PRINTING is the seventh largest industry in Britain - but also one of the least known about.
Banish images of noisy print rooms and inky printers: today's printing industry is high-tech - and demands highly skilled professionals.
More than 170,000 people are employed by about 12,000 printing companies in the UK.
Together, they generate sales of more than [pound]12.8 billion a year.
And the job title of 'printer' covers a whole range of occupations.
You could be an offset printer, working in a copy shop, or one of a team of machine minders working a giant newspaper printing press.
