The Hard Copy Observer was a regular publication of Lyra Research based in Newtonville, Massachusetts.[1] It was a business (as opposed to consumer) publication targeted at the printing and imaging business, and was widely considered[according to whom?] the premier authoritative factual source for that industry. Tekrati, a firm in the analyst relations business, summarized The Hard Copy Observer as "a leading publication serving the industry and, in fact, the printer industry bible."[2]
