The PrintIT Awards 2026 judging process is almost complete and we’ll announce the shortlists on Monday September 14. Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit an entry this year, the response has been amazing. We’ve received an impressive volume of entries spanning every corner of the industry and the standard is once again exceptionally high, leaving our independent panel of judges with no shortage of tough decisions to make! This month, I spoke to Vasion CEO Ryan Wedig about the company’s channel-first strategy and why partners are central to accelerating adoption of intelligent print automation following its recent launch to market, you can find out more on page 30. And on page 36, Folio1 Commercial Director Nigel Eaton explains why security, compliance and recurring revenue, rather than hardware refresh cycles, will drive the next phase of growth for UK resellers and managed print providers. Also in this issue, Emma Filmer, Business Development Manager – UK&I, PFU – a RICOH Company, picks the work tools she uses every day and couldn’t do her job without (page 18).
