We have recently completed a project restoring a wallpaper back to its original glory. A sample of the wallpaper was sent to us and we were asked to recreate it at a minimum cost. The customer had been quoted rediculous prices from a traditional engraver to have the design Surface printed (Nearly £680 for 1 roller), that was before the wallpaper was printed. We printed the wallpaper (2 rolls) and recreated the design for our client for less than the £680 quoted by the engraver.

See below our before and after shots :-

After

The customer has received this and is very happy with the wallpaper results

In a previous post I told of an article that was published in House & Garden. The article was about bespoke digitally printed products and included a series of wallpapers. Concept coverings was featured in this article and I have the pleasure of bringing it to you today. The roll we printed was the one on the chair in Black and Pink colours

We have just finished a project restoring an old wallpaper sample to its original glory.  Posting will follow.  The great thing about the wallpaper was it never even touched a rotary screen engraver.

Marvelous

This month’s (November) special issue of House & Garden features an article related to bespoke digitally printed products.

We were asked by House & Garden to provide some lengths of old archive wallpaper for them. They sent us the images from the archives and they were made into lengths of wallpaper for the magazine.

Tomorrow, I will scan in the article and post it online.

We recently completed an order for a company in London called 19 entertainment. www.19.co.uk

For those of you who do not know who they are, they are the agents for the Beckham Brand.

Concept Coverings was asked to print the wallpaper for a run out store to market their products. The wallpaper was a simple and classy design basically repeating the logo across the sheet. The great thing about the wallpaper was that a single Gravure roller was not engraved. Initially we were going to print the order via a single colour Gravure print, but we talked the client into accepting digitally printed wallpaper, because the quality is so much better.

I am glad to say the wallcovering was printed, converted, packaged and delivered over 8 weeks ago and 19 are over the moon with the results.

We are now waiting for the next store to be refurbished with the wallpaper and we will be printing that too.

Check out the 19 website www.19.co.uk and see below a visual of the wallpaper we printed.

The repeat on the wallcovering was 520mm wide x 800mm circumference. A traditional gravure engraver would charge a fortune for this size of base!! It was free from us!!

Today saw published an article in House and Garden magazine about digitally printed wallpaper / products. It went over the point that design and colour is now being produced with out the need for engraving.  Typically a rotary screen engraver would have engraved the screens for patterns in the magazine and then then they could be coloured. Not the ones in today’s magazine.  They had never seen the inside shop of a ROTARY SCREEEN ENGRAVER ’s facility, only the sophisticated structure of the modern studio’s popping up all over the UK.

In these studio’s digital technology is moving at a rapid  pace.  Using extreme RIPS for printing wallpaper and fabrics and computing technology only once dreamed of, the digital face of home furnishings is most definitely changing.

Concept Coverings was featured in this special version of the magazine and we will bring you a clip soon.

Is this the end of the rotary screen engraver?  I think not.

Whilst digital printing is cost effective on small runs, it is very expensive on larger print runs.  It is more cost effective to have a rotary screen engraver engrave the screens and print via the conventional method.

The trends for BESPOKE WALLPAPER are changing all the time.  We are more and more being asked to produce wall murals that people are classing as bespoke wallpaper / custom wallpaper.
More so the colourways on wallpaper s are changing too.  Long gone are the days when when beiges and neutrals where the colour to have.  Oh No!!!!  Our Digitally printed wallpaper is now vibrant and full of colour.  Our customers are requesting colours that were only ever dreamed about in the top end of the wallpaper market.

For wallpaper in general, I believe the future  is very rosy for every one involved as more and more people request samples and our hit rates from the website translate into conversions.

Why not try our exciting new concept of wallpaper and canvas prints.  Here we sit the canvas print or photo to canvas over the wallpaper to fit the pattern, but twist the colours.  We have also applied for this as a TM for Concept Coverings Ltd.
