Digital Printer is the only UK publication to specialise in new digital technologies for commercial printers. These companies range from small high street shops and bureaux, through inplant/CRDs and general commercial printers, up to high volume specialists in direct mail, transactional and enterprise/corporate print. Many small to medium sized printers are looking to expand their scope by adopting wide format printing. Increasingly their customers are asking for multi-part work that combines ‘narrow format’ personalised mailers, brochures etc, with maybe posters, pop-ups and PoS material, all using the same core digital data and often ordered on-line.

Digital Printer magazine regularly covers companies working in this crossover market, as well as explaining new hardware and software developments. It regularly previews the Sign and Digital Show from its own market perspective, and the editorial writers attend the show and write about it afterward.
