HP joins Print Show as SignLink Live grows

HP has become the latest key brand to commit to a stand at this year’s edition of The Print Show, which takes place this year co-located with brand new sign industry exhibition SignLink Live.

The digital print giant has taken a 140sq m stand near to the front of Hall 2, thus granting it a major presence at the event, which runs from October 11th to 13th at the International Centre in Telford.

HP joins the likes of Epson, Vivid Laminating, Kluge International, KBA, Premier Paper and Grafityp as leading industry names that have thrown their backing behind the show.

Co-located event SignLink Live has also continued to grow and is exceeding the organiser's expectations in its first year. The show focuses only on the sign manufacturing supply chain, and does not include wide-format print technology (which features heavily in The Print Show), so that everyone from LED suppliers to trade sign manufacturers have a chance to shine without being overshadowed my massive printers manufacturer or distributor stands.

Speaking about the news, event director Chris Davies praised HP’s decision to support The Print Show, explaining that the manufacturer can now look forward to welcoming visitors from all areas of the industry.

“To secure the backing of one of the global industry’s leading brands is a massive boost for the whole team,” says Davies.

“This will be the first time that HP will have it own stand at The Print Show and their presence at the event once again demonstrates the value that key brands place on the show.”

Luke Stoneham, senior sales executive for The Print Show, played a major part in securing HP for this year’s event and he paid tribute to what he described as a, “heavyweight of global print”.

Stoneham comments: “HP is a brand known not only within our own industry, but from the outside world as well, so to have them at our event is fantastic.

“HP represents a company that really is a heavyweight of global print and I look forward to working with them in the lead up to this year’s show.”
