During the recent week of EFI Open House, dozens of EFI customers and prospects — along with industry media and analysts — attended a series of EFI Ignition open house events that provided a comprehensive view of EFI’s products and the growth opportunities display graphics providers can capture. The events — one-day invitation-only presentations and demonstrations at the EFI Global Inkjet Innovation Center in Londonderry, New Hampshire — were designed to highlight the ways print providers can take their businesses to new heights by leveraging leading-edge production solutions.
According to reports from I.T. Strategies, InfoTrends, IDC, FEFCO, and EFI, the current display graphics market represents approximately $80 billion in output value, and eight billion square meters. Of that, only about 40% is created digitally. But that is soon to change. Market trends accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic — from custom expression and online sales, to digitalization, social media, the environment, and challenges with the supply chain — have been driving rapid digital transformation. The newest EFI wide-format hybrid printer — the 126-inch wide EFI Pro 30hLED flatbed/roll-fed system — features dual-roll capabilities in Continuous Board printing models to give commercial print shops, sign shops, and in-plant print departments an efficient, versatile entry point into high-quality display graphics production.
