At the annual PrintIT! Award ceremony during the recently concluded IPEX 2010 show, Elena Knight, marketing manager of XAAR presented an Award to Madeleine Young of Wycombe High School for the Best Understanding of Printing Techniques. The scheme, part of the ProSkills programme, aimed to raise young students’ interest and knowledge of the print and paper industry.
XAAR chose to sponsor PrintIT! because it sees inkjet at the forefront of print development and change. The company supports education and research into inkjet technology through Cambridge University. The youth of today drives the innovation of tomorrow and initiatives like this inspires young people at an early stage to discover more and get involved, according to Elena.
