On March 19, 2026, the Spring edition of the China Central Sign Show opened with great fanfare at the Zhengzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center. As one of the industry's flagship events right after the Chinese New Year break, HONGSAM made a strong showing at booth 1C-101, bringing its flagship innovation: the Hong-Jet®
water-based eco-friendly latex printing solution. The expo drew advertising professionals and print experts from across the country, and HONGSAM's safe, versatile, and truly eco-conscious latex system quickly became one of the must-see highlights of the show floor.
On-site Buzz: Crowds, Non-stop Inquiries
The exhibition hall was packed and buzzing with energy. At the HONGSAM booth, three latex printers drew steady crowds. Visitors gathered to examine finished prints up close, discuss potential applications and advantages, and run their fingers over the textures of different materials.
“No weird smell like in the UV area!” “The color saturation on this puzzle is incredible!” “This printed map is razor-sharp!” “Are these leather pieces and ad materials really done on the same latex machine?”
Attendees showed strong interest in the water-based latex approach. Technical staff were constantly surrounded, answering detailed questions about settings and process parameters.
Hong-Jet® Water-Based Eco-Friendly Latex Solution: Breaking Material Limits, Unlocking Endless Possibilities
On-site demonstrations highlighted targeted solutions for different market segments, directly addressing common industry pain points:
Children's puzzle (cardboard) solution – Delivering “baby-safe” eco performance
The Hong-Jet® HJ-6090 flatbed latex printer demo for children's puzzles attracted a lot of attention. Puzzles for kids demand the highest standards of safety and environmental compliance. JETALL® water-based latex ink delivers exactly that: non-toxic, odorless, and genuinely safe for infants and children. The finished pieces showed vibrant colors and excellent abrasion resistance—perfect for the growing demand in personalized educational products.
Special paper printing solution – Where art meets craftsmanship
The Hong-Jet® HJ-1604 latex photo printer demonstrated printing on richly textured specialty papers. When paired with latex ink, materials like durable, stretch-resistant, freeze-resistant maps maintain outstanding image permanence and detail. Whether for art reproductions or premium packaging, latex printing preserves the substrate's natural feel while delivering superior color expression and fastness. Many visitors focused on high-end image quality were clearly impressed.
Glass sticker solution – Flexible control of transparency and opacity
For the advertising and decoration markets, the Hong-Jet® HJ-1808 conveyor-belt latex printer showcased vibrant full-color white-ink glass film applications. The latex ink's excellent adhesion and weather resistance on transparent media produce long-lasting, fade-resistant results. This opens up more creative possibilities for signage, window graphics, and architectural decoration—while the water-based, eco-friendly nature adds meaningful value and premium positioning.
Broader applications of Hong-Jet® water-based latex printing: A true all-rounder across industries
Beyond the live demos, the versatility of Hong-Jet® latex equipment was another major reason for the strong interest. The lineup supports a wide range of uses, including:
Advertising sector: Light boxes, canvas, vehicle wraps, reflective films—strong coating adhesion and UV resistance.
Home soft furnishings: Leather, wallpaper, wall fabrics—meets strict indoor environmental standards.
Textiles & footwear: Shoe leather, fly knit fabrics—new possibilities for sportswear and shoe uppers.
Apparel printing: Leather garments, down jackets, non-absorbent fabrics, lettering films—ideal for fashion's need for small runs, fast turnaround, high customization, and top-tier eco credentials.
Digital short-run printing: Proofing on coated paper, gold/silver card stock, special papers for hot stamping—cost-effective, high-efficiency digital alternative.
The 2026 China Central Sign Show was more than a product showcase—it offered a clear preview of where the industry is heading. Notably, clothing leather printed with Hong-Jet® latex equipment has passed full SGS GB-18401 testing, confirming compliance with China's mandatory national standards for formaldehyde, pH value, and other safety indicators—while delivering leading performance in color vibrancy, scratch resistance, and lightfastness.
With its core strengths—genuine environmental credentials, broad material compatibility, excellent scratch and fade resistance—Hong-Jet® water-based eco latex printing technology is helping steer the advertising inkjet sector toward higher quality and greater sustainability.
Looking ahead, HONGSAM will continue to invest deeply in water-based latex innovation, bringing even more exciting applications to help customers stand out in a highly competitive market.
