Digital imaging research specialist Lyra Research is hosting a live webcast titled “The 411 on MFP/ Copier usage trends” on April 29, 2008 at 12 noon eastern daylight time (US).The call will reveal several new findings from the company based on usage data from over 65000 copiers, MFPs and printers used by both small-medium sized businesses and large businesses in North America. Those interested in understanding these trends can register on the company website at www.lyra.com.

The webcast will be presented by Frank Stefansson, CEO and executive vice president of Lyra Research, and Cortney Kasuba, industry analyst and program manager for laser consumables. It will explore the continuing preference for monochrome printing despite increase in spending on color printing devices such as copiers, single-function printers, and MFPs. Even though the data, strategic analysis and insight is based on data collected in North America, we expect the information to help copier, MFP and printer vendors here in the UK or Europe also to evaluate and track the different patterns in the office environment. According to Kasuba, “The Webcast will examine MFPs from vendors such as Xerox, Ricoh, and Konica Minolta, and explore the relationship between average print volumes, color and monochrome printing, and color and monochrome copying. Lyra’s OPM research has found that, over the 12 months for which we analyzed data, monochrome printing in this comparison still hovered around 70 percent, regardless of the speed or price of the peripheral and despite the increasing color-capable installed base.”

The CX3641 MFP (multifunction product) is the first to embed document management integration and color management capabilities as standard features. By removing the need for additional dedicated PCs and servers, the CX3641 MFP can be easily integrated into existing document management systems.

The advanced features allow IT professionals to simplify complex and time-consuming processes to boost workgroup productivity, manage costs and still have the support of a robust business color MFP for standard business use.

The CX3641 MFP includes the company’s proprietary High Definition (HD) Color and Single Pass Color Technologies. The company claims that users will save significantly on time and money as they will not have to outsource their color printing and copying requirements. The product offers top quality business color printing and copying at up to 36ppm, black & white (monochrome) and up to 40ppm color for increased productivity.
