2026 Pinnacle Products Preview: What the Printing United Expo Will Showcase
The PRINTING United Expo, September 23-25 in Las Vegas, will feature technologies spanning apparel decoration, label and package printing, wide-format, commercial printing, and promotional products. The 2026 Pinnacle Award winners will be among the main attractions.
Durst P5 350 HS - Hybrid UV-LED at Scale
Durst's P5 350 HS won the UV/Latex Hybrid category. It runs at speeds up to 7,620 sqft/hr and accepts media up to 138 inches wide, handling both roll-fed and rigid board materials with up to six independent queues. Durst collected five Pinnacle awards this year.
Epson's Three-Award Sweep
Epson America earned Pinnacle recognition for three products. The SureColor S8170, a 64-inch solvent printer using PrecisionCore Micro TFP printheads, targets sign and graphics professionals. The SureColor F20070, a 76-inch dye-sublimation printer for high-volume textile production, features large-capacity ink systems. The SureColor F9570H offers six-color ink sets including fluorescent options.
What These Awards Signal
Hybrid UV-LED platforms handling both rigid and flexible media address demand for multi-application versatility. Dye-sublimation recognition highlights textiles as a growth segment beyond traditional paper and vinyl.
For buyers of printed products - from packaging to marketing materials - equipment capable of multiple substrate types at production speeds gives providers flexibility for a wider range of projects.
Broader Implications
The show also features new software for automation, color management, and production tracking. As hardware capabilities converge, the competitive difference is how efficiently shops manage jobs from file to delivery. Print buyers benefit when suppliers run streamlined operations with less waste and faster turnaround.
The product announcements provide a useful benchmark of where commercial and industrial printing technology stands in late 2026.
