Kridia ArtPrinting Solutions Unlocks Albania's Textured Wallpaper Market With Dimense Printing Technology From Roland DG Europe
Tirana, Albania – August 2026 – Kridia ArtPrinting Solutions, an Albanian print and interior décor specialist, has announced its adoption of Roland DG's Dimense textured printing technology, positioning the company as the only provider of locally produced, custom embossed wallpaper in Albania.
The Dimense Module sits at the heart of Kridia's updated workflow, enabling the team to generate texture structures dynamically based on image tones and contrast, rather than building them manually.
This shift has reduced design time considerably while improving the precision and smoothness of embossed surfaces — a critical advantage in the high-end interior décor market.
A recent project involving large-scale embossed ancient coin wallpaper demonstrated the technology's capabilities under real production pressures.
With a tight deadline and complex detailing required, the Dimense Module enabled Kridia's team to complete the structural editing quickly without sacrificing quality.
The Module is now embedded in nearly all of the company's projects, serving as a core component of daily production.
The combination of hardware and software has also opened new commercial possibilities.
As the only company in Albania capable of producing fully customised embossed wallpaper based on customer-supplied imagery, Kridia occupies a unique and defensible position in the local market — one that imported products cannot easily replicate.
Looking ahead, Kridia is well placed to scale as demand for experience-driven, personalised interiors continues to grow.
With a faster, more flexible design process now firmly in place, the company can take on greater project volumes, respond more quickly to client briefs, and continue pushing the boundaries of tactile surface printing.

What Is the Digital Product Passport?
At its core, a Digital Product Passport is a digital record attached to a physical product - For a printed textile product, this means the DPP would capture data on the substrate, inks and dyes used, the printing process and technology, chemical compliance, environmental impact (including water and energy use), supply chain traceability, and end-of-life instructions.
The Market Gap that Changed Everything
Future Fashion was founded in 2019, timed deliberately to coincide with a pivotal moment in global textile technology: the commercial launch of the EFI Reggiani BOLT Single-Pass digital printing system.
The founders recognised that single-pass architecture had fundamentally changed what was industrially possible - and that Pakistan's domestic market had yet to catch up.
Print is no longer defined by the inefficiencies that once characterised it…as advances in production processes and technology have significantly improved its environmental performance.
Taran Rai, Corporate Sustainability Manager at Epson explains why?
The story of what happens when young designers access digital technology is still being written.
