Hybrid Services will debut the new Mimaki UJV300DTF-75 UV DTF press at inaugural edition of The Sign Show this September
Hybrid Services, the exclusive distributor for Mimaki in the UK and Ireland, has announced that it will debut the new Mimaki UJV300DTF-75 at The Sign Show 2025.
Scheduled to run for the first time in 2025, The Sign Show will take place alongside The Print Show from September 23rd to 25th at the NEC in Birmingham. The event is being billed as the UK’s “annual dedicated sign expo”, pledging to establish a show focused on signage solutions alongside print.
Located at the very entrance to the inaugural signage-focused exhibition on Stand S110, Hybrid’s 80sq m stand will showcase a varied line-up of Mimaki hardware across a range of technologies.
The new UJV300DTF-75 press is a compact UV direct-to-fabric (DTF) printer, developed to enable the easy creation of premium “positionable” print, bespoke branding, and personalisation.
The press is “one of Mimaki’s most anticipated product releases this year”, according to Hybrid. Using UV-curable ink printed directly to film, the printer enables production of full-colour graphics that can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces including bottles, boxes, metal, plastic, and wood.
The DTF printer is designed to operate with no cutting or weeding required, streamlining the process of producing detailed, high-impact graphics ideal for customisation and short-run applications.
Alongside the new UV DTF model, visitors will be able to explore a curated selection of Mimaki’s latest UV, solvent, and DTF printers, print-and-cut solutions and flatbed technologies.
Members of the Hybrid team will offer live demonstrations and expert advice throughout the show, helping customers answer questions about the entire Mimaki range.
Andy Gregory, sales director at Hybrid, says: “The Sign Show is a timely and important addition to the exhibition calendar.
“It gives the signage industry its own dedicated space while still benefiting from the crossover with The Print Show. We’re proud to be backing the event from day one – and excited to be bringing headline technology like the Mimaki UJV300DTF-75 to the UK and Ireland market for the first time.”
In a statement about the debut of the press, Hybrid adds: “As a long-standing supporter of The Print Show, Hybrid welcomes the co-location of the two events and sees it as a valuable opportunity for sign-makers, print providers, and display professionals to explore new innovations under one roof.”
