Editor’s Letter


HELLO AND GOODBYE!


This is a rather strange letter to be writing. Not only is it my fi rst upon returning from maternity leave, but it is also the last one I will be writing for the magazine. It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that this is the fi nal printed copy of Image Reports you will receive. For more than three decades, Image Reports has been the go-to publication for the wide-format print industry. We’ve reported on the latest trends, brought you news of the most innovative equipment releases, and kept you up-to-date with news from across the industry. But times are changing, and so is Image Reports. From


now on, we’ll be moving to an online-only media platform. By doing so, as an editorial team, we will be able to be more responsive to breaking news, product launches and industry developments. Rather than waiting two months for your next issue to arrive, you’ll be able to visit our website or social media channels and get the latest news as it happens. And while the way you receive your news may be changing, our commitment and dedication to the industry certainly isn’t. The content you know and love will continue, and we’ll still be here to share the stories, insights and developments that matter to the wide-format print sector, albeit online. So, please do continue to get in touch. Whether you have industry news to share, a product launch to tell us about, or simply fancy a chat, we’d love to hear from you. You can do so by sending any of the team an email or picking up the phone and saying hello. The future is online, and we’d love for you to join us as Image Reports continues to actively investigate, report on and support your sector; the wide-format print sector. I hope you enjoy reading this fi nal-ever printed issue of Image Reports. It’s the end of an era, but most certainly not the end of Image Reports. Ciao for now and see you online!
