decor print
The natural diversity of uniquely grown wood grain, the original
authenticity of a stone, the characteristic appearance of the different
materials and the unique creativity of the artist´s hand are all a visual part
of the human living environment. Whether it be on the floor, on the wall,
the ceiling, the stairs, on doors or furniture – the surface material supplies
structure and colour. If it isn’t the original, it is a decorative surface with
printed decor paper which creates a similar visual effect. Accurately based
on the original and perfectly reproduced – that’s how the decor image
gets printed on special paper by impress and, after further processing, it
becomes a visual part of the decorative wood surface.
impregnated paper
One possibility to coat a wood-based surface is to laminate it. This means
solid-colour or printed decor paper gets pressed onto the board with a very
high level of pressure and temperature. In order to effectively achieve a
successful result, the paper needs to be impregnated by being dipped into
a watery melamine resin dilution and then carefully dried. The remaining
melamine in the impregnated paper starts to cross-link during the pressing
procedure and creates a connection between the paper and the board, as
well as a usable surface. This surface with impregnated decor paper from
impress is then long-lasting and hard-wearing, suitable for smooth and
deep structures, and can be adapted to any relevant requirement.
finish foil
The impress finish foil is a special pre-treated paper. This paper can be
finished matt or glossy, structured or uniform, with or without decor print.
By applying our state-of-the-art coatings along with our advanced printing
technologies, the final surface of the future wood panel is aesthetically
created on the paper. The finish foils are then laminated onto the carrier
material with little pressure and at a moderate temperature, while the
connection between the plate and the laminated paper is enforced by
applying additional adhesion. By doing this, we produce surfaces which are
very pleasing to the eye and a pleasure to touch.
decor print inks
The decor print is a special procedure and therefore requires especially
balanced pre-products like paper and inks. Decor print inks from impress
have been developed specifically for this application and comply with both
the highly technical and economic requirements of modern rotogravure
printing and the ecological aspects required to adhere to our sustainable
proactive approach. Produced, qualitatively monitored, and constantly
enhanced – that is how impress services the requirements of the impress
Group and is consequently a leading market supplier to the industry.
additives
Individual requirements need custom-made solutions. This is offered
through the impress additive range. Depending on the relevant
requirements, these additives can be added to the melamine resin
during the impregnation process. By monitoring our procedure, we can
assist in regulating the production parameters, transport characteristics
can be specifically altered, utilisation characteristics can be established
and the end product and special processes can be enabled.

The printing structure definition; the colour definition; the surface finish
and the stress quality of the finished product are all part of the product
development, which in itself is a significant process step together with
a cooperative customer orientation and a direct exchange of expertise.
An outstanding interconnected internal team of experts analyses global
trends in the areas of design and surface technology and, together with
local customers, develops trendsetting wood, stone and fantasy decors
with pioneering performance characteristics which reflect the diversity of
cultures and demands.
The design philosophy
Our guiding principle is the conceptual work. It serves as a communication
platform and an aesthetic context. The diversity of cultures and lifestyles is
reflected in the collections and indicates our high quality design standards.
When a wood structure is being developed the impress design team seeks
constantly to find the balance between staying faithful to the original
and an expressive contemporary style. Globally we see this as a creative
challenge and as motivation for our daily work.

The current H2O design concept
Water is the element of motion, change and clarity. It offers a
virtually inexhaustible wealth of associations and references,
telling the stories of nature and its fascinating modifications.
Water presents itself as a surface, has depth and substance,
reflects the current world and varies its form and colour, yet
always remains authentic and eternal.
When looking into water we discover that the surface only
ever reveals the visible part of a complex inner structure. As a
result, water is a perfect synonym for the variety of surfaces.
Water directly appeals to all of the senses, giving them an
emotional charge when combined with decors and thus
effectively emphasising the texture and aura of the designs. It
is a source of inspiration for us and our customers.
Sona Chestnut
Jarama Elm
Sund Maple
Water offers a tremendous array of traits and temperaments. From a single droplet to the deep
wide ocean, water can be both the tiniest detail and the largest surface covering the earth. Rivers,
oceans and lakes, their landscapes, cultures and people trigger numerous associations. Seafaring
tells exciting stories of adventure and discovery. A journey into the world of water also serves as
our inspiration. The consistency of water alone is worth the trip! Join us on our expedition into the
worlds of vapour, rain and ice.

impress at the
Tortona Design Week 2014
refreshing – inspiring – creative – different – convincing –
communicative
These are the words with which our customers and
visitors described the impress showroom with the
installation „H2O THE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION“ at the
Tortona Design Week 2014 in Milan.
We had the pleasure to discuss decor colours and the
structures of future interior design trends with visitors
from five continents. This was indeed a worthwhile event,
the great energy resulting from which will linger on for
quite a while.
impress at the
Tortona Design Week 2015
Under bright sunshine and in high spirits impress presented
itself at the Milan furniture trade fair 2015 in the Zona
Tortona. This time again with a staging especially created
to bring the product “decorative surface” closer to the
design-oriented audience, architects, interior decorators
and designers, in a unique way. Alongside a small product
display with a relaxing atmosphere for customers, there was
additionally the interactive stage. All the visitors were invited
to actively participate in the staging. So over the course of the
four days emerged an extraordinary sculpture, a landscape of
many ideas, designs and drawings.
impress at the interzum 2015
The successful implementation of the design concept at an
exhibition stand turned the impress entry into a cool oasis
amidst the hustle and bustle of the interzum.
Inviting, open and transparent, the stand demonstrated the
impress philosophy of acting in a cosmopolitan and openminded manner, of breaking down borders, and of preserving
its identity. Hosted by the global design and distribution
network, the significance of the impress business Group
as a strategic partner for customers on all continents was
underlined in particular by the encouragingly high proportion
of international visitors.
impress in the press
At regular intervals we publish advertising and PR displays
in the trade magazines relevant to our industry. Follow-up
reports of past events and current trends are thus presented
to the public.
