United Surface Solutions与尤尼林知识产权部门很高兴地宣布，双方在数码打印和压纹专利技术方面签署合作协议，将在数码打印领域展开广泛的合作。
United Surface Solutions and Unilin Technologies are pleased to announce their license cooperation regarding digital printing and texturing technologies which allows United Surface Solutions to utilize the broadest patent portfolio in the digital printing space today.
该解决方案结合了西班牙Barberan公司先进的数码打印和压纹设备、以及意大利ZEETREE公司开发的耗材。不仅可以实现超高分辨率的数码直接打板，提升SPC地板的耐磨性以及达AC5级的耐刮性，同时非凡的数码压纹纹理及其耐用性迄今为止市场罕见。
The advanced digital printing and texturing machines from Barberan, headquartered in Spain, and the consumables developed by the Italian company ZEETREE have led to this amazing digital offering. The solution has been specifically engineered for the purpose of allowing ultrahigh resolution printing direct to board, wear layer advancements to deliver class AC5 scratch resistance, and state-of-the-art digital embossed textures and durability never seen before on SPC products.
“我们很高兴能够采用这项世界级的先进技术。”United Surface Solutions的埃里克·埃里克森（Eric Ericson）表示：“尤尼林专利许可协议、结合Barberan最新设备以及ZEETREE耗材，是我们团队3年以来在全球范围内的调研成果。为确保我们在市场上提供高质量和高价值的产品，我们在技术方案的研究及选择上非常谨慎，我们产品预计在12月上市，数码同步对花技术在明年第二季度面世。”
“We are very excited to employ this world-class technology,” states Eric Ericson of United Surface Solutions. “The Unilin licensing agreement, combined with the latest Barberan equipment and ZEETREE consumables, is the result of an extensive 3-year global research effort by our team. We have been very careful and measured in our research effort and in the selection of these technologies to ensure that our investment will deliver products of enhanced quality and superior value to the marketplace. Our current installation and development timeline intends to have product available for sale starting in December with EIR Digital Embossing available in early Q2.”
尤尼林知识产权部门是地板数码打印技术的领跑者之一，已获得最全面、覆盖范围最广的数码压纹专利，如于2021年12月14日授予的早期重磅专利US 11,198,318，以及于2022年2月1日授予的US 11,236,514。
Unilin Technologies is one of the frontrunners in digital printing technologies for flooring and has been granted the most relevant and comprehensive patents on digital texturing, such as the early blockbuster patents US 11,198,318, granted on December 14th, 2021, and US 11,236,514 granted on February 1st, 2022.
Barberan数码研发负责人埃拉迪奥·勒加（Eladio Lerga）表示：“早在2004年，Barberan就已经成为行业内第一家为家具和地板市场开发数码打印技术的公司，我们拥有最先进的设备和对该技术的深刻理解。”Barberan设备生产基地位于西班牙巴塞罗那，同时在美国提供本土技术支持服务。
“Barberan has been the first in the industry to start the development of digital printing technology for the furniture and flooring market back in 2004 which has resulted in state of the art equipment and a very deep knowledge of the technology,” states Eladio Lerga, head of digital R&D at Barberan.Barberan manufacturs its machines in Barcelona, Spain but also offers local support in the US.
ZEETREE首席执行官Giorgio Macor补充道，“自2016年以来，我们在高性能数码压纹解决方案的设计、开发和生产上就走在了前列，在仿木纹、石纹技术上实现前所未有的逼真效果。数码打印与数码同步压纹技术相结合，可以实现真实木材产品的外观和触感。与其他技术手段不同，我们的压纹在耐磨层上实现，因此地板上能实现卓越的耐磨性能。”
Giorgio Macor, ZEETREE CEO adds, “Since 2016, we are pioneering the design, development and manufacturing of high-performance digital texturing solutions to reproduce wood and stone like never before. The combination of digital printing with natural digital texturing in register with the image creates the look and feel of a real wood product. Unlike other applications the texture is made into the wear layer with has an unparalleled wear performance.”
