Lyra Research forecast 360 for hard copy supplies : Lyra Research's Hard Copy Supplies Advisory Service has published its Forecast 360 for hard copy supplies. The forecast estimates that just over 100 million aftermarket ink jet cartridges will ship for use in HP printing devices worldwide next year, and nearly the same number will ship for use in Epson printers. Lyra's Forecast 360 model offers more sophisticated forecasting tools that integrate emerging market dynamics into more effective data for industry vendors. Grey Held, director of Lyra's Hard Copy Supplies Advisory Service, explains, "If you look at the worldwide installed base of HP ink jet printers and MFPs, it is almost double the size of Epson's ink jet installed base."
