Business Management - Industry Trends

On Oct. 19 during PRINTING United Expo, folks interested in digital textile printing — direct-to-garment and direct-to-fabric — gathered for the first-ever Apparelist Forum. The hour-and-a-half event featured lunch, education from Kornit, and a panel discussion on the opportunities and “whys” of digital printing.

The wide-format printing industry is filled with talented, hardworking professionals who help bring visual communications to life. But many in this industry also find time to give back to others through charitable acts, volunteer work, and community service. We want to hear your stories of philanthropy and goodwill.

It's that time of year again, it's time to meet the Wide-format Innovators for 2023! This year, Wide-format Impressions highlighted four printers from around the country to highlight their innovations in things like technology, graphic installation, sustainability, and more.

Leading printers explore the 30 wide-format trends and emerging opportunities you can’t afford to ignore as technologies, applications, and customer expectations evolve.
