At The Print Show and The Sign Show 2026, we'll demonstrate how Epson technology helps businesses enter new markets, improve efficiency and deliver exceptional quality across a wide range of applications."

Expanding opportunities with UV printing

Taking centre stage will be the SureColor V4000, Epson’s compact A1+ UV flatbed printer, designed to make UV production accessible to a broader range of print providers. The printer enables high-quality output on a wide variety of rigid materials and products, supporting applications such as promotional merchandise, personalised gifts, photo products, packaging mock-ups and short-run signage.

Epson will also highlight the capabilities of the SureColor V7000 UV flatbed printer, demonstrating how businesses can expand into larger-format applications, including retail décor, exhibition graphics, point-of-sale materials, packaging prototypes and premium signage. Through printed samples and demonstrations, visitors will see how both platforms support customised and commercial production requirements.

Supporting growth in garment decoration

Epson’s latest industrial Direct-To-Film solution, the SureColor G9000, will demonstrate the opportunities available in customised apparel and garment decoration. Built for high volume production, the SureColor G9000 produces vibrant and durable transfers for a wide range of textile applications and supports everything from fashion and sportswear to promotional clothing and workwear.

With demand for short-run and personalised production continuing to grow, Epson will show how DTFilm technology can help businesses deliver flexible, profitable services while maintaining consistent quality. For those looking for a compact Direct-To-Film printer, the SC-G6000 will be running alongside, great for environments where space is limited whilst ensuring consistent reliability even in demanding production environments.

Accessible dye-sublimation production

For visitors interested in soft signage, customised merchandise and promotional products, Epson and Nova Chrome will showcase the new SureColor F300 on the stand P240. This is the latest compact A3 dye-sublimation printer designed as an accessible entry point into professional production. Applications include mugs, gifts, photo products, sports accessories and promotional items. Demonstrations throughout the show will highlight the versatility of dye-sublimation technology for personalisation and short-run manufacturing.

The widest range for signage

At The Print Show and The Sign Show Birmingham, Epson will also showcase one of its broadest signage portfolios. Visitors can explore the SureColor S9100, eco-solvent roll-to-roll signage printer, which offers enhanced speed, colour performance and versatility for demanding signage applications. Together, these solutions demonstrate Epson’s commitment to reliable, high-impact signage production across a wide range of markets.
