9:30 - 9:45 Introduction
9:45 - 10:30 Overview of Desktop/Consumer Printer Market
Larry Jamieson, Director, Hard Copy Industry Advisory Service, Lyra Research
This presentation looks at the changing consumer market from the perspective both of new users in emerging markets and more experienced users in industrial markets. Among the trends discussed will be the shift from ink jet printers to ink jet all-in-ones, the emergence of a new class of low-end monochrome and color lasers and their impact on ink jet, the spread of WiFi networks and the resulting change in home printer penetration, and new vendor pricing and application strategies.
10:30 - 11:15 Overview of the Ink Jet Supplies Market
Andrew Lippman, Research Analyst, Lyra Research
This presentation will discuss trends in the desktop and emerging office ink jet supplies markets. It will provide a forecast for ink jet cartridges and bulk ink in terms of both shipments and revenue. The presentation will explore ink jet and toner cartridge pricing and the evolving supplies business model as well as specific vendor strategies, strengths, and weaknesses. Also included is analysis of the long-term opportunity for ink jet in the office environment.
11:15 - 11:45 Beyond Photo Output: Anticipating Opportunities in the Evolving Photo Culture
Charles LeCompte, President, Lyra Research
Growth in sales of traditional photo prints is slowing down, and prices are falling, so the photo printing industry needs new opportunities. This session looks at two great new growth markets: photo books and photo novelty items.
11:45 - 12:00 Sponsor TBD
12:00 - 13:00 Lunch
13:00 - 13:45 Overview of Office/Enterprise Printer Market
Larry Jamieson, Director, Hard Copy Industry Advisory Service, Lyra Research
As the business printer market matures, vendors are now looking at the larger issue of printing and how businesses can better produce documents. This talk looks at key trends in the business printing market, including vendors' new focus on vertical markets and on user needs rather than price/performance, color printing and the battle over cost per page, the impact of a new generation of printer-based A4-size MFPs on the traditional A3 MFP (copier) market, the emergence of new classes of production printers, and the impact of new page-wide ink jet array-based printers on traditional laser devices.
13:45 - 14:30 Overview of the Toner Supplies Market
Cortney Kasuba, Research Analyst, Lyra Research
This presentation will discuss trends in the monochrome and color toner and toner cartridge markets, including market size and value for cartridges and bulk toner, cartridge pricing trends and the impact of the weak dollar for specific vendors around the world, trends in cost per page and cost per kilo, and the fast-developing market for chemical and mechanical color toners.
14:30 - 15:15 Regional Outlook: EMEA and China
Charles LeCompte, President, Lyra Research
This presentation will examine the European and Chinese markets, focusing on the unique habits of users in these areas and on the distribution channels being used to get products to market. Also included are market size figures for both areas.
15:15 - 15:35 Break
15:35 - 15:55 The Future of Wide- and Super-Wide Format
Andrew Lippman, Research Analyst, Lyra Research
The presentation will look at developing technologies in the wide-format ink jet printer industry. Market sizing for the aqueous, solvent, and UV-curable hardware and supplies segments will be included, as well as a close look at trends in UV-curable technology and the implications of rapid adoption. Key industry trends such as consolidation and the competitive environment for printer manufacturers and third-party ink suppliers will be examined, as well as a discussion of important findings from Lyra's 2007 U.S. Print-For-Pay Shop Survey.
15:55 - 16:25 Enterprise Printers and Copiers Tell All: Insider Insights from Lyra's Office Print Monitor
Cortney Kasuba, Research Analyst, Lyra Research
This presentation looks at office printer usage data provided in Lyra's Office Print Monitor service. Details on the methodology for data collection and the types of machines on the panel will be discussed, as well as a comparison of output trends over a one-year period. Also covered will be a close look at installations and print volumes for three vertical markets: health care and social assistance, professional, scientific, and technical services, and retail trade.
16:25 - 16:55 Cradle to Grave: Lyra's Whole-View Environmental Impact Analysis of the Digital Imaging Industry
Charles LeCompte, President, Lyra Research
What does growing concern about the environment and global warming mean for the printer industry? The impact of printers on the environment is substantial, from manufacturing to transport to product usage and finally to disposal. This presentation evaluates the impact of printing on the environment as well as the risk that environmental groups or even the government may respond by seeking restrictions on printing.
