Head to Las Vegas, NV between September 23 and 25, 2026 and stop by the Las Vegas Convention Center to experience PRINTING United. With over 800 exhibitors and more than 70 education sessions, the expo is where print service providers from all backgrounds can learn about the newest technologies. Innovation and connection are two of the biggest themes of the event. Both of which can be seen in the following exhibitor booths.

Colex Finishing Solutions, booth C1337, presents the Colex Sharpcut Flatbed Cutter, featuring advanced digital cutting capabilities for a range of materials and applications. Attendees can also experience Fotoba X/Y Cutters, known for delivering accurate, automated trimming. New this year, Colex features the NESCHEN laminator line, expanding its finishing portfolio with high-quality laminating solutions.

FASTENation, booth C1225, showcases adhesive and foam tape products designed for sign and graphics. Featured products include high-performance acrylic foam tapes, double-coated tapes, mounting tapes, transfer adhesives, and specialty foam tapes for sign fabrication, dimensional letters, displays, and graphic installations. Visitors also learn how FASTENation helps manufacturers improve production efficiency through custom converting capabilities tailored to customer applications.

Fluid Color, booth C531, exhibits the RF84 HG flatbed printer, which prints braille, textured signage, and flat graphics with a Z-axis print height of up to 19.6 inches, giving customers the ability to produce dimensional, ADA-compliant work alongside standard flat output on one machine. The ZH126 hybrid printer delivers fast, high-volume production with the versatility to run both rigid and flexible substrates.

Infigo, booth N7149, offers a redefined platform story built around three pillars—storefront, workflow, and intelligence. Visitors can see live demonstrations of Infigo’s web to print storefront capabilities, workflow automation tools that eliminate manual order handling, and the intelligence layer that surfaces business insight from print operations data. This year’s centerpiece is the introduction of AI capabilities integrated into different areas of the platform.

Inkcups, booth C1215, demonstrates the recently launched Helix High Throw, engineered to decorate complex cylindrical products with exceptional print quality, including drinkware with removable handles, footballs, and bowls. Visitors can also see the X5-T High Throw, designed for printing on challenging flat and irregular surfaces. Additionally, Inkcups showcases the Helix ONE benchtop cylindrical printer, the versatile B100 and 2200-PS pad printing systems, and the Cobalt Edge laser plate engraver.

Kernow North America, booth C1873, launches KernowJet Interiors, a new range of customizable printable wallcoverings featuring five unique finishes for modern interiors. Designed to deliver outstanding print quality, durability, and dimensional stability, the range includes both a fully recyclable option and an easy-to-remove adhesive solution. Visitors can also discover new protective overlaminate and dry erase film for interior applications and a new refined satin finish backlit media.

Koenig & Bauer Kammann, booth N5749, promotes its decoration equipment. Kammann machines are designed to decorate not only cylindrical articles but all shapes including handled ware, with sustained output ranging from eight to 120 parts per minute. The models start with the K4 for quick change overs, and on the other end of the spectrum is the K15 digital platform for high output. Kammann has a newer K15 model designed for higher speeds on round articles only.

Onyx Graphics, booth N6200, showcases ONYX Align, a cloud-based print shop management software that helps centralize operations from quoting to delivery, with tools for job tracking, QuickBooks Online integration, customizable workflows, and real-time profit visibility. Visitors can also learn about ONYX 25, the latest version of the company’s RIP software built to support smarter automation.

Orbus, booth C2761, highlights its expanded grand format printing capabilities, driven by the recent addition of the 16-foot Durst P5 500 TEX iSub printer, which reduces the need for seams and enables brands to create larger, more impactful visual experiences. Additionally, its new EverSpan dye-sublimated fabric collection is an ideal solution for grand format exhibits, events, and retail environments.

swissQprint, booth C1737, exhibits its engineering expertise. A deadline doesn’t move just because a printer does. When equipment goes down mid-run, the job nor the client don’t wait, and the shop absorbs the cost. 90 percent of swissQprint devices built ten or more years ago are still running in daily production. At the booth, visitors can see that engineering up close, in the Kudu flatbed printer and the Karibu 2 roll-to-roll printer. Both run live with real production samples across textiles, backlit graphics, and packaging. Walk through the application zones, see what each machine produces, and talk with swissQprint experts.
