Digital printing direct to board is a specialized high-tech printing process where the décor is printed directly onto the core material, such as wood, HDF, vinyl, plywood, cork,…
In addition to the great visuals reached by this process, this technology also offers the possibility of adding texture to the surface. By adding digital structuring on top of the print, it creates the authentic feeling of real wood. The result is a surface that doesn’t just look authentic, it also feels authentic.
Digital printing direct to board can be a gamechanger in the industry. It’s a smarter, more flexible way to produce. It combines unmatched design versatility with efficiency gains and cost reduction.
Push design boundaries
Boost productivity and cut waste
Negative structuring
To match the surface feel with its visual appearance, a lifelike texture is added directly on top of the printed décor, no embossing cylinders or texturing foils required. This texture also acts as a durable wear layer. Protecting the product against scratches and wear.
Using negative digital structuring technology, the surface texture is created by first adding, selective curing and afterwards removing material in order to create precise embossed-in-register patterns.
