K2 MARKET INTELLIGENCE
2026 Global Digital Production Press Market Guide
A comprehensive analysis of the B2+ production digital press market
July 2026 Edition
Understand the technologies, manufacturers and workflow considerations shaping production digital printing.
Free PDF download. Includes comparative technology analysis, production press reference tables and practical questions for evaluating digital production environments.
The production digital press market is evolving rapidly.
Production inkjet, LEP, toner and nanographic technologies continue to evolve—and choosing the right technology involves much more than comparing press specifications.
The 2026 Global Digital Production Press Market Guide provides a manufacturer-agnostic framework for understanding today's B2+ production digital press landscape and the larger ecosystem in which these systems operate.
The report explicitly emphasizes that production technology should be evaluated in the context of workflow, interoperability, people, standards and business objectives—not in isolation.
What’s inside the guide?
Production Digital Press Technologies
Understand the engineering principles, strengths and considerations behind:
-
Production inkjet
-
Liquid Electrophotography (LEP)

From Machines to Systems
Explore why interoperability, information flow and workflow are increasingly important to production environments.
Why Workflow Matters
Examine workflow as an operational capability—not simply software that automates repetitive tasks.
Planning for the Future
Consider training, total cost of ownership, scalability, resilience, integration and continuous improvement when evaluating technology investments.
“The goal is not to tell readers what to buy.
The goal is to help readers ask better questions.”
