PRINTING United Alliance, the most comprehensive printing and graphic arts association in North America, and event partner Empire Screen Printing, a leading manufacturer of screen-printed products; today announced that event registration is now open.

The popular Partners in Printing Expo has grown to a must-attend industry event held every two years offering even more education spanning the hottest topics and trends across the entire printing industry, and exclusive Empire plant tours open to all attendees, including other printers.

“The Partners in Printing Expo is designed to strengthen the printing industry as a whole so that all involved can benefit,” said Doug Billings, VP of Sales and Marketing at Empire Screen Printing. “From industrial to commercial printing, we all must work together to adapt to changing technology, improve sustainability, and learn from one another to keep the industry vibrant and strong.

“The past year has been difficult for small businesses and we hope that, by continuing to offer opportunities for education, networking, and innovation; Partners in Printing will fully support ways in which we can continue to move forward together as an industry.”
