The Print Show and The Sign Show are “vibrant” events that are “critical” for the UK market, according to leading manufacturer Epson, which recently signed up to exhibit at the 2026 event.
While a long-term supporter of The Print Show, Epson will switch to The Sign Show section of the hall for the 2026 event, with the aim of capturing attention from visitors to both shows.
As was the case in 2025, The Sign Show and The Print Show will again run as co-located events, offering visitors with interests across both the sign and print markets to view the latest in both sectors.
Epson is one of many exhibitors that will benefit from this approach, with its solutions in place in many print and sign companies across the UK. Phil McMullin, head of sales for commercial and industrial at Epson UK, said the co-location presents the manufacturer with the ideal opportunity to connect with a wide range of existing and new customers.
“The Epson print offering is a very broad church these days, encompassing a wide range of print applications including market leading signage printers,” McMullin said. “We needed more floor space to show off new products and chose a stand effectively straddling the two shows.
“Digital technology has blurred so many lines in the print industry that we don’t really see these shows as separate.”
McMullin went on to say that exhibitions like The Print Show and The Sign Show are the best opportunity for industry members to view the latest solutions in-person. With this in mind, he said anyone with interests in print or sign should view next year’s co-located events as a must-attend.
“We believe Epson print quality is the best on offer, so we want potential customers to see our printers in production,” McMullin said. “UK printers and sign-makers typically do not travel in numbers to European shows, so it’s critically important to have a vibrant and relevant, UK-based tradeshow.
“We also believe that there is only space for one expo to showcase the UK print and sign industry. If you are in the business of making signs or print to sell, then The Print Show and The Sign Show provide an opportunity to investigate new profitable revenue streams an keep up-to-date with technology.”
