Event Review | The Print Show
The Print Show and The Sign Show 2026 delivered one of the strongest UK print industry events we have seen in many years. What was particularly encouraging was the effort exhibitors made to present a polished, professional image. Rather than relying heavily on shell schemes, many invested in substantial stands that showcased
their brands and technologies to their full potential, creating an impressive environment for visitors. For Epson, the show provided an excellent platform to demonstrate our latest UV, direct to film, dye sublimation and signage technologies. We came away with a substantial pipeline of opportunities for our value-add partners to pursue, reflecting the quality and intent of visitors.

THE PRINT SHOW WAS ANOTHER BUSY AND SUCCESSFUL EVENT FOR SWISSQPRINT, WITH
HIGH-QUALITY CONVERSATIONS WITH CUSTOMERS FROM ACROSS THE UK AND IRELAND, AS WELL AS WITH MANY PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS. OUR LIVE DEMONSTRATION OF THE KUDU, SWISSQPRINT’S HIGH-END FLATBED PRINTER, PRODUCING FULL-SIZE 8X4 MEDIA WAS PARTICULARLY WELL RECEIVED. THERE WAS ALSO STRONG INTEREST IN THE WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS ON DISPLAY, FROM RETAIL GRAPHICS, POS AND INTERIOR DÉCOR TO SPECIALITY EFFECTS SUCH AS NEON COLOURS, TEXTURED FINISHES AND VARNISH PRINTING.

WITH THE PERFECT PLATFORM TO LAUNCH THREE HUGELY SIGNIFICANT NEW PRINTERS: THE MIMAKI JFX200-2515 PRODUCTION FLATBED AND UJF200 SERIES SMALL FORMAT FLATBED UV PRINTERS BOTH ENJOYED AN EXTREMELY POSITIVE RECEPTION ALONGSIDE THE EQUALLY POPULAR TXF330-800 DTF MODEL. EVENTS LIKE THE PRINT SHOW DELIVER A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET UP AS AN INDUSTRY, SPEAK WITH CUSTOMERS OLD AND NEW AND PRESENT THE VERY LATEST TECHNOLOGY TO AN ENGAGED AND INFORMED AUDIENCE.
- Andy Gregory, sales director at Hybrid Services
It was a brilliant show for us. There was a constant and steady flow of interested people. We’ve dealt with a lot of serious visitors with real intent to make an investment in new kit. UK buyers are giving Chinese-made print equipment much greater consideration these days, but support is still the first thing they ask about, and it’s something I never try to dodge or fudge, because it is the most important consideration. We’ve been really happy with the interaction, engagement and feedback we’ve had at the show, as well as the very positive conversations that we fully expect will lead to more sales.
