"Not only does Northprint present the best print production solutions from the top industry suppliers, but we also use the technology as creatively as possible to tell the industry about all aspects of the event," said organiser IIR Exhibitions’ event manager Gordon Kirk.

The podcast, sponsored by Canon, was produced in partnership in with PrintWeek’s sister title PrintBuyer, which is also running a series of free workshops on the first two days of the Harrogate event.

The 20-minute broadcast includes Printing World editor Barney Cox and features editor Karen Charlesworth discussing what the show holds, highlighting developments and applications that will be on the display and how these dovetail with the industry at large. PrintBuyer editor Alison Carter outlines what will be discussed at the workshops while Ben Milford, Canon’s head of professional marketing, talks about Canon’s essential business builder programme.

Northprint opens its doors on 24 April. For more information and to pre-register, visit www.northprintexpo.co.uk .
