Large-format printers have been slow in coming forward when it comes to the ‘Schools Into Industry’ programme PrintIt! I know that over the years I’ve often flagged up the need for companies in this sector to get more involved with this initiative. To be fair, the schools competition element hasn’t always had a particularly strong, if any, large-format focus, which I guess may have put you off getting involved. But as Proskills UK managing director Jonathan Ledger calls for industry support for the project perhaps it’s worth a rethink. Limited Limited for instance, can see the value (see ‘Turning on the Talent’ feature at http://www.imagereportsmag.co.uk/features/business/4833-dream-dream-dream) and maybe you can too if you take another look.
