Tuesday 26. September 2023 - Something that has made The Print Show popular over the years has been the range of solutions and technologies on offer for all corners of the print industry. We highlight the media and consumable options visitors can experience at the 2023 event.

There are a number of media and consumable solutions being shown at The Print Show this year

Matthew Painter, managing director of Presco explains: “We decided to sign up for The Print Show 2023 with more space this year due to the great interaction we had last year with customers and newcomers to Presco and Guarantape tapes and adhesives, but also to give away lots more free gifts as this made all visitors to our stand pretty happy!
