Aurora Specialty Textiles Group will play a major role at several of the booths at SGIA Expo 2018, in addition to hosting visitors at its own booth on the main floor. The exhibition takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV, from 18-20 October.

Several major digital printer manufacturers and finishing equipment brands will use Aurora's printable textiles – including Aurora’s new fully-expanded, Expressions canvas line – to demonstrate their newest advanced printing and finishing technologies on the convention floor.

“Nearly anywhere you turn at SGIA 2018, you'll see Aurora’s printable textiles at work demonstrating the latest equipment technologies, including new equipment from several of the show’s Platinum and Gold sponsors,” the company reports.

At HP booths, 120” wide Expressions Matte Canvas will be used to demonstrate HP’s Latex 3600 printer and Expressions 60” wide Gloss Canvas and 60” wide Expressions Décor Semi-Gloss Canvas will be used on the HP Latex 570.
