Engineered Printing Solutions (EPS) will showcase one of the widest ranges of direct-to-object (DTO) printing technologies at PRINTING United Expo, with a focus on helping brands and manufacturers identify their ideal product printing solution.
Visitors to booth C2137 will have the opportunity to compare decoration technologies side by side, including pad printing, single-pass inkjet, multi-pass inkjet, and robotic printing solutions. A highlight will be the XD-R robotic printing system, featuring automated product handling and decoration, alongside the KP08 pad printer, XD Series single-pass printer and multi-pass DTO platform.

Throughout the show, EPS’s machines will run a wide variety of live samples to demonstrate how the different decoration technologies can be matched to specific production requirements. Attendees will see products including poker chips, golf balls and bottle openers alongside industrial safety signage, pharmaceutical caps and plastic food packaging, providing a practical comparison of print quality, throughput, automation potential and substrate compatibility.
"Every application has different requirements for throughput, image quality, substrate compatibility and automation," said Kenneth Stack, Executive Chairman at EPS. "PRINTING United provides an excellent opportunity for manufacturers to compare technologies and see how pad printing, single-pass inkjet, multi-pass inkjet and robotic systems can each play a role in meeting production goals."
EPS’s robotic printing system reflects the growing demand from manufacturers for automated solutions that reduce dependence on manual labor, improve throughput, minimize operator intervention, and deliver consistent, repeatable output. In line with these trends, the team will be able to share and discuss the company's recent white paper, The Shift in Direct-to-Object Printing, which shows how single-pass UV inkjet technology can improve ROI through greater labor efficiency, lower setup costs, and faster payback in suitable applications.
With print systems designed for everything from promotional products and sporting goods to industrial parts, packaging and medical components, EPS's presence at PRINTING United will offer manufacturers one of the broadest opportunities at the show to evaluate DTO printing technologies, automated workflows and robotic production solutions.
"Whether visitors are producing promotional products, industrial components, packaging or medical devices, we want them to leave with a clearer understanding of which technology is right for their application," Stack added. "By bringing multiple print technologies together in one place, we're making it easier to compare the benefits of traditional and digital processes and to see where DTO printing can deliver the greatest impact."
