Europe's robust copier sales pave way for digital's gradual entry

Article Abstract:

Sales of digital copiers in Europe are anticipated to increase gradually in the coming years as sales of copiers in the region have increased steadily since 1995. By 2002, sales of digital copiers are expected to surpass those of analog copiers. The steady growths of digital copiers in Europe were attributed to strong demand in Russia and Eastern Europe and strong sales of low-end ink-jet color copiers in the small and home office markets.
