Editor’s Letter NEW BEGINNINGS


The end of the year often provides a point in time to either refl ect on the previous 12 months or to see January as an opportunity for new beginnings and resolutions. For Image Reports this means starting 2026 with a new


look. Not in terms of content, but in size to A4. This update refl ects our commitment to enhancing the publication’s design, usability, and overall reader experience; bringing it into line with other titles in the marketplace. Internally, you’ll notice no difference with the quality of content delivered and the scope of features provided by myself, Benjamin and, new to the team, Ana. We are 100% committed to actively investigating and supporting the wide-format print sector. For myself personally, I’ll be starting 2026 with a


newborn baby – so will defi nitely be starting the new year afresh! Although it won’t be my fi rst rodeo with a newborn, I feel like I will be starting from scratch all over again! My new year’s resolution will be not to let the baby go hungry and to keep on top of nappy changes! As I’m sure you’ve already guessed, this issue marks my fi nal one before going on maternity leave. For Image Reports, this means Benjamin will be


stepping into my shoes while I’m away, and Ana is joining the team to continue providing excellent coverage of the wide-format print industry. I hope you welcome her with open arms. I hope you enjoy reading this issue of Image Reports as much as we have enjoyed curating the content. I’ll be returning to this wonderful industry and magazine in the autumn of next year and I already can’t wait! Should you have any news you wish to share as we head into 2026, please do get in touch with Ana and Benjamin. You’ll fi nd their contact details to the right.
