If you’re a print service provider or wallpaper distributor, you know that wall decoration is a market under pressure.

And that's understating it.

It has got huge potential, sure, but it’s changing and the challenges are multiple.

Expanding online services, stricter environmental requirements, reduced stocks and more custom, just-in-time jobs while roll orders are declining in general and prices are rising…

Plenty of reasons why it’s hard to realize the potential with conventional wallpaper printing set-ups.

Meeting Safety And Environmental Requirements With Dry Toner
