Editor’s Letter


HELLO READERS!


It’s a joy to introduce you to our August/September issue of Image Reports and what an issue we have for you. This magazine showcases parts of our annual


Widthwise survey, which will be landing alongside this issue, an in-depth interview with Chris Davies, event director of The Print Show and many more interesting features and articles. Both Ben and I were incredibly busy working hard to


produce the features in this magazine and to kick it off we have the Talking Point feature with Chris Davies on pages 14 and 15, where you can fi nd a great insight into his background, career and why he started The Print Show over 10 years ago. The next feature you’ll come across is part of our What


to Watch series and is The Print Show preview – where you’ll fi nd key information about the show in September. This can be found on pages 16 and 17 respectively. Now as we move on, we see acting editor Benjamin


Austin, giving wrapping another go, as he visited Paige Walton’s The Vehicle Wrapping Academy to get some top tips on wrapping. This can be found on pages 18 and 19. Moving further along in the magazine we delve into the


world of water transfer printing, as assistant editor Ana Lambert talks to hydro-dipping businesses as part of this issue’s diversifi cation series. Alongside the features you can fi nd the industry’s latest


news on the wide-format print industry. 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


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