| At the end of 2024, Keypoint Intelligence took a deep dive into the market to understand how printing in our busy lives is changing. Our curiosity asked what pages are produced on the home device and, just how important is that printed page to the user. In this presentation we'll explore some of our research findings and consider who is printing what, and why? And we'll be launching an exciting new service for remanufacturers from our supplies Testing Labs! |
