Every Spring the team at printMAX leave the Hampshire countryside for the bright lights of Birmingham, most of the large format print industry joins them. Why? Sign and Digital UK!

Each year the three day event pulls in most major distributors and suppliers to exhibit, thousands of signmakers, printers and designers pour through the doors of the NEC to take a look at what’s on offer.

This year is no different, at the slightly earlier date of 27th-29th March the NEC will play host to one of the key events in the UK large format print calendar and for the fourth year running printMAX will be there.

There are so many opportunities to be taken at the exhibition. It’s a great way for members of the large format print industry to view the latest and developing technology on offer. The Roland offering this year will be the award winning VersaUV technology, also visible on the printMAX stand.

Whilst many visitors will attend purely to get a grasp of the most recent technology offerings, the networking opportunities made available through visiting are also great. Not only can visitors meet suppliers and industry spokespeople, meet ups from online communities and forums are also accessible, allowing a chance to put a name to a face and make great, new business contacts. If you stop by stand F30 this year, not only will you get a chance to meet the printMAX team members but also Steve Hart (printer – Redd Hart Graphics) and a Roland Account Manager.

Along with networking, attending Sign UK can really benefit a visitor’s business from the education perspective. With countless seminars and workshops there really is an opportunity to leave having learnt something new!

Above all, a great attraction for attendees are the fantastic show deals on offer. Many suppliers will have worked out some attractive prices only available through Sign UK that you would be crazy to miss out on. The promotions on offer can also be really helpful, sometimes the prizes have nothing to do with print business and are more for personal use, but some can benefit a business, printMAX are again offering a year’s subscription to istockMAX (the online image resource library) and the printMAX community – giving the winner a huge saving on image purchasing over the following 12 months.

With Sign UK only a matter of days away now it would be fantastic to see as many members from the industry there as possible. Helping print thrive and displaying the growth in the industry it’s an event not to be missed.
