In this episode, recorded prior to the PRINTING United Expo that concludes today in Las Vegas, Founder Frank G. Cannata continues the inkjet conversation with Dustin Graupman, senior director of Kyocera Document Solutions America’s Ink Jet Division. They discuss the OEM’s quiet profile in the marketplace, and Graupman emphasizes its leadership position in the cutsheet space over the past seven years. Cannata reminds him that “dealers love to hear from other dealers” about production printing success stories. To that end, Kyocera is sharing commercial printing use cases on its LinkedIn affiliate page.
Kyocera color in the education space
Kyocera inkjet tech is helping to drive affordable color printing into the emerging education vertical market, Graupman continues. Editor-in-Chief Mark Vruno inquires about the return-to-print trend in schools, which Kyocera believes is real. Graupman thinks inkjet printing changes the requirements for dealers and their customers. Futuristically speaking, where does inkjet go next? How does the technology move downmarket? He contends that it will become center line over the next five, 10, or 15 years.
