More Support For Multifunctions

A report by Lyra Research announced that there's a shift away from single-function, general purpose inkjets towards either multifunction (all-in-one) devices or photo printers. Not surprising, but interesting -- people are buying printers for either practical purposes or for digital photos, and those are very specific needs with very specific printers for each.

Multifunction and Photo Printing Are the Name of the Game in 2004 Ink Jet Market; Lyra report estimates worldwide ink jet MFP shipments increased more than 50% in 2004
