CRN Printer Week 2023

Welcome to Printer Week 2023, CRN’s annual look at the state of the printer market in North America. After two years of work-from-home policies, many employees are now working in offices full-time while others returned with a hybrid work setup.

Many vendors have dealt with component shortages causing backlogs throughout the pandemic. Home printers were stretched to the limit and the paradigm shifted again as office workers began returning at least on a hybrid basis. This shift created a demand for a diverse set of offerings that could complement the changing work landscape.

Check in throughout the week for ongoing analysis of the printer industry along with product roundups featuring the latest offerings from HP Inc., Xerox, Lexmark, Epson, Brother and more.
