Digital Printing - Roll to Roll
Roll-to-roll digital printing provides a practical and cost-effective alternative to traditional décor production. Unlike the gravure press process, known for its rigid setup and high costs, this solution is designed to fit seamlessly into modern production environments.
By making the switch, manufacturers benefit from significant cost savings in inventory and production time. But the real advantage? Greater design freedom. With on-demand printing and mass customization now economically viable, creativity can finally keep pace with your production.
Digital Printing Roll to Roll
Décors for laminate flooring are traditionally printed on high speed, wide-format gravure printing lines. Setting up the gravure press, mounting and dismounting the cylinders can take several weeks. As a result, this conventional process has a high set-up cost. This means that gravure printing is only profitable when printing large volumes of the same design.
By swapping this traditional gravure process to digital printing roll-to-roll, manufacturers can be more agile and reduce costs.
The benefits of going digital:
- Lower inventory costs
- On-demand printing
- Mass customization
- Fast design changeovers
- Enhanced design freedom
- Affordable, small run-lengths
- Faster time to market

Ink
A very important element of digital printing is selecting the optimal ink and consequently the ink supplier. From day one, Unilin Technologies worked from day one with AGFA who is specialized in developing and finetuning an ink towards a specific market.

Primer
Décor paper is a very porous and open-structured paper. Without adding primer, water-based inks can penetrate into the substrate and cause uncontrolled bleeding beyond the intended print area.
Our patented primer technology prevents ink bleeding and ensures high quality image sharpness, contrast and color intensity.
