Kyocera commands a substantial 34.5% market share, making the inkjet manufacturer stand out as a pioneer in its market category. It is one of only two manufacturers whose performance has shown growth over the last four quarters total (2023 Q3 – 2024 Q2) in this space, achieving an overall growth of 5.3% versus the same period last year.

In the second quarter of 2024, the total production high-speed inkjet market experienced a decline of 25.5%, leading to an overall decline of 11.2% over the last four quarters total.

It is energy efficient and enjoys high uptime of over 90%. The press is capable of printing 146 images per minute both in black and white and in color with no slow down for duplex. Commercial printers have reported monthly outputs of over 1 million prints with the Pro. It generates excellent quality results, at 600-by-600 dpi or 600-by-1,200 dpi, and offers a wide range of media handling for diverse outputs.
