EVENTS - / NEWS 32 email: editor@signlink.co.uk Issue 266 - August | September CMYUK smashes Print Show stand record CMYUK has set a new record at The Print Show by taking the largest stand in the history of the exhibition, with the company confirming it will showcase technology from a number of major manufacturers. Returning to the show after a one year absence, CMYUK will be positioned on a huge, L-shaped stand near the rear of Hall 1 – which will also host the co-located The Sign Show. With just under two months to go until the two events open their doors, CMYUK has secured some major real estate – something Sarah Neate, group marketing director at CMYUK, says will be key to the supplier and its plans for machinery demos. “For CMYUK, it is a valuable opportunity to show a selection of some of the printing, cutting, and finishing production technologies we represent alongside application software, workflow, and materials,” she says. “This year, we can demonstrate the strength of that joined-up approach even further. Visitors will be able to see how the right combination of printer hardware, finishing, and high-performance digital print materials can expand applications, improve production efficiency, and create more value for businesses within this dynamic industry.” 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 roll-toroll 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. Other features include dedicated sample area that will showcase a wide variety of material samples output from a range of technologies and applications. On top of this, CMYUK will use the event to introduce its new Sign and Graphics Materials portfolio. In addition, Sheppex Finance will be on hand to help customers explore funding options for their next digital wide-format production purchase. Event director Chris Davies adds: “I’m very pleased to confirm that CMYUK will be attending The Print and Sign Shows this September. As the UK’s largest independent supplier of large-format digital printers, cutting equipment, and end-to-end production solutions, CMYUK brings an unrivalled portfolio of world-class hardware and expertise to the event. “CMYUK will appeal to visitors from both the signage market and the wider print sector.” By Rob Fletcher ▲[L to R] Sarah Neate, group marketing director for CMYUK; Chris Davies, event director of The Print Show; and Sue Hayward, commercial director at CMYUK Graphtec makes an impact with Mutoh Graphtec, a leading manufacturer and supplier of imaging products, will exhibit off one of the larger stands at The Sign Show this year, with visitors able to view a range of printing technology including Mutoh machinery. As the UK’s official Mutoh distributor, The Sign Show will be the only opportunity this year for visitors to see Mutoh printers on display at a large-scale, national event. Graphtec will be located on Stand S245, at the heart of the event. Graphtec provides solvent and UV printers from Mutoh, with visitors able to learn about both these ranges at the show. “Mutoh’s large-format solvent printers are renowned in the printing industry for their reliability, precision, and versatility,” Graphtec says, adding: “These high-performance devices are designed to handle a wide variety of materials, including vinyl, canvas, paper, and more, with outputs that can range from small posters to massive billboards. “Meanwhile, Mutoh’s largeformat UV printers represent a significant milestone in the field of digital printing, combining state-of-the-art technology with environmental consciousness. “As a leading provider of highquality printers, we are committed to delivering exceptional performance; reliability; and innovation.” CPS to show ‘widest line-up to date’ China Print Supplies (CPS) will return to The Sign Show this year on a larger stand, with managing director Scott Clutton pledging to showcase the supplier’s “widest line-up” of solutions to date. Highlights on the CPS stand include the GZ HB18UV Pro Hybrid, the GZ Thunderjet AQ1084s, and a brand-new GZ1602 eco-solvent machine. Also being demonstrated are the Sinocolor FB0906s with camera, the Dlican Rotary and 3325 flatbed, the Hapond double sided printer, and the Kartech cutters. CPS is running an exclusive pre-show machinery offer for all products on its stand. Customers can order a machine being shown with an additional discount, see it live at the show, before having it installed at their premises in October. “We’ve grown our presence every year, and this year we’ve taken our biggest stand yet to properly showcase the full range of what we offer,” says Clutton, who goes on to say: “It reflects the demand we’re seeing from customers and gives us the space to demonstrate machines properly rather than just having them on display.” By Rob Fletcher By Rob Fletcher ▲Find China Print Supplies on Stand S420 in The Sign Show ▲Graphtec will showcase Mutoh technology on Stand S245 at The Sign Show
