World’s first printer that prints and embosses wallpaper simultaneously

Lithuanian company Veika has introduced Dimense printer that prints and embosses simultaneously— ideal for wallpaper production. The machine was demonstrated. Prior to the introduction of Dimense, according to the company, embossing was limited in production of wallpapers. In the process, in order to create 3D effect, a print cylinder for exactly this embossed pattern had to be produced. The size and format of the embossing therefore was limited and could not exceed the circumference of the cylinder. But Dimense overcomes this limitation in a “revolutionary” way by enabling wallpaper producers to simply print embossing.

An R&D department at Veika, around 25 people spent several years developing the technology, with the result being Dimense, a printer that works with the environment-friendly base material by the name of Ecodeco that Veika also introduced. Since no rotation cylinder needs to be produced for each and every design, with Dimensor, small batches become possible, new designs can be produced and tested easily and quickly and even individual wallpapers for individual clients are possible.
