Automating and Customizing Wallpaper

There are several factors to consider when you are looking to produce high-quality, high-volume wallpaper. Your job can and should be as simple as “print, cut, rewind, and tape.” Here are some key elements to maximize profits and efficiency when creating customized wallpaper solutions.

The high-volume feeder

When creating customized wallpaper solutions, you want to make sure you have a high-volume feeder. This technology helps eliminate manual operation and works towards full automation that boosts print volumes to maximize profit. Solutions like the motorized Fotoba Jumbo Roll media loader attached to the Canon Colorado Printer Series can help deliver optimum production throughout. For added convenience, having an embedded taping unit can make jobs as simple as “print, cut, rewind, and tape,” allowing wallpaper rolls to be available for quick delivery. The combination of the Colorado Printer Series and the Fotoba Jumbo Roll media loader (JRL), called the Canon UVgel Wallpaper Factory, helps customers automatically cut flexible media into custom sizes and lengths.

Dimensional stability and color consistency

During wallpaper production, color consistency and dimensional stability are critical. You want to make sure that you are choosing an ink that offers optimal control of dot gain and delivers brilliant color consistency print after print, even across multiple printers at different times, which can be beneficial for producing large volumes of multi-panel wallcoverings. The UVgel technology by Canon Solutions does just that. The UVgel inks do not require heat to dry, which eliminates room for media distortion and results in a high-quality finished product. When choosing the correct ink for your job, you also want to make sure that they are safe to be used indoors and that they give you the correct finish needed for your wallpaper.

For efficiency and workflow, a complete end-to-end solution is ideal because of its convenience, growth opportunities, and capability of quick turnaround times. It also gives business owners the option to expand offerings and really take on high-volume digital wallpaper manufacturing.
