Editor’s Letter AND IT’S KICK OFF


Hello readers! It’s been a while since I last wrote to you and I hope you have been keeping cool in this warm weather. However, with the arrival of the FIFA World Cup,


Scottish and English fans alike are waving the St Andrew’s Cross and St George’s fl ag in the US over the past couple of days. And even with a much-loved sport running its course and Scotland’s fi rst world cup match win in over 30 years, the wide-format print industry is still actively producing exciting news and innovations. This magazine showcases an extensive FESPA review, highlighting not only the organiser’s efforts, but also the exhibitors and their technologies that make the show for the attendees. These features can be found respectively on pages 12, 13 and 14 to 19, respectively. Directly after you can fi nd the review on WrapFest which for 2026 co-located with FESPA and its other co-located events, the highlights of the event can be found of pages 20 and 21. On pages 30 and 31 you can also fi nd an interesting


environment piece from Samantha Overton from Zebra Print Group. Further on in the issue you will be able to fi nd the usual features: IR Talks To and Stuart Mason’s Business Knowledge.


Alongside the features you can fi nd the latest news on the wide-format print industry, along with an interesting case study about the fi rst installation of Agfa’s Jeti Condor RTR5200 in the UK. I hope you enjoy this issue of the magazine as much as Ben and I have enjoyed curating it. If you have any news which you wish to share as we dive


into summer, please do get in touch. You’ll fi nd our contact details to your right.
