Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment.

How to avoid it: Start evaluating applications with an eye toward the right color technology rather than relying on what type of equipment is currently installed. By sticking only with what’s known, processors can stunt their growth or even give up market share to more innovative competitors. How to avoid it: Take a serious look at what special effects are available and consider how they might be used to help OEM customers gain market share.
