Taipei,
Oct. 2010 –Sales of SFPs (single-function printers) in Taiwan reached

and quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) increase, according to the IDC Taiwan
Quarterly SFP and MFP Tracker report.Shipments of inkjet MFPs

overall market and in the A3-size segment color models are expected to
replace more black-and-white counterparts this year.Over 90% of

businesses (SMBs), and shipments of such products accounted for 77% of
the overall printer sales in Taiwan in the second quarter.Shipments
