With diversification now pretty much the norm among large-format PSPs – and in light of various recent moves by machine and materials suppliers to focus on opportunities in the printed textile market, especially in fashion, it’ll be interesting to see how many get involved in the near future. It’s something that has been pushed as an option for quite some time now, but our 2020 Widthwise survey of PSPs show it’s still not really something many are taking up – not because of machine capability (or lack of), but because of the route to market etc. Maybe we’ll see that change in the 2021 Widthwise poll. Meanwhile you can get the 2020 one here – https://www.imagereportsmag.co.uk/widthwise –  if you’re yet to see it.
