PM_NOV_DEC_2025

Hello and welcome to Print Monthly November/December! How is it already the end of the year? 2025 really feels like it has zoomed by – helped particularly because of all the news, events, and updates taking place over the past 12 months. As we transition into 2026, it is always the perfect time to reflect and look back at what has been achieved in the last year, as well as what can be improved in the months ahead. This year we saw a lot of change at Print Monthly with new team members joining us, as well as existing members progressing to new roles, after helping to evolve what we create and output. I am writing this not long after returning from PRINTING United, where me and my colleague Jonathan not only got to see a trade exhibition on the other side of the pond, but also see the power of a multimedia approach when covering the industry. Following this I am thrilled that Jonathan has recently taken on the role of commissioning editor, meaning he will have a great part to play in creating new video content, as well as continuing to produce great articles here in the magazine, and online. The new year will also bring some exciting new audio, video, and written content from the entire team here at Print Monthly, so watch this space! The Print Show in September was another fantastic demonstration of what could be achieved within the industry, not only for how we cover it, but also for visitors seeing what is possible in regard to print and signage. Being situated on our interview booth meant we got to speak to lots of professionals across the industry, as well as get a feel for what are the biggest topics everyone is talking about. Check out our YouTube channel for plenty of interviews at The Print Show as well as our coverage at PRINTING United Expo in Orlando. In this edition you can also read all about the many events that have been taking place across the industry, including news from PRINTING United on page 13, and our Print Show review on page 38. On pages 29 to 31 you can learn all about James Cropper and its impressive 180-year history, plus there’s plenty of news concerning the industry on pages 5 and 6. This edition’s Under the Hood takes a look at the popular new DTF solution from Epson (page 19), while on pages 26 to 27 you can get a fresh perspective from Jack Good about encouraging reusability within the print and packaging industries.
