technologies<\/strong><\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>SURFACES \u2013 LAS VEGAS \u2013 USA \u2013 I4F\u00ae, a group of companies providing patents and technologies to the flooring industry, today announced a further reinforcement of its focus on the development of digital printing technologies for the global flooring industry. As part of this, the company announced a new partnership with Benchwick that facilitates the introduction of a unique digital printing technology delivering an embossed 3D effect on decorative panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I4F believes this unique embossing technology, developed by Benchwick \u2013 one of China\u2019s fast growing vinyl flooring producers \u2013 takes digital printing to a higher level, and that it will play a defining role in the evolution of next-generation flooring. The possibility to produce superior 3D embossed-in-register patterns is especially important in the area of new flooring materials, making digital printing an imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patent applications for this new patent family, offering a unique 3D-effect embossing structure on top of decorative panels via digital printing, have been filed in China, Europe and the United States. Further filings in other countries will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new innovation adds to I4F\u2019s comprehensive digital printing portfolio already including cutting-edge, market leading technologies from Classen and Kronospan \u2013 both leaders in the field of digital printing and already delivering large volumes of products using digitally printed designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Rietveldt, I4F\u2019s CEO said, \u201cThe addition of Benchwick\u2019s 3D-effect embossing technology to I4F\u2019s digital printing patent portfolio means that our licensees now also have access to the most performant and usable digital printing technologies in the industry. We strive to discover and promote new, exciting technologies for the advancement of the global flooring industry. We are driving forward the introduction of this one-of-a-kind technology that helps manufacturers deliver an impressive embossed 3D-effect on panels using digital printing. Retailers can offer their customers the wow-factor by delivering tailor-made designs with the best visual quality around today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block file-list\">\n    <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/27012020-News-Rel-I4F-reinforces-DP-portfolio_EN.pdf\" class=\"more\" target=\"blank\">ENGLISH VERSION<\/a><\/p>\n    <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CH-27012020-News-Rel-I4F-reinforces-DP-portfolio_CH.pdf\" class=\"more\" target=\"blank\">CHINESE VERSION<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"block news feed latest\" id=\"block_60d312f060f4c\">\n          <div class=\"container\">\n            <h6 class=\"title text-center\">Derni\u00e8res actualit\u00e9s<\/h6>\n            <div class=\"row pb-5\">\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">Mar 31, 2026<\/p>\n                <p>i4F and Unilin Technologies\u00a0enter into non\u2011assert agreement on water\u2011repellent coating patents for laminate and wood flooring<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/fr\/article\/i4f-and-unilin-technologies-enter-into-non%e2%80%91assert-agreement-on-water%e2%80%91repellent-coating-patents-for-laminate-and-wood-flooring\/\" class=\"more\">Lire l\u2019article<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">Mar 25, 2026<\/p>\n                <p>Parkett Magazin &#8211; i4F: John Rietveldt in an interview of the month<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/fr\/article\/parkett-magazin-i4f-john-rietveldt-in-an-interview-of-the-month\/\" class=\"more\">Lire l\u2019article<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">Jan 27, 2026<\/p>\n                <p>Lioncore selects i4F as exclusive licensor for its new patented L-SPC lightweight rigid core product build-up and composition<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/fr\/article\/lioncore-selects-i4f-as-exclusive-licensor-for-its-new-patented-l-spc-lightweight-rigid-core-product-build-up-and-composition\/\" class=\"more\">Lire l\u2019article<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <p class=\"text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/fr\/news\/\" class=\"btn btn-outline-secondary\">Voir toutes les actualit\u00e9s<\/a><\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":14,"template":"","categories":[13],"class_list":["post-862","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry","category-partnerships"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
