IDC's Industrial and Large Format Printing CIS covers industrial printing categories outside of conventional document printing including large format, production, 3D printing, labels and packaging, and textile printing including both direct-to-garment and direct-to-textile formats. Large format and production printing establishments are converging and expanding the types of printing and other services they offer. At the same time, manufacturers are developing in-house capabilities for a variety of printing services that rival commercial printing operations. Customer demand for fast cycle times, manufacturing flexibility, and sustainability are driving changes through the industrial and large format printing markets. In addition, IDC added new coverage in adjacent markets where the buyers of large format and production printing systems are investing now to leverage their expertise in digital printing.
