Digital printing on panels is an accessible production technology that offers maximum design freedom thanks to its ability to faithfully replicate any creative idea onto the surface of a panel. With this system, Filippi 1971 produces laminates that are fully customizable in color, design, and finish, transforming any pattern, texture, or image into a high-quality furnishing element.
In this article, we discuss the advantages of digital printing on panels, analyzing in particular the technology and materials that define the Filippi 1971 offering for the furniture sector.
Our In-House Production Process
What sets us apart in the furniture panel manufacturing landscape is complete control over the process.
For this reason, we respond with agility to the different needs of the market.
Our production of digitally printed laminates on panels takes place entirely in-house. In this way, we can guarantee maximum control over the quality of the finished product, from raw material to delivery.
Such a vertical approach allows us to supervise every stage, ensuring the excellence that has always distinguished the Filippi 1971 brand.
To transform designers’ creative visions into reality, we rely on next-generation plotters capable of reproducing images, patterns, and textures with extreme color fidelity and resolution.
Another advantage of in-house production is the ability to manage flexible quantities: whether it is a single custom-made furnishing piece or a supply for a large contract project.
Unlimited Customization in Color, Design, and Finish
The design freedom offered by Filippi 1971 is expressed through the three pillars of customization made possible by digital printing: color, design, and finish.
Color. Our printing technology allows us to reproduce any shade, overcoming the limitations of standard catalogs; in this way, we can integrate panels with the exact chromatic mood of any environment.
Design. Architects and designers can print any idea: from complex geometric patterns to ultra-high-definition photographic reproductions, as well as simulations of natural materials such as rare woods or precious stones.
Finish. The possibility of choosing among different surface finishes, such as melamine or phenolic, determines the final aesthetic appearance (glossy, matte, textured) and also influences the technical properties, adapting them to the specific application.
This versatility opens up a world of unlimited use cases and inspiration, such as:
- Retail store fittings with customized brand identity
- Creation of partition walls with exclusive patterns
- Furnishing components (such as tabletops and kitchens) that become true distinctive elements of the project
The Versatility of Digital Laminates
Digitally printed laminates are essentially panels covered with a digitally printed decorative paper, protected by a film that determines the finish and properties.
To ensure that the aesthetic freedom offered by digital printing translates into a durable furnishing solution, at Filippi 1971 we pay the utmost attention to the selection of substrate materials and surface finishes.
The client can choose between two main finishes:
Melamine Finish
Ideal for general interior furnishing, it offers an excellent balance between aesthetic quality, resistance to daily wear, and ease of cleaning. Perfect for furniture, cladding, and furnishing components.
Phenolic Finish (HPL – High Pressure Laminate)
Characterized by greater stratification and mechanical, thermal, and moisture resistance. It is the best choice for more demanding environments, such as contract projects, marine applications, or high-traffic areas.
VittEr®: Multilayer Innovation
Alongside traditional laminates, we offer an exclusive and compact solution: VittEr®. It is an innovative, compact multilayer material that represents a further evolution of the high-performance panel catalog.
VittEr® is fully customizable thanks to digital printing technology and stands out for being exceptionally resistant to moisture, heat, and wear.
Its solid structure makes it perfect for the production of high-performance furnishing components, particularly for:
- Worktops in humid environments (such as bathrooms)
- Kitchen tops that require extreme durability
- Furnishing parts subject to strong mechanical stress
Choosing VittEr® by Filippi 1971 means selecting a material that integrates customized aesthetics with extreme technical functionality.
Applications of Digital Printing on Panels in the Furniture Sector
The versatility of digital printing combined with the quality of Filippi 1971 substrates translates into an unlimited range of applications. Let’s look at some of them.
