Mike Wozny’s Trend Theater Talk On Soft Signage
If you want to expand into printing on textiles, you do not want to miss Mike Wozny’s talk. The growing popularity of textile-based printing does not show signs of slowing, and the demand for soft signage is continually growing, especially for use in trade shows, exhibits, and retail applications including POPs.
Soft signage, also known as SEG frames, presents a tremendous opportunity for printers and puts the days of printing signage on PVC, vinyl, and paper behind us. Here are three advantages:
Soft signs are:
- Transportable
- Durable
- Cost-effective to create
Mike Wozny is the Senior Product Manager at EFI. He will present Growth Opportunities and Big Profit in Soft Signage on May 14, 11:30-12:00.

Wrapmasters: Think Beyond Cars
It’s exciting and educational and not just for car-wrapping pros.
Experts from around the world will go head-to-head to compete for the FESPA World Wrap Master 2019 crown. While they reveal their magic, you can learn about tools and problem-solving tricks that will help you improve your own car-wrapping service to help you earn more profit per job.
But wrapping goes beyond cars.
