The seven-year-old forum, which gathers printers, publishers, ad agencies and repro houses to discuss issues around reliable ad delivery, is aiming to hold its first meeting outside London at the end of this year or early in 2006.
DAL chairman Gio Cantarella said: "There is a thriving pre-press and graphic arts community in the north of England and we would like to open up the benefits of DAL to those people."
Recent issues that have been debated have included font licensing, soft proofing and colour management.
