Newton, MA (PRWEB) June 18, 2007 -- Lyra Research, the digital imaging authority, will host a live Webcast called "Corporate Printing Trends: Printers and Copiers Tell All" on Thursday, June 21, 2007, at 12 p.m. eastern daylight time (4 p.m. or 16:00 UTC). Lyra Research's recent analysis of data collected from printers, MFPs, and copiers currently in use in small, medium-sized, and large businesses in North America revealed several major findings that challenge established industry thinking. The upcoming Webcast will highlight five of these unexpected trends and include in-depth discussion and analysis, attendee polls, and a question-and-answer segment.

Lyra's Webcast is based on an analysis of printing patterns of hundreds of companies throughout North America collected by Office Print Monitor (OPM). OPM is a Lyra information service, powered by PrintFleet, that combines real-time, real-world corporate printing data with strategic analysis and insight to provide printer, MFP, and copier vendors with the information they need to evaluate and track changing patterns of printing in office environments.
Presented by Grey Held, director of Lyra's Hard Copy Supplies Advisory Service, and Cortney Kasuba, a Lyra industry analyst and program manager for laser consumables, the Webcast will explore why business users continue to favor monochrome printing despite a noticeable increase in spending on color printing devices such as copiers, single-function printers, and MFPs. Held and Kasuba will also explore the relationship between corporate print volumes and new hardware placements and examine how color devices are being used--from share of color pages and monthly print volumes to actual coverage amounts.
Lyra's OPM gathers printing data from thousands of printers, MFPs, and copiers installed in corporations in North America. Because this data is gathered directly from imaging hardware rather than from surveys about office users' printing habits, Lyra has developed an innovative and accurate picture of how imaging devices are actually used in the enterprise environment. Sign up today for this Webcast and prepare to be surprised at some of the findings. If you have questions, please call Sandy Tobin at 1-617-454-2612.

About Office Print Monitor
To help printer and copier vendors track changes in where and how hard copy is output, Lyra has developed a new information service. Office Print Monitor (OPM) broadens Lyra's current coverage of office printing by combining real-world corporate printing data, powered by PrintFleet, with Lyra's strategic analysis, forecast and installed-base data, detailed hard copy specifications, and ongoing primary research programs. With PrintFleet, Lyra has established an ever-expanding panel of hard copy devices that are monitored in real time. The current panel consists of more than 12,000 hard copy devices in more than 160 corporations throughout North America. On a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, Lyra can monitor each device in the panel to ascertain today's printing dynamics and to predict future trends for print volume, average coverage amount per page, and dozens of other print-related variables.
