The latest technology from manufacturers including Mimaki, Epson and Resolute is set to be showcased at The Print Show and The Sign Show in September.
From garment printing to wide-format printing, the event from 23 to 25 September at the NEC in Birmingham will feature several UK debuts for equipment across print and signage.
Highlights for garment decorators include a stand bringing together direct-to-film (DTF) and digital textile print specialist Resolute with clothing distributor Ralawise.
Resolute will display its entry-level CraftyJet printer as well as the R-Jet Pro DTF V4i printer for medium-sized operations. Also on show will be the R-Jet Pro DTF UVi and R-Jet Pro DTF UV61.
Resolute has also promised that it will be demonstrating an “all-new solution for larger-scale printers”.
Visitors will see how DTF prints can be used across the Ralawise range of brands which includes Nimbus, Stanley/Stella and B&C.
Martin Lowe, head of marketing at Resolute, said: “Our partnership means that visitors to Stand P510 can access everything they need to take advantage of with one of the hottest technologies in the industry, as well as the latest clothing styles, all in one place.”
Resolute will be running a competition throughout The Print Show to discover “the UK’s fastest DTF operator”. Those interested can fill in a form on the Resolute website and select a time slot to take part at the show.
The winner will receive a weekend for two at a top UK spa hotel and take away the Resolute Auto DTF UK trophy.
With limited places available, early booking is recommended. The challenge will run for 10 minutes and will all take place on the Resolute stand.
Resolute will announce the winner at 2pm on 25 September, the final day of the show. If the winner is not present, Resolute will contact them directly after the event has finished.
Martin added: “Whether you’re looking to elevate your product offering, explore sustainable fashion solutions or simply stay ahead of trends, stand P510 is a must-visit at this year’s show.”
