Faster production processes: Digital printing software for wallpaper

From 3 days to 2.5 hours: How does the turnaround time per job become more efficient?

From traditional screen printing to individual digital printing of wallpaper – this change is currently being made by many print service providers, including a large European wallpaper manufacturer (the print service provider wishes to remain anonymous in order not to jeopardize its market advantage). To automate its production workflow with suitable digital printing software, the wallpaper manufacturer chose OneVision as its partner.
