Energy and excitement of the first day of PRINTING United Expo 2025 were certainly some competition for the ‘most magical place on earth, such as the Disney Land’. Thousands of Attendees eagerly arrived at the Orange County Convention Center yesterday morning, ready to get out and walk the Expo show floor, which this year boasts over 820 vendors and exhibitors. And to really wake everyone up, the show began with a performance from Freedom High School’s “Pride of the Patriots” Marching Band & Color Guard.
Day one of the Expo was jam-packed with educational sessions, new equipment releases, live demos, and more. Some Expo-goers got an early start with a research breakfast presented by the Alliance Insights team. Nathan Safran, vice president of research, and Principal Analyst Lisa Cross led the discussion and also showed an insightful video from PRINTING United Alliance Chief Economist, Andy Paparozzi, on the State of the Industry research report sponsored by Canon U.S.A. that will be published next month. Some major names like EPSON, FUJIFILM and Vanguard all unveiled brand new equipment on day one. EPSON dropped its new SureColor S8170 solvent printer – a continuation of the popular SureColor S-Series line.
