This study will answer key questions around the demand of CMYK plus capabilities and how much value it provides for both PSPs and end customers.”
This new multi-client study will explore the demand and need for going beyond CMYK through extensive research with print service providers in the US, UK, France, Germany, Benelux and Nordics. Study objectives will include measuring the importance of providing CMYK plus capabilities to business customers who purchase printing services; identifying essential capabilities by application and type of effect; explaining the primary challenges related to selling CMYK plus services to customers; determining the current incidence of providing these services; examining PSP purchase intentions and demand drivers; and identifying core areas of objection among non-adoptions.
Participation methodology will include a web-based survey to 115 respondents in the US and a computer-aided telephone survey to a total of 115 respondents from the UK, France, Germany, Benelux and Nordics. Desk research will leverage Keypoint Intelligence’s prior quantitative and qualitative research as well as discussions with industry stakeholders.
