The way to an authentic look.
That is how Interprint's decors are created.
Decor Development / Repro
Creative Know-how
At the beginning, real materials are still the source of inspiration. Wood or stones and creative artwork are digitalised here.
The repro staff produce a layout on special workstations, arrange true to detail, retouch, space evenly, finish and separate into the different colours.
The layout is processed until it is ready for engraving and then engraved as a data set on printing cylinders.
Engraving
We do the engraving ourselves
The cylinders can be engraved for rotogravure printing after the repro department has finalised the décor data. Interprint does that in-house because we have our own cylinder engraving department – for both conventional, electromechanical engraving and laser engraving.
Why do we do it ourselves? Because it allows us to implement décors much faster and avoids long shipping times from and to third-party engraving partners. And we are simply more flexible.
Decor Sampling
It's your choice ...
Conventional
After engraving, you can sample your decor at our laboratory. Rely on the skill and the experience of our printing staff and let your wishes be fulfilled, regardless of whether it is a mother-of-pearl effect or the development process. We prepare the development, support it and implement it together with you and the press plate manufacturers.
Talk to us – we will implement anything you want.
Digital
Quick, high-quality and sustainable. We have developed a digital printing method that allows a seamless connection to intaglio decor printing. You can individually choose the colour of your decor at our site – directly on the monitor if you wish. The digital sampling allows us to develop many different colourings within the shortest time.
Another advantage of the digital solution: The lesser amount of used paper and ink protects the environment.
Production
Technology
A decor design is always only as good as the technology and the people behind it. With much sensitivity for a high-quality printing result, we work on rotogravure presses and produce decor papers and finish foils.
At our headquarters in Arnsberg, we operate the worldwide first digital printing system for décor papers. For us and many of our customers, this system is an important supplementation to the classic rotogravure printing. This technology allows us to also produce newly developed décors in small quantities cost-effectively for you.
Impregnation
Impregnating printed decor papers
Our colleagues in Tordera in Spain, Samara in Russia and Curitiba in Brazil are happy to take care of this. Take advantage of the “everything from a single source” service – you can rely on our impregnation specialists. You can obtain melamine films for chipboard and MDF boards, films for the production of CPL and HPL as well as films for laminate flooring.
