PRINTING United Expo 2026 Preview: AGP Brings DTF, UV DTF & UV Flatbed Printers to Booth C2897

North America's Biggest Printing Show Returns to Las Vegas This September

Every fall, the custom apparel and digital printing world turns its attention to one place: the Las Vegas Convention Center. As North America's largest and most comprehensive printing industry event, PRINTING United Expo is where new technology debuts, new equipment launches, and print shop owners, distributors, and manufacturers meet face to face on the show floor.

In 2026, the show returns bigger than ever. AGP will bring its full lineup of DTF printers, UV DTF printers, UV flatbed printers, and complete production-line equipment to meet the North American market in person at Booth C2897.

Event Details at a Glance

If you're planning your show-floor route, write down Booth C2897 — the AGP team will be on-site for the full three days of the event.

What Will AGP Showcase at Booth C2897?

This year's exhibit focuses on two core production categories: custom apparel decoration and hard-substrate printing, spanning the full range from entry-level to industrial-grade equipment.

DTF Printers

A complete line of Direct-to-Film printers built for garment and textile decoration, from entry-level machines to high-volume industrial models — suited to everyone from solo studios to scaling production floors.

UV Flatbed Printers

UV flatbed equipment for rigid substrates including glass, metal, acrylic, and wood, with instant UV curing and support for special finishes like embossed textures and spot varnish.

UV DTF Film & Consumables

UV DTF film and related consumables designed for crystal labels, die-cut stickers, and curved-surface applications such as tumblers and bottles.

Who Should Visit Booth C2897?

Whatever stage your business is at, there's a reason to stop by:

• New apparel decoration studios evaluating DTF for the first time and wanting to see the full workflow in action

• Established print shop owners planning to expand capacity or add UV/UV DTF production lines

• Distributors and resellers across North America scouting new equipment lines to carry

• Shops transitioning from DTG or screen printing who want a firsthand look at DTF's cost and efficiency advantages

Live equipment demonstrations will run throughout the show, and the AGP team will be on-site all three days to talk through equipment selection, production-line setup, and capacity planning.

2026 DTF & UV Printing Trends Worth Watching

Heading into 2026, direct-to-film and UV printing remain among the fastest-growing segments in custom apparel and personalized print. Industry observers consistently point to DTF's relatively low startup cost and quick payback period as key drivers behind its continued adoption among small and mid-sized print shops. At the same time, UV flatbed and UV DTF technologies keep gaining ground in gifting, signage, and packaging decoration thanks to their versatility across rigid materials — metal, acrylic, glass, leather, and more.

For shop owners still comparing equipment, a live trade show like PRINTING United Expo remains the most direct way to compare machines side by side, evaluate real print output, and gauge a manufacturer's support capability — something a spec sheet alone can't replace.
