Technokolleg

Technokolleg

From fibre to surface. 
Knowledge that feeds into production.

If you have a good understanding of decor paper, you’ll be able to work with it more effectively. At Technokolleg, our technologists will introduce your team to the whole world of decor paper: from raw materials through to production and right up to your own processing stages. This isn’t a traditional lecture-style session. Here, experts engage in open discussion with one another.
 

The topics of our three workshops are:

  • Manufacture, structure and processing of decor paper
  • Color analysis, dyeing, colorimetric measurements and systems, opacity
  • Digital printing
