SOMETHING FOR THE JOURNEY<br />
Any journey into the unknown is made easier<br />
with good navigational tools, which is exactly<br />
why Image Reports magazine has<br />
undertaken this second annual Widthwise<br />
Report – to provide you with a statistical map<br />
of the UK’s digital wide-format sector and a<br />
roadmap to the future.<br />
This is the biggest ever survey of the UK wide-<br />
format print market, with 246 print companies<br />
of all sizes from across England, Ireland,<br />
Scotland and Wales polled between March<br />
and May 2009. The resulting data has been<br />
compiled by graphic arts market research<br />
and strategic consulting company InfoTrends<br />
into a series of easy-to-digest graphics that<br />
you will find throughout this Widthwise Report,<br />
