Inkjet Printers Global Market Report 2026

An inkjet printer is a type of printer that utilizes small droplets of ink to create text, images, or graphics on paper or other printable materials. The printer works by propelling tiny droplets of ink onto the printing surface through a print head containing numerous nozzles. Inkjet printers are versatile and commonly used for document printing, marketing materials, and personal or home use.

The main types of inkjet printers include multifunctional printers, desktop printers, large format printers, inkjet presses, industrial inkjet printers, textile printers, and others. A multifunctional printer, also known as an all-in-one printer, is a device that combines the functionality of multiple office machines into a single unit. These printers are capable of printing, scanning, copying, faxing, and document management. They integrate different technologies such as continuous inkjet, drop-on-demand, UV inkjet, and others, and find applications in various industries such as packaging and labeling, publishing, advertising, textile printing, photo printing, and more. End-user industries utilizing inkjet printers include consumer, education, industrial, textile, pharmaceutical, and others.
