The global printing community has gathered in Slovenia this week as Dscoop Edge Slovenia officially opened on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at the GR – Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Center. More than 500 members of the HP industrial print ecosystem from approximately 40 countries are attending the three-day event, which runs through Friday, June 12.
Organized by Dscoop — the global, member-led community of HP Industrial Print customers and partners — the conference marks the return of the flagship regional event to the EMEA region after seven years. Under the theme “The Art of Growth,” the program focuses on practical ideas, collaborative learning, and actionable strategies for print businesses navigating a rapidly evolving industry.
Live Technology Showcase in Ljubljana
The event’s Solutions Showcase features 29 of Dscoop’s year-round partners demonstrating live presses, software, automation tools, and finishing solutions. Attendees can see the HP Indigo 18K and HP Indigo 200K Digital Presses running in real time, alongside HP’s latest workflow innovations including HP Nio, an AI-powered assistant for print service providers, and HP PrintOS Order Flow, a connected order intake solution.
For businesses in the apparel printing space, the advancements showcased at Dscoop Edge Slovenia are particularly relevant. HP Indigo digital presses are widely used for custom garment decoration, direct-to-garment printing, and textile applications. The new HP Indigo 7K+ Digital Press, now commercially available worldwide following its debut at Dscoop Edge Rockies, introduces an Eco Print Mode that reduces ink usage on four-color jobs, making custom apparel production more cost-effective.
What This Means for Apparel Printing
The innovations on display in Ljubljana signal continued momentum in digital textile and garment decoration technology. The HP Indigo 18K Value Pack, announced exclusively for existing HP Indigo 15K customers, adds support for substrates up to 600 microns — opening opportunities in trading cards, hang tags, and folding cartons while maintaining the B2 format versatility that makes the platform a favorite for on-demand apparel runs.
“The conversations happening this week in Ljubljana are exactly why communities like Dscoop matter,” said Haim Levit, Senior Vice President and Division President of HP Graphics Solutions Business. “Our customers are navigating a period of rapid change, from AI and automation to evolving customer expectations. Events like Edge create an opportunity to learn from one another, see new innovations firsthand, and discover practical ways to grow.”
For printed apparel businesses in Slovenia and across Europe, Dscoop Edge Slovenia offers a glimpse into the future of custom garment production, automated workflows, and sustainable printing practices — all taking place in the heart of Ljubljana.
