While our Knowledge Bank section is opened with our equally traditional pick of pressies for the discerning print boss. Of course, the gift that could keep on giving is running your own business, so we look at how to do just that.

For more established businesses, there’s the delicate topic of cutting costs, as the industry enters the quieter end of the financial year. So, we ask is it possible to maintain headcount in tough times? Fuel4 Print then closes the section by sharing how it designed its factory for perfect flow.

The issue’s product section details an impressive array of launches in ‘What’s new’, while Offset Print & Packaging reviews its huge Koenig & Bauer Rapida 145 and AlwaysPersonal assesses the Zakeke visual commerce platform.

Our technical wayzgoose details some of the tech behind early colour photography and one man’s quest to revive images of the past, and the product section is wrapped up with the issue's Best of British, Nu-Coat.

And finally, as ever, the issue is wrapped up with our sideways look at a bygone issue, with From the Archive dusting off the cobwebs from December 2009.
