Commercial colorimeters that measure color by analyzing light reflected from the sample surface are readily available (e.g., Konica Minolta, 2005).

State-of-the-art piezo-based drop-on-demand printers are produced by companies such as Xaar (UK), Konica Minolta (Japan), and Fujifilm Dimatix (US). These print heads have around 180 to 360 nozzles per inch and are designed to print at basic resolutions of up to 360 dpi with drop volumes down to about 40 pi (picoliter). This type of print resolution gives features equivalent to approximately 100 /xm track width on PET or PI substrates. However, Xaar s new generation "gray scale" heads allow variable drop volumes down to around 3 pi to give printed features of around 50 /xm or less.

The need for a continuous flow of new products is underlined by the evidence of certain products passing their peak in key markets. The latest example being digital cameras where a downturn has been identified in the North American market although growth continues in Eastern Europe, China, India and Korea as well as certain other markets. This situation mirrors the state of affairs in the mobile phone market. Already Kyocera/Yashica has cut back, as has Konica Minolta.
