Newton, MA (PRWEB) April 3, 2008 -- Lyra Research (www.lyra.com), the digital imaging authority, will complement Recycler Publishing and Events' Remax Düsseldorf 2008 trade show with a mid-show conference entitled "The Lyra Ink Jet and Toner Supplies Forum: Europe." The conference, co-presented with RPE Research, will be held on Friday, April 11, 2008, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Messe Düsseldorf. Diamond Dispersions, Ltd., G&G/Ninestar Image Company, and XPS are proud sponsors of this one-day conference, held during the biggest European trade show for the printer cartridge remanufacturing industry.
Remax attendees are invited to join industry speakers and Lyra's leading imaging consumables analysts for in-depth analysis of worldwide and regional toner and ink jet cartridge markets. With continued consolidation, impending lawsuits, and rising consumer demand causing shifts in distribution channels for aftermarket cartridges, aftermarket vendors need to reassess and adjust their business strategies to maximize sales and profits. Lyra's analysts will present market forecast data and analyze trends among aftermarket ink jet cartridges and desktop ink jet media. In the afternoon portion of the conference, attendees can opt to attend an ink jet supplies track or a laser supplies track.
The day's agenda runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and includes the following presentations and discussions:

Worldwide Hardware Trends

This presentation will open with a discussion of the worldwide shipments of ink jet and laser printers and copiers in 2007.

David Connett, Publisher and Managing Director, Recycler Publishing and Events

We take a look across the three desktop printing technologies and examine the market share for printers and consumables in Europe and make comparisons between the different strategies of the leading aftermarket players and OEMs.
