To ensure all those interested in developments in digital wide-format printing get the most from their visit to Ipex this May, Image Reports magazine will be running a wide-format product trail that runs on the 21, 22 and 23rd May. 
 
Lesley Simpson editor of Image Reports magazine said, “Our Ipex trail has been designed to ensure that those who are interested in digital wide-format production can take advantage of an organized, assisted tour put together by Image Reports magazine, which as an specialist independent body, can efficiently highlight the most significant innovations to the wide-format market to date. Both myself and Image Reports’ technical editor Sophie Matthews-Paul will be guiding the tour and will be on hand to field any queries.”
