Patrick Industries announced Patrick Printing Solutions (PPS), a direct-to-panel printing technology that applies graphics and physical textures directly onto panel materials. The process eliminates the need for separate decorative laminates, veneers or wall coverings, reducing supply and obsolescence issues. PPS works with composites including Patrick's proprietary NTXT, MDF, particleboard and wood products, with current printing capabilities up to approximately 4 by 10 feet and larger formats planned. The system allows digital storage of designs for on-demand production, cutting lead times from months to days.
