EAGLE EYE – BI

Inkjet printers

In 2025, inkjet printers continued to be a central part of the UK print landscape, blending affordability with quality and versatility for home and business users. From compact desktop models to robust high-capacity and tank-style devices, inkjet technology answered diverse channel demand.

UK and wider European demand remained resilient, with growth supported by wireless connectivity, compact form factors and the rise of high-capacity ink tank models. These systems, offering dramatically lower cost-per-page, attracted SMBs and remote workers looking to reduce ongoing costs without sacrificing performance. At the same time, commercial and production-grade inkjet use expanded, reinforcing inkjet’s relevance beyond just consumer print. Looking ahead, inkjet’s future in the

channel is increasingly tied to value, sustainability and smarter design. Buyers are prioritising lower waste, energy efficiency and predictable running costs, while expecting seamless mobile and cloud printing as standard. For resellers, the opportunity lies in positioning inkjet not as a budget alternative, but as a long- term, efficient printing solution, one that aligns with hybrid work, environmental goals and evolving customer expectations as the market moves into 2026. n
