions.

Current & Future Market Potential for Sheet&Web Offset Press Options&Accessories
|
The primary purpose of this study was to quantify and forecast the market for major sheet and web offset press options and accessories sold in the U.S. and Canada. This study analyzes 24 accessories such as in-line coating units; drying systems and technologies including infrared, UV, EB, and hot air; recirculators, chilling systems, and ink pumping systems; press and quality control systems; and in-line finishing systems. It also assesses the various customer procurement methods for these accessories such as: installed on press by OEM vs. aftermarket. We provide an estimate of the installed base for each accessory at the end of 2003 and provide forecasts for 2005 and 2007. The study also includes a sophisticated interactive model that allows users to change assumptions and develop their own estimates for each of the 24 accessories covered by this study.

GraphicArts Film Mkt Revisited:Relationship between Equipment & Film Consumption
|
As a follow-up to the study, "The Impact of Emerging Digital Technologies on the Market for Graphic Arts Film and Related Equipment: A Worldwide Perspective, 2002-2006," this study explores multiple dynamics that are having a bearing on the use and future of film - from direct-to imaging to the changing nature of the print industry to the US economy. This study reports the impact these dynamics have on film consumption and develops accurate estimates of the rate of decline of film products and the related equipment that image and process films. The primary component of this study is the development of an interactive model that quantifies the reasons for the decline in graphic arts film, specifically recording film. We designed a model with assumptions that can be easily changed by each user to incorporate their own ideas on how significant an impact each factor will have in the future.
