Use embossing for new directions in the texturing of surfaces
Digital lacquer embossing (DLE) enables you to break new ground in the production of textured surfaces. The DLE procedure, which was developed by finishing machinery manufacturer Hymmen, involves a texturing medium being printed onto a wet lacquer film. This texturing medium displaces the lacquer in some places. This creates a depression, which is fixed after hardening.
Some of our customers are already using this modern procedure for the surface coating of their products – naturally in combination with the innovative lacquers from Hesse.

How embossing works
What does this technology do and how does it work?
The DLE procedure combines elements of digital printing with coating technology. The initial challenge when it came to printed wood decors was to make the texture tangible and visible, but by now its application goes far beyond this.
Authentic reproduction of wood surfaces also requires replication of the three-dimensional surface structure. The DLE procedure makes it possible to position the depressions that correspond to the wood pores exactly as they appear on the printing template. The subsequent hardening permanently fixes this texture.
The print head can of course be digitally controlled at will, opening up completely new design domains. Lacquer and digitisation combined in the finest sense. Wood, stone, concrete and fantasy decors. All of these are possible.
