The event, which will take place from 9am to 4pm on 20 November, will see DPS Group display a range of kit at its newly opened Beckenham, Kent-based premises.

Machines on show will include the 1.1m SureColor SC-P8000 printer, which is aimed at the professional photo, fine art and proofing markets. The devices were announced in September and made commercially available earlier this month.

Also on display will be the SureColor SC-F2000 t-shirt/direct to garment printer, which can print on a range of items such as t-shirts, caps and fabric bags up to 25mm and offers resolutions up to 1,400dpi.

The firm will also show the SC-P800 printer, which is designed for professional use in the studio, and the SureLab SL-D700 small-format and panoramic printer.

DPS Group director Maneesh Patel said: "We're looking forward to welcoming all kinds of print businesses to try out new Epson products in an informal environment. A number of experts from Epson and DPS Group will be on hand to demonstrate how Epson's new printer technology can help their business. 

"We expect the brand new Epson SureColor SC-P8000 printer to be our most popular printer on the day, as the large-format P-series has just launched and this is one of the first opportunities for end-users to see one in action.

"The SC-F2000 direct to garment printer will also be a popular product as it is an interesting bolt-on profit opportunity for traditional print companies."
