Our Christmas gift to you, your December & January issue, may have made its way down the chimney a little ahead of Santa's schedule, but as usual it is jam-packed with business and technology long reads and snappy news roundups...

The issue kicks off with our review of the year as a timely reminder of just how eventful the past 12 months have been, and for those of you that prefer to look forward, it's followed by our predictions briefing where industry pundits dust off their crystal balls.

The Knowledge Bank section details the practicalities, and otherwise, of flexible working, how to deal with the impact of Long-Covid, and a detailed briefing on the upcoming tax changes. While the tech under review is the Bobst Visionfoil 104 foiler and Boomerang Boomer 6 folder-gluer, and the new products in the spotlight are Cron’s low-cost CTP 46 H+ platesetter and Hunkeler’s WI8 web inspection system.

And the technology section is rounded off with a forensic look at the new developments in interactive print and a potted history of Creative Edge Software in our regular Best of British feature.
