Always one step ahead: Hymmen's digital printing technology for flooring
Digital printing plays a crucial role in the future of flooring as it allows unlimited design flexibility and can be applied to a wide range of materials. This enables faster response times to market demands and trends while reducing material waste. The combination of reduced process costs and market differentiation is driving the importance of digital printing technology in flooring production.
