Printing the interior: technology guarding design

Today, printing technologies make it possible to apply images to materials that were previously inaccessible to industrial print. Fabric, plastic, glass, wood - the possibilities are almost endless. And this can be used not only for small promotional items. In this way, you can completely transform a room - both an office and your own apartment.

Moreover, digital printing allows you to create a unique design, since there is no need for mass printing - you can produce products in one or several copies. Let's take a closer look at modern capabilities.

Wallpaper printing

Many people associate searching for wallpaper with huge catalogs or choosing the right rolls in construction supermarkets. You need to adapt to the existing range, colors and textures. However, large-format digital printing allows you to produce wallpaper according to your own design. We can talk about a single image, say, a photo or a landscape covering an entire wall. But you can also print several rolls with the same pattern to decorate the entire room in the color scheme you need. Previously, such things required the participation of an artist, a large amount of money and time. Now you can trust the technology.

By the way, instead of a pattern, you can use logo elements and include corporate colors - this is a great way to brand a room. Such an office will be associated with good taste and solidity.

Furniture printing

Furniture items can also become decorative elements. For example, inkjet UV printing allows you to apply an image to a hard (in printing parlance, non-absorbent surface). This way you can seal wood or plastic. Manufacturers of sliding wardrobes have long been offering photo printing on doors - and you can choose a standard picture or offer your own photo. However, the possibilities of the technology are much wider - after all, you can apply the image to other areas of furniture, for example, tables or chairs, kitchen facades.

Agree, the kitchen will look quite original if it is on tiles, wallpaper, and The furniture will have images in the same style. In addition, today it is possible to print on floor coverings (for example, wooden) and ceilings (for example, stretch ceilings). So you can completely create a room in the form of a forest or a seashore.

Printing on mirrors, glass

The same inkjet printing allows you to print both mirrors and glass. If there is enough natural light, then you can use windows as a surface for original images - for example, to create the illusion of rain, or a panorama of another city.

Textile printing

Digital printing on fabric is a very actively developing area. It is widely used by world clothing designers, creating original fashion collections. We are talking about printing on finished products and on rolls of fabric. In the interior, such technologies are less common, although in vain. However, roller blinds with photo printing are quite popular - they allow you to create your own mood, can be used instead of curtains and are relatively inexpensive. At the same time, you can order the curtains themselves with printing, and at the same time other textiles - like pillows or tablecloths. A completely radical solution is upholstery of upholstered furniture. If we are talking about an office, then you can think about corporate chairs or ottomans. Guests will always pay attention to this and will quickly remember your company.

A little about quality and technology

As already mentioned, interior printing has not yet become very widespread, so a question may arise when ordering quality.

For interior printing, large-format inkjet equipment is most often used. Essentially, it’s an inkjet printer that you know well at home or in the office, but it’s very large. From one and a half to five meters wide.

Taking into account environmental requirements and safety, the technology comes down to two options - water-based and UV-curable inks. Both do not evaporate harmful substances and can even be used in children's rooms or hospitals. However, it will never be a bad idea to inquire about the appropriate certificates for the ink that is used in the printing house.

Water-based printing is suitable mainly for paper wallpaper. For hard surfaces, UV curing is required. UV ink is very durable, does not fade for a long time, and does not scratch, so you don’t have to worry about the durability of the interior.

So, digital printing allows you to create the room, literally, of your dreams. Each piece of furniture, the design of walls, ceilings or floors, textiles - all this can be done in the same manner. And your interior will be unique...
