    I am thinking of going to this, would like to see some machines like direct to garment in action and i would like to see if there is any clothing suppliers there with samples as i always have trouble finding specific types of garments. Not sure if clothing suppliers have stands with sample garments on, so if anybody has been before and knows i would be interested to hear.

    Wouldn’t touch DTG unless I had £30k to spare, all the starting range ones are poop and thats me being nice

    yeah BTC and Prestige will be there with nearly all the range they sell, also individual companies will be showcasing there garments that are available at BTC and such

    It’s good to see what’s on offer and see what’s not worth touching

    What day you planning on going?

    Nah i wouldn’t buy one, couldn’t afford it first of all, and wouldn’t have space. I just wanted to see what stage the technology was at and capabilities etc, just for reference when it comes to subbing out printing.

    I would rather learn to screen print and get that set up at the moment than DTG but i don’t have space for that either!

    Not sure about days yet,

    Thanks for the info on the suppliers, sounds like it will be worth going

    Cheers

    John, excuse my ignorance but will a lot of these companies not be at the sign show in a couple of months time??
    With all the cross overs these days I would have thought so but as I know next to nothing about garment printing I have no real idea.

    Yes Martin this is true but I feel that the smaller companies of great use ignore SignUK

    SignUK is mostly the bigger machines and you rairly see the smaller campaines/machines attending

    Also I know at P&P I can take in all the info going around… SignUK I watch it from the bar :lol1:

    I’ll attend both BTW !!! haha

    I’ll be more than likely going on the Monday, an I’ll have one or two of my Directors with me so I’ll make sure they bring the cheque book! 😀

    Look forward to meeting any of you there and making some new contacts
