P&P LIVE! 2023 Review
the Xpres stand, visitors were able to see Mimaki’s first direct to film printer, the TxF150-75. This was the first showing anywhere in Europe for this printer, with news of its launch announced just four days before the opening of the exhibition on Sunday, February 26. Over on the MHM Direct GB stand, two brand new machines from Brother were being demonstrated – a prototype of Brother’s first standalone direct to film printer and a Hexa version of the GTX600, which includes added orange and green inks to produce vivid prints. Also seen for the first time anywhere in Europe was DuPont’s new Artistri P1600 DTF inks. These inks were put to the test printing non-stop throughout the three days on Resolute DTF’s R-Jet PRO DTF V4 system.
You can discover more equipment that was demonstrated and showcased during the three days over the page.
Exhibitor feedback
Feedback from exhibitors was also extremely optimistic, with many commenting it was fantastic to see the garment decoration industry thriving in a post-pandemic world. Rob Smith, director of Wilcom Europe, commented: “Printwear & Promotion LIVE! has certainly returned in full force in 2023. It was great to see the industry bouncing back from three hard years and starting to invest in new innovations, better quality, and greater effi ciency. The Wilcom team is proud to play a part in that.” Tim Roberts, sales director at Chadwick Teamwear, added: “We received more enquiries and sample orders than any other event we have previously exhibited at. Printwear & Promotion LIVE! continues to surprise me with the number of new contacts we make year after year.”
• Printwear & Promotion LIVE! 2024 returns to Hall 20 at the NEC in Birmingham from Sunday, January 28 to Tuesday, January 30. Save the date!
We were delighted with the visitor turnout this year with a 15% increase on the April 2022 show! The feedback received from both exhibitors and visitors of the market, and the importance of and need for the show to be an annual event for the industry
