RECAP ISA EXPO ORLANDO 2026
Live Production That Print Shops Can Trust
At the ISA International Sign Expo 2026, STS Inks focused on one thing, showing real production in action.
Instead of static displays, our booth was built around complete workflows. Attendees didn’t just see equipment, they saw how everything connects from start to finish.
From DTF to UV to cutting and heat application, every step was running live.
