Epson UK will host a three-day event at its Innovation Centre in Lutterworth in collaboration with Fiery, which Epson recently acquired
Print press manufacturer, Epson, has announced details of its ‘Think Big, Print Big’ open day, taking place on June 24th to 26th at the Epson Innovation Centre in Lutterworth, Leicestershire.
The three-day event, open to all UK print service providers, is running in collaboration with Fiery, provider of digital front ends (DFEs) and workflow solutions for the print industry.
The open day event promises to showcase the commercial benefits offered by Epson and Fiery across wide-format textile, signage, label, photo, and personalisation printing solutions, all under one roof.
Live demonstrations of the latest Epson wide-format and textile printers will run alongside insights from Fiery experts on colour control and workflow automation.
The co-collaborated event follows Epson’s acquisition of Fiery last year, in a transaction valued at approximately $591m (£443m) at time of purchase.
A number of partners will also be on hand to demonstrate solutions to attendees. This includes a range of finishing solutions from Vivid Laminating Technologies, a variety of substrates from Premier Paper, and flexible finance options from Compass Business Finance.
Phil McMullin, head of sales at Epson UK, says: “With Epson’s recent acquisition of Fiery, we’re combining industry-leading print hardware with world-class RIP, workflow, and colour management solutions. This set of open days is a powerful opportunity for print professionals to see how Epson and Fiery together can unlock smarter workflows, higher margins, and stunning output.”
The new Innovation Centre was officially opened earlier this year after Epson outgrew its previous centre at Hemel Hempstead. The new space allows the company to showcase its various print, textile, photography, and industrial solutions to customers from an accessible central location near to the M1.
Epson celebrated the opening of its new Innovation Centre in Leicestershire in February with the launch of its first ever Textile Academy.
Epson will exhibit at this year's edition of The Print Show at the NEC Birmingham, presenting a wide range of its latest solution at its 80sq m stand.
Announcing its participation in The Print Show 2025 on LinkedIn, Phil McMullin said: "Get the dates into your diary now. The floor plan is already looking like a greatest hits of the big manufacturers. If you are considering investing in '25 or '26 you have to be there."
