Soyang Europe says it has an extensive offering for visitors to the show

Hybrid Services, the exclusive UK and Irish distributor of industry giant Mimaki, will have a host of new kit on show at the event in order to create as much interest as possible. 

One such product that will be demonstrated is the new Mimaki SUV, with the device due to make its UK domestic debut at the show.

John de la Roche, Hybrid's national sales manager, comments: “It's a printer that really has to be seen to be fully appreciated, so we're looking forward to visitors getting up close with the extraordinary print from the Mimaki SUV at Sign and Digital UK."

The event will also see the launch of the Mimaki UJV500 roll-to-roll UV printer, which measures in at 1.6m in width and features LED curing.

A host of other kit across Mimaki’s full range will also be on show, with visitors able to view devices such as flatbed UV printers, and outdoor durable print and cut machines.

Elsewhere, printable media specialist Soyang Europe will also be in attendance and plans to use the show as a platform for the Eureopan debut of two new products.  

G-Floor, a flexible PVC substrate capable of being printed in the underside using UV or solvent inks on a grand-format printer, will be accompanied by AlumiGraphics, an aluminium foil base material that firm claims will conform to any surface it is applied to.

The firm also plans to showcase its existing range of printable media, covering areas such as banner and mesh materials, as well as textiles and wallcoverings.

Meanwhile, finishing specialist Friedheim International has upped the ante ahead of the event by enlarging its equipment portfolio with the addition of a new supplier in the Vega Group.

As a result, Friedheim will expand its equipment offering to include a range of Italian folding, and gluing machines for producing solid and corrugated board boxes of various sizes and thicknesses.

Says Mark Bristow, managing director of Friedheim, explains: “The addition of Vega and its excellent and diverse product range is a clear indication of how seriously Friedheim views its involvement across all areas of finishing in commercial and digital print, as well as packaging and converting.”
