PRINTING United Expo

Agfa (Booth 8242) is bringing several inkjet engines and software solutions to PRINTING United. Its systems let users print a variety of eye-popping displays, point-of-purchase materials, billboards, vehicle graphics, and backlit signage up to 125" wide.

SignCraft Solutions upgraded its production line with a SmartShop MT from Laguna Tools (Booth 8050).

SGIA is offering PRINTERLink, a powerful online community platform established to share industry information, ideas, and best practices. PRINTERLink is just one of the association’s many benefits for the printing community.

Apparel is one of the most diverse community segments SGIA and PRINTING United serve. This is a big show, and there are some technologies in the exposition hall that clearly are not for those of us in the clothing vertical. Need a starting point? Look no further: Make digital apparel solutions the focus of your day.

The Affiliates of the Printing Industry’s (Booth 12064) mission is to provide business relationships, expertise, and education to ensure the strength and profitability of member companies in the graphics, print, and digital communications industries in the United States and Canada.

TELUS hosted an art competition among local artists, and the winning entry was featured as a huge wall mural on the side of the TELUS Grand Prairie office building. Once the winning artwork was chosen, TELUS partnered with Epic Imaging based in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia to take care of the rest.

As part of their continual improvement process, PRINT NW implemented Agfa’s PressTune five months ago.

Faced with increasing demand for faster turnaround times, shorter run lengths, more promotions, and late-stage content changes, Zumbiel developed a plan: integrate a wide-web flexo press with a production inkjet KODAK PROSPER 6000S Hybrid Press in a single web path.

When it comes to getting the most out of your PRINTING United experience in the Apparel & Functional neighborhood, there are a few key things to keep in mind.

With the HP T240 Digital Inkjet Web Press running at speeds of up to 500 fpm, Design Distributors needed to upgrade its finishing to keep up. “The existing finishing lines just weren’t fast enough,” Mike Glanzman, VP of operations. “We had to have the absolute fastest finishing equipment available. That meant MBO.”
