Newton, MA (PRWEB) June 27, 2007

Two analysts from Lyra Research, the digital imaging authority (http://www.lyra.com), will anchor the Premax Conference agenda at the Remax Asia Pacific 2007 event in Zhuhai, China on June 27, 2007. Charles Brewer, managing editor of Lyra's Hard Copy Supplies Journal, and Jiqiang Rong, Lyra's director of primary research, will each explore the conference's main theme, "Issues and Solutions Discovered at World's Capital of Printer Consumables."

Charles Brewer will discuss current trends in the global digital imaging supplies market. His presentation will analyze the demand for ink and toner cartridges and examine how the installed base of printers, copiers, and MFPs is shaping the market for cartridges. He also will review key industry events and product launches and will assess the impact of each on the consumables market. Brewer's presentation will conclude with an evaluation of the competitive landscape and a discussion of market share gains and losses among digital imaging OEMs and third-party ink jet and toner cartridge manufacturers.

Jiqiang Rong will present key findings from three recent market research surveys conducted in China. His presentation will focus on Chinese home and business printer users as well as Chinese digital camera owners. He will discuss printing behavior, print volume, the use of OEM and aftermarket ink jet and toner consumables, and consumer purchase behavior and purchase intention. Rong's presentation will also identify the business opportunities and challenges facing printer OEMs and aftermarket companies based on the surveys' findings.
