ZINK printing is a technology developed by ZINK imaging, which makes it possible to produce full-color digital images without ink cartridges, ribbons, or toners.  Colors appear on the special ZINK paper with the help of thermal paper. Some of the key advantages of ZINK printing over traditional printing are that the printing method is quick and does not require ink.   

In this report, Persistence Market Research (PMR) has segmented the global ZINK printing market based on component, functionality, connectivity, application, and region. By component, the market is subsegmented into ZINK-based paper and ZINK-based printer. The functionality segment is subsegmented into compact photo printer and camera with printer. By connectivity, the market is subsegmented into Bluetooth, NFC, and others. The application segment is subsegmented into home/individual and commercial.

The ZINK-based paper segment is expected to grow at a relatively higher CAGR as the demand for ZINK-based printers is growing rapidly in various countries, such as India, Spain, and GCC Countries, which is likely to lead to an increase in the demand for ZINK-based paper. Moreover, the global adoption of the Internet is rapidly driving the usage of advanced ZINK printing software and solutions.
