Watch Online Hello and welcome to Print Monthly March/April! It’s safe to say that as we enter into Spring the whole of the UK has its fingers crossed the rain will end and we will finally get to go out in the sun and into calmer weather. However, I hope you will remain glued to your office chair for a bit longer as this edition of Print Monthly reflects a lot of the big news and shake ups taking place in the industry. Our news section is packed with stories from the industry including the continuing ramifications of Covid-19 Bounce Back loans, new industry reports and schemes, and a mix of positive and negative news regarding UK businesses (pages 6 to 9). While it is clear from the beginning of 2026 that restructures, reframing, and new outlooks will continue to be the norm for the foreseeable future, it’s promising to see so many cases in which the industry is adapting to change. Many businesses are continuing to diversify, as evident in our business and kit and consumables news (pages 9 to 12). Our materials and events sections (pages 14 to 20) are also testament to the increasing popularity of certain sectors of the industry such as books, premium print, paper, and of course, packaging. Every issue I also continue to be impressed by the fantastic voices we have emerging in our industry, especially when they understand the topics we are facing so well. This edition’s Fresh Perspectives special (page 27) comes from Rebekah Hughes from Latcham, who gives a great analysis of the roles both print and digital marketing can play in the future. Hughes stresses the importance of teaching students and young people about both mediums and embracing the strengths of both in order to achieve similar goals. A topic I got to personally look at this edition was the increasingly important issue of cybersecurity (page 37) in which I spoke to a variety of experts from across print, software, and security. The feature highlights the dangers businesses face if they do not protect themselves from system infiltrations, and the damage that can be done if companies do not take cyber-attacks seriously. On top of this we also delve into big kit in the form of the KODAK PROSPER 7000 Turbo (page 22), learn more about the importance of humidification systems in print (page 42), and ask the question: “Should you invest in a new MIS or upgrade your current set up?” (page 55). All this and more in this edition of Print Monthly!
