What a relief it is to be gearing up for a busy winter after such bleak times.The economy’s not out of the woods by anymeans but national retail figures are picking up at last so hopefully it will be a far less austere Christmas for imaging on the high street. This issue of Pixel Imaging
Guide brings you all the industry contacts you need in a new and easier to use format, plus insights, innovtions and trendsto informand inspire you whilst you look ahead to your business’ next sixmonths. It’s been intriguing to look back at the first half of 2010, a year which has already brought some surprise products and continues to show promise,with new lines to be launched at photokina and the Retail Imaging Show. I wish you the very best for the remainder of the year and
hope to see you at the Retail Imaging Show, 22nd October, at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square.
