On this week’s Wide-Format Weekly: Recapping ISA’s Expo, considerations for diversification, Kornit acquires PrintFactory, and get ready for Mondays with Marco, Season Two. Great stuff, all for you!

The 2026 ISA International Sign Expo included innovative signage solutions, new technology introductions, and decent springtime energy. Wide-Format Impressions spent two days exploring, and offers its ISA "hot takes."

The International Sign Association’s International Sign Expo, held last week in Orlando, Florida, seemed to be quite successful. The energy was positive, aisles and booths we busy, and new equipment was introduced.

We're coming to you from the ISA show floor; how wide-format PSPs a breaking into the decor space; Toni McQuilken joins The Broadcast to discuss her interview series about producing and installing graphics for Super Bowl 60; we take a look back at EFI's Ignite event; and Rick Scrimger, CEO at 2ND SHIFT talks key decision points for those considering purpose-built versus all-around wide-format printers.

At Super Bowl 60, the team at Wasserman Live undertook the massive task of producing, managing, and installing graphics for the event. This episode features Toni McQuilken of NAPCO Media highlighting what it took to get the job done.

Rick Scrimger, CEO at 2ND SHIFT speaks with Wide-format Impressions' Dan Marx about key decision points for those considering purpose-built versus all-around wide-format printers.

Though the origins of the phrase “May you live in interesting times” are murky, there is no doubt it endures, wielding triumph and tragedy like a double-edged sword. And we, today, certainly live in interesting times, as illustrated by the story of the 2025 acquisition of bluemedia by Wasserman, an events and talent management agency.

On this week’s episode: The experiences of women journalists in printing, inclusion in the annual WFI150 list, exploring wide-format innovation, and applying to attend this year’s Wide-format Summit. Join us!

Adriane Harrison, Denise Gustavson, Gabby Houck, and Toni McQuilken discuss their experiences as women covering an often male-dominated industry, and share how the industry has changed.

Sustainability has become a part of doing business. And, whether efforts to become more sustainable are kicked off by environmental commitments, continuous improvement efforts, or more recently, mandates, those companies undertaking efforts see benefits.
