Hello and welcome to Print Monthly September/October! It’s that time of year again when summer is over and many businesses must adapt to the “back to normal” mentality of the country as children go back to school, and workers return after taking annual leave. September also means the return of The Print Show, which is taking place once again at the NEC in Birmingham, in Hall 3 from September 23rd to 25th. This edition is our annual preview edition which is packed with all the information you need ahead of and at the show this year. Personally, I’m really excited for year’s edition, not only because it is the biggest show in recent years, but also because of the co-locating Sign Show, which will bring a whole host of creative applications and solutions to the show floor, including neon glass bending, traditional sign painting, and vehicle wrapping at The School of Wrap. Print Monthly will be there for the entire show on Stand P70 showcasing what we offer as a multimedia platform, including on stand interviews which will go out on YouTube and LinkedIn throughout the entire show. If you’d like to chat to us say hello to one of our team members, we’d be happy to hear from you! As well as information regarding The Print Show, this edition has a whole sleugh of useful articles and features to help you succeed in business. We have a guest article on page 66 about accessing R&D from Kene Partners, KC Media tells us all the benefits of using a PR service on page 62, and we speak to a host of trade printers in the industry on page 73. We also take a special deep dive into the fascinating 175-year history of press manufacturer, HEIDELBERG, on page 52. We hope you enjoy this bumper edition and I hope to see you at this year’s Print Show!
