Deep Impact
What will most impact the large-format print sector in 2023 and beyond? That’s the question we put to a broad range of suppliers to this sector. Here’s what they identified.
Figuring it out
IR Talks to... Olga Munroe, Head of the Retail Institute and chair of the BPIF POS Display Group
If you don’t know Olga Munroe it’s time you did. She became chair of the BPIF POS Display Group this autumn, where she is likely to make a real impact given her various professional guises, not least as head of the Retail Institute. So, what is she bringing to the table, and what does she hope you’ll put on it?
The Widthwise Discussions
Has much changed during the course of this year - and what do we expect 2023 to bring? That’s what PSPs and sector suppliers debated in two recent virtual discussion groups hosted by Image reports to address the issues playing out in the UK’s wide-format print sector. Here’s what key stakeholders had to say…
Make your mind up
‘The manager’s indecision is final.’ We’ve all worked with people who that joke has been aimed at. But it’s better to be indecisive and right than to be decisive and wrong.

Greenwashing: do you do it?
IR Talks to... Simon Cooper, MD, Solopress
This summer Solopress took on Phil Foster as head of business development, a new role for the £32m turnover company (estimated sales for 2022), which expects to further expand its payroll, kit list and business premises within the year. I asked MD Simon Cooper about the decision to create this new role, and whether we’re likely to see many more PSPs follow suit as they continue to diversify.
On the finishing line
This has hardly been a year of major innovation when it comes to large-format finishing systems, but in a bid to bring you up to speed with the advances that have taken place in 2022 we asked suppliers to flag up what they’ve added to their offering, and also where they feel there is still the most need/scope for further development?
