It was all rather nerve-wracking: on the back on a stream of more important journalists, I found myself herded by Océ onto its stage at Ipex to be interviewed. An unusual position for a print journalist to find himself in all of a sudden, but the talented Katy Haswell was a kind and engaging host.

I get the better of the nerves after the first question, and try to make a few points. One of them is a point I hope to make regularly -- that wide-format printing and all of the possibilities therein should be introduced to the younger generation as soon as possible. It is an accessible industry despite being highly technological and my gut feeling is that teenagers would lap up the chance to play around with these technologies.
