Sales of toner systems will continue to grow, but at a slower pace. In 2022, the global toner digital printing press market – valued at $3.5 billion – was projected to reach $5.7 billion by 2029.In fact, sheetfed toner technology dominates the volume end of the digital print market according to drupa’s recent Horizon Report.
