Revolutionizing the Print Business at OGBS Osaka 2026

Image Magic, based in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, is set to showcase their cutting-edge printing technologies at the upcoming Order Goods Business Show 2026 in Osaka, taking place from March 18-19. This exhibition marks one of the largest events in Western Japan catering to the order goods business.

What sets this event apart is not just the display of machinery; Image Magic aims to provide a comprehensive solution for creating profitable business systems. With packages available starting at just ¥200,000, attendees can expect to see products ranging from user-friendly machinery designed for immediate business use, to next-gen automated solutions powered by AI cameras.

Addressing the Diverging Needs of the Print Market

Currently, the order goods market is polarized into two main sectors:
1. Small Start Entrepreneurs: Individuals looking to begin a side business or diversify income streams with low budgets.
2. Mid-Sized Manufacturers: Companies facing labor shortages that require automation and efficiency improvements.

Leveraging its 25 years of expertise in on-demand printing, Image Magic is poised to introduce a “DX of Systems” approach, offering equipment, software, and operational know-how tailored to meet the challenges faced by both market segments.
