3 Must-Know Facts About Digital Wallpaper Printing for Interior Decoration

Posted on

Decorating a home has never been easier, thanks to digital wallpapers. With on-demand digital printing and modern designs, wallpapers are increasingly being adopted for home interior design. Wallpapers are available in different colours and designs to suit the needs of different clients. The interior décor can be printed based on customer specifications or according to a designer's style. Here is what beginners should know about digital wallpaper printing for interior decoration.

Durability and Longevity of Digital Wallpapers 

The problem with traditional wallpaper or paintings is that, over time, the pieces might start to stain or chip. Also, glosses, sheens and colour intensity can fade faster in conventional wallpaper. Therefore, a homeowner might require regular touch-ups to keep a wallpaper looking fresh. Maintenance of traditional wallpaper is expensive and time-consuming. In contrast, digital wallpapers are very durable because they can resist wear and tear. For instance, digital wallpapers are capable of maintaining their sheen for longer compared to conventional wallpapers. Most importantly, digital wallpapers last longer, saving a homeowner money in the long run.

Resolution 

A critical consideration for digital printing of wallpapers is the resolution of a digital file. If you are ordering wallpaper from a wall art website, check the image's resolution before hitting 'print'. Similarly, if you engage a professional for digital printing services, confirm the image's resolution before printing, denoted by dots per inch (DPI). A high DPI signifies a sharper image. Low-resolution images have a 150dpi, while medium resolution images range from 200dpi to 300dpi. A high-resolution image has a resolution of 600dpi. When in doubt, always go for a higher resolution. However, wallpapers with a high DPI value are more expensive compared to low-resolution images.

Select Right Colours 

Image resolution is not the only factor to consider when printing a wallpaper. The choice of colours is equally important to producing stunning images on wallpaper. Some of the standard colour models that you can choose from include RGB, CMYK, and sRGB. Each model has its benefits and drawbacks, which users must know. If you are printing a custom wallpaper from a site, review the website's colour models and change your image to conform to their standards. Remember that different colour models cause some colours to appear differently on a computer monitor than they are. Therefore, work with an expert who knows more about colour profiles and shades to avoid redoing a paint job and spending more money.
