Print service providers and sign-makers will be able to experience the latest innovations in screen and digital printing presses, consumables, workflow, and color management.

“For decades, FESPA exhibitions have been the foremost forums for experiencing the latest and greatest offered by manufacturers serving the specialist print industries,” FESPA CEO Neil Felton said. “As such, FESPA exhibition booths are famed for being an engaging blend of color and cutting-edge design, as exhibitors compete to capture the attention of visitors, and FESPA Global Print Expo 2020 will be no different.”
