Highlights on the CMYUK stand will include the EFI VUTEk M3h UV LED hybrid printer, the successor to the popular EFI VUTEk GS hybrid platform. Alongside this will be the Canon Colorado M5W modular rollto-roll UVgel printer that allows businesses to configure and expand their production capabilities in line with their growing needs. Printing equipment will be complemented by Neolt finishing technology, including the Neolt XY Matic Trim Plus, and Neolt laminators. The stand will also include demonstrations of Prep It and ONYX RIP software, offering visitors greater insight into workflow, file preparation, and production control. Completing our pre-show round-up is Venture Banners, with co-founder and director Scott Conway revealing that the company will be raising awareness of new textile-based products that have been released over the past 18 months. Among these are AirMesh Polyester and Fabric Mesh Polyester materials, as well as pop-out banners. “Unsurprisingly, textile displays continue to be the fastest-growing area of the market for us, so we’re looking forward to showcasing our expanding range of textile solutions,” he says, adding: “On Stand P620, visitors will be able to explore products ranging from exhibition displays and backdrops through to flags and soft signage products such as stretch fabric displays and SEG lightbox displays. “One of the best things about showing off our range in person is that visitors can see firsthand the impressive image quality possible, as well as the ease of assembly, disassembly, and transportation of these products.” The message is clear: innovation is no longer just about faster machines or higher output, but about helping print businesses diversify, improving efficiency, and unlocking new revenue opportunities. Whether visitors are investing in new technology, exploring emerging applications, or simply seeking fresh ideas, The Print Show promises to offer valuable insight, practical inspiration, and plenty of reasons to look to the future with confidence. The aim is not just to show machines, but to show how those machines fit into modern print and sign businesses
