Research and Technology still move Printer Market 
Proprietary systems dominate The PC Sitting on your desk isn’t that much different from the one you have at home, despite what the PC vendors might want you to think. But there’s a good chance that the components of the personal printer in your office from one vendor bear little resemblance to the makeup of your home printer from another vendor.
Printers have remained defiantly proprietary in a world where hardware designers increasingly favor standard components. But many of the technology advances of the last several years can be found in the components of the printer: the ink, the printhead, and even the paper on which the output is printed.
