Hello and welcome to Widthwise 2010, the third annual wide-format printer survey and report to be undertaken by Image Reports.
Based on data collected from 222 print companies involved in wide-format print in the UK and Ireland, Widthwise 2010 is the most sector and regional specific report of its type. Using the feedback from a poll of printers undertaken between March and June 2010, the Widthwise Report builds upon the grass-roots experiences and expectations of a true cross section of the industry to provide an insight into competitiveness and what it takes to become a leader of the pack.
To help you more easily digest the findings of the printer survey, graphic arts market research and strategic consulting company InfoTrends turned the data into a series of easy-to-digest graphics that are presented in this report alongside analysis and associated features by the Images Reports’ editorial team.
A massive thank you to all those who took part in the printer survey and to the sponsors for their support of this project which is intended as a tool to help the wide-format community move business forward.
Look out for follow-up coverage in the magazine and online and especially for the Widthwise roundtable discussion in October, which will be reported upon in the December, issue of the magazine.
