January 22–24 | Impressions Expo Long Beach | The Atrium 

If there’s one event every year where the decorated apparel industry shows up and shows out, it’s Long Beach. And this year? ROQ is once again taking over the Atrium at Impressions Expo with the light, action and most immersive booth you’ll experience at the show. 


We’re not just bringing green machines—you’ll experience our four pillars of screen, DTF/transfer, fulfillment, and digital automation first hand.  Sign Up for Free Passes HERE



Why Visit ROQ at Long Beach?

If you’re in the world of screen printing, DTG, DTF, hybrid printing, transfers, or on-demand apparel, Long Beach is the place to be and ROQ is the booth you can’t miss.


This is your chance to walk through ROQ’s Four Pillars of Automation, see every machine running live, talk to the people who built them, and experience the most efficient production workflows in the industry—all under one roof.



PILLAR 1: SCREEN PRINTING AUTOMATION

For the screen printing purists, bulk production bosses, and high-volume print shops—we’re bringing the full lineup.


ree

ROQ ECO – The fastest automatic screen printing press on the market. Built for speed, uptime, and serious ROI.


ROQ NEXT – The super-duty press that combines muscle and brains. If you’re running big jobs and need zero downtime, this is your press.


ROQ E – Compact, powerful, and perfect for smaller spaces or growing shops. Same ROQ quality, smaller footprint. This year the E is featuring an interactive AR experience powered by ROCKABLOCK. Use your phone to see designs come to life and even step into them through ROCKLAND’S custom augmented reality tech.


ROQ machines aren’t just sitting going to sit there—we’re putting them to work. We’ve teamed up with MADE Laboratory and Avient to run a full series of high-end designs on premium blanks from Lane Seven, BELLA+CANVAS, and AS Colour.


Each shirt is:

  • Designed by MADE

  • Printed using Saati Mesh and Avient Ink Systems

  • Mocked up virtually with SEDDI’s AI-powered design platform

  • Registered perfectly using the ROQ REG system

  • Cured consistently and effectively with the new ROQ SAHARA Conveyor


You’ll walk away with retail-quality, story-driven prints that show exactly what automation can do for your business.


And if you HATE cleaning screens (who doesn’t?), we’ve got EASIWAY’s JET BLACK system in the booth—exclusive to ROQ. See how you can ditch the dip tanks for good.


Live in action! ROQ Staffs our booth with real screen print teams that will setup, breakdown and demo the equipment throughout the day feature the new SAATI LTS E70B for lightning-fast screen setups and also showcasing EXILE’s drumless WAX technology for screen making. Super clean, super efficient.




PILLAR 2: DTF/TRANSFER AUTOMATION


ree

Print-on-demand is booming, but it’s still one of the slowest, most manual parts of the print industry… until now. Introducing the ROQ IMPRESS – the only fully automated transfer press with:

  • Automatic transfer placement - with the ROQ FEED and NEW ROQ FEED DUAL (auto size changer).

  • Patented ROQ PEEL peel and transfer peeling system

  • ROQ PULL PLUS automatically unloading the garment, stacking, and staging them.

  • Speeds up to 500+ pieces per hour (no joke) This press is changing the game.


We’re running the ROQ IMPRESS live using SUPACOLOR’s premium hybrid digital/screen print transfers and American DTF’s on-demand transfers—so you can see both high-volume and one-off automation happening side by side.

Whether you’re running your own POD brand or fulfilling for someone else, this is how you scale without adding labor.


PILLAR 3: FULFILLMENT TO GO|

ree

You’ve printed the shirt—now what? ROQ’s FOLD, PACK, and LABEL system automates the final (and often forgotten) step in production: getting product to your customers efficiently and professionally.

At Long Beach, every shirt printed in the ROQ Atrium Experience will be:

  • Folded, packed, and bagged automatically with the ROQ Fulfillment System

  • Delivered directly to you on the tradeshow floor—ready to take home, store, or wear right away

Whether you run a high-volume print shop or manage on-demand dropshipping, this system closes the loop between production and delivery—with consistency, speed, and zero extra labor.


PILLAR 4: DIGITAL & HYBRID PRINTING


ree

Curious about DTG? Wondering where hybrid or full digital is going? We’ve got the answers and the samples.

Even though the ROQ NOW won’t be at the show, we’d love to get your hands on the latest samples from our industrial DTG printers showcasing the best wash fastness, incredible color range, and consistent output.


Also learn about the new ROQ HYBRID printer is capable of printing over 500 shirts an hour digitally. 


If you like what you see and like us too, we’ll invite you to Florida to see the full operation hands on and in action.

INDUSTRY

Our
Partners

Early on, we made a conscious decision to eradicate the word "customer" from our vocabulary. ROQ.US has no customers -- we only do business with Partners.

A customer is someone on one end of a transaction, but a Partner is a companion. A Partner is an ally.

 

A Partner is a trusted friend who is invested in the journey with you. That long-term camaraderie is what we aim to provide for our Partners.

​

As we continue to roll out the green carpet for you, we're honored to introduce you to our current roster of ROQ.US Referral Partners. These industry leaders are valued ROQ.US family members as You are and we're excited to bring You together with them to reinforce the product/service muscle behind your operation.
