Spencer & Associates began operations at the beginning of January 1989 in order to contribute printer technical and marketing expertise across the industry. The initial focus on technology-blind Color Print Quality – through analysis, consulting, and printer test file software – was welcomed by manufacturers and large users alike. In 1992, spencerLAB was launched as a separate division in order to provide independent test and comparative evaluation services to the digital printing community, with free access to all public reports, white papers, and other results. Today, Spencer & Associates offers a broad portfolio of printer performance testing, research and analysis – ranging from focus group management to productivity software tools and solutions – for manufacturers, distributors, print shop owners, and end-users worldwide.
