LIVE from PRINTING United- 10/22, 5:00 p.m. That’s a wrap on Day One, but we’re just getting started! Check back tomorrow for our Day Two coverage, where we’ll dive into even more product breakthroughs, big ideas, and surprises from the show floor. LIVE from PRINTING United- 10/22, 2:30 p.m. Star Attraction: Epson’s MakeON Studio experience stole the show - a fully interactive space where attendees could design and print their own one-of-a-kind item. From T-shirts and lens cloths to tumblers and 8×10 photos, guests explored Epson’s full range of printers, inks, and substrates in action, turning creativity into tangible keepsakes. Experience Factor: The booth was buzzing with energy, set up like a stylish retail boutique that showcased the possibilities of personalization. Attendees stepped up to design stations, created custom graphics, and watched their items come to life - all within minutes. It was a perfect blend of creativity, technology, and instant gratification. Why It Matters:

At LexJet, we’re elevating the art of display signage with the newest addition to our Elements Portfolio- a curated collection of premium polyester display fabrics. Crafted for print professionals who demand both beauty and performance, these fabrics bring unmatched color, texture, and flexibility to every display.

Canon’s Colorado M-series has always stood out for its modular architecture and UVgel performance. But since the enhancements like FLXture, a jumbo roll interface kit, and expanded upgrade paths, it’s no longer just modular, it’s a platform of opportunity. Whether you already own an M-series or you’re considering adding one, these upgrades expand what’s possible for your print business.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to expand your business into UV-DTF, that time is now. LexJet is proud to introduce the Mimaki UJV300DTF-75 printer- a complete, OEM-backed UV-DTF system designed to help you jump in with confidence. Designed for businesses looking to expand their product offerings, UV-DTF lets you produce vibrant, durable transfers on a variety of rigid substrates- perfect for everything from promotional products to custom gifts.

Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is transforming custom apparel production, allowing shops to transfer bold, durable, full-color designs onto everything from T-shirts and hoodies to uniforms and team gear. However, while the technology is exciting, one of the biggest challenges customers face is building a reliable and compatible system.

If you’ve ever stared at a row of different film rolls, wondering which one will work best for that tricky job, you know the struggle. Walls, windows, vehicles- every surface has its quirks, and choosing the right media can feel like a guessing game. That’s where Arlon’s DPF 4600GLX/MLX comes in. Think of it as your Swiss Army knife of films: versatile, reliable, and ready for just about anything.

Earlier this year, we introduced Vanessa Joy, acclaimed photographer and Canon Explorer of Light, whose work blends creativity, storytelling, and purpose. When we first highlighted her collaboration with Canon, Hahnemühle, and LexJet’s Elements media, we saw her creative vision and commitment to excellence. Her Maasai Mara Project- a mission to raise awareness and funds for clean water initiatives in Kenyan villages- showcased her dedication to impactful storytelling through photography. Now, with a Canon printer installed in her home studio, Vanessa has taken her craft and business to the next level, seamlessly integrating in-house printing into her workflow.

Epson is changing the game with the release of the S-Series printers- the SureColor® S7170 and S9170. These next-generation machines are engineered for today’s print professionals, delivering faster speeds, expanded media capabilities, and the precision you need to produce stunning signage. Whether you’re looking to scale up your outdoor graphics production or elevate color-critical projects, the S-Series represents a leap forward from the previous models.

Canon once again raises the bar with the Colorado XL-series, the latest 3.4-meter hybrid printer designed to change what print shops can offer- and how quickly they can deliver. Built to handle nearly any application, the XL-series combines versatility, speed, and profitability in one innovative system.

When it comes to vehicle wraps, the combination of Arlon SLX+ Cast Wrap and Series 3210 overlaminate offers unparalleled performance and durability. Whether you're wrapping a fleet of trucks or a single vehicle, this duo ensures your graphics stand out and stay protected.
