OUR PRINTING SOLUTIONS
Plywood printing is not the same as conventional printing.
Wood-based substrates can vary in surface texture, porosity, grain structure, resin content, moisture and preparation—all of which can influence how a pigment or ink behaves.
MorWood® develops specialized printing solutions around these variables, helping manufacturers achieve controlled colour application and the desired printing appearance.
MorWood® develops printing solutions across three core application areas:
• Pigments For Screen Printing
Specialized Pigments developed for manufacturers formulating or using screen-printing systems for plywood.
• Screen–Inks For Screen Printing (Ready To Use)
Ready-to-use or application-specific ink systems developed for direct printing onto suitable plywood surfaces.
• Roller Inks / Direct–Inks (Ready To Use)
Ink technologies developed for roller-based printing processes onto suitable plywood and laminate surfaces.
Development Focus
Pigment Strength
Controlled and efficient colour development.
Dispersion
Consistent pigment distribution within the intended ink system.
Shade Development
Development around defined colour requirements.
Substrate Compatibility
Consideration of the characteristics of wood-based surfaces.
Process Consistency
Designed with repeatable industrial application in mind.
A printing system that can perform consistently throughout the production process.
PRINTING FOR DECORATIVE PANELS
Expanding the Visual Possibilities of Plywood.
Printing technology can allow manufacturers to create more controlled and repeatable surface appearances across wood panels.
Potential applications can include:
-
Decorative wood patterns
-
Wood-grain effects
-
Surface colour development
-
Pattern reproduction
-
Decorative plywood
-
Furniture panels
-
Interior panels
The appropriate printing system depends on the substrate, design, application process and required final finish.
WHY MorWood® PRINTING TECHNOLOGY?
WOOD-PANEL SPECIALIZATION
Our printing chemistry is developed with plywood and wood-based substrates in mind.
APPLICATION-FIRST DEVELOPMENT
We consider the printing method and substrate together.
FORMULATION ENGINEERING
Pigments and inks are developed around defined application requirements.
INDUSTRIAL VALIDATION
Selected systems can be evaluated under practical production conditions.
