RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The first idea was to create a new mateial which can be install without the expertise of a professional. Magnetize or paste it on a wall seemed the best solution. As our collections are modular and custom produced, we needed a new production with custom colors design. Digital printing was the good solution to developp little quantity to start, then to sell mini collection as we want to create further collections per year.
We want to offer to our customer the choice of a new decoration, different from the other, as we produce less with more choices.
We test different way to use Hexagone on our computer, to simulate a result.
We visited the professionnal fair in Lyon C'Print dedicated ti digital print solution.
As our design and solution were noticed i was invited to speak about the project to a conference.
CHALLENGE: Here, challenge was to find the best material to print on at the best price.
We test alsmost ten differents surfaces.
Then we decided to use Ecolyx , then wall paper.
