Shanghai, China — Ningbo Colorido Digital Technology Co., Ltd. exhibited digital Socks Printers and 360° printed sock samples at the 20th Shanghai International Hosiery Purchasing Expo (CHPE2026), held March 23–25, 2026 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center.

According to Colorido’s company news on coloridotech.com, the booth focused on flexible, small-batch customization for hosiery buyers: equipment for 360° digital sock printing plus finished sample socks that show what a rotary Socks Printer can produce.

What Colorido Showed

Colorido reported that the booth highlighted the CO80-210PRO four-roller Socks Printer, together with digitally printed sock samples aimed at personalized and short-run programs.

On Colorido’s current product documentation, the CO80-210PRO is specified with:

  • Four rollers for alternating load / print / unload work
  • 2× Epson I1600 print heads
  • Roller diameter range commonly listed at 72–90 mm (confirm the ordered rollers for your blanks)
  • Reference output of 50–120 pairs/hour (reference output only; results depend on print mode, artwork, material, finishing and staffing)

CE documentation on Colorido’s current machine range applies to the CO80-210PRO and CO60-100PRO. Buyers should request the certificate package for the exact model and configuration they order.

Why the Show Matters for Overseas Buyers

CHPE is a hosiery sourcing event. For overseas brands, distributors and print shops, Colorido’s message at the show tracked the same points already documented on coloridoprint.com:

  • 360° seamless printing on tubular socks, rather than a flat-panel print window only
  • Short-run and print-on-demand workflows, including finished custom printed socks when buyers need pairs instead of equipment
  • Material-aware finishing after printing (ovens, steaming and washing routes depend on fiber and ink)

Colorido was founded in 2015 in Ningbo, China. An overview of the current Socks Printer family is available in Inside the Ningbo Colorido Socks Printer Lineup.
