The electrophotographic equipment of digital printing is a part of Quick Print. Here is occupied a lot of American and especially of Japanese corporations. The global necessity of the equipment by a 2001 is evaluated from 1 up to 1,8 millions units. Among set of the equipment for copying and output of the computer information is possible to select some categories. These categories are joined by a common electrophotographic technology of digital printing. All these categories concern to a known contactless technology of printing «Computer-to-Print». It is conditionally offered all equipment to divide into categories:A. Colour digital copy machines (digital color copier);B. Colour copying - output machines (color copier/printer);C. Colour digital printed machines (digital color press);D. Colour laser printers (color printer).The objective of the present work is the analysis of the tendencies of development of an equipment of these categories.
