Image Magic Co., Ltd. (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Makoto Yamakawa) has released an exhibition report for "Order Goods Business Show Osaka 2026 (OGBS Osaka 2026)," the largest order goods-related exhibition in Western Japan, held from Wednesday, March 18 to Thursday, March 19, 2026. At this exhibition, we showcased the latest models under the theme of "Small Start" for beginning a business from scratch and "Labor Saving" through automation, proposing solutions that meet diverse printing needs.

The venue was bustling every day, with high interest in small starts and labor saving. At OGBS Osaka 2026, we welcomed many order goods businesses, mainly from Western Japan, as well as companies considering new entry into the market. Against the backdrop of recent labor shortages and diversifying consumer needs, there was extremely high interest in equipment for "Small Start" that can be launched with minimal space and low capital, and "Automation and Labor Saving" solutions that dramatically improve production efficiency.

Covering everything from "Small Start" from 200,000 yen to "AI x Labor Saving" At our booth, we exhibited numerous small machine series, including the DTF printer "xTool Apparel Printer," which Image Magic has started selling as an authorized distributor. Demonstrations showcasing high-quality printing and laser processing in a compact space consistently drew crowds, and we received many comments such as "I can introduce this even in my company's small space" and "I was surprised by how easy it is to operate." Furthermore, significant attention was paid to labor-saving solutions that digitally complement skilled techniques, such as automated alignment using AI cameras.

Booth staff's insights: Visitor voices and latest needs From the comments of our staff who engaged in conversations with customers over two days, we convey the latest printing needs and reactions in the Western Japan area.

"This time, we exhibited 'xTool' with a booth configuration that imagined an apparel store, and we received a very significant response. Even regular customers praised us, saying, 'This exhibition is a bit different,' and we felt a strong sense of accomplishment. In particular, many small business owners considering apparel businesses were able to visualize specific use cases, leading to numerous positive consultations for introduction.

At the booths of other exhibitors, xTool's flagship laser processing machine 'P3,' a higher-end model of the 'F1' laser processing machine also displayed at our booth, attracted attention.

Furthermore, we reaffirmed that there is growing interest in 'automation and labor saving' across the industry. We will continue to actively introduce our technologies and strive to be a partner that supports everyone's business. Thank you very much to all who visited."
