History repeats itself

Cicero Digital og Graﬁsk AS is a print service provider located in Tønsberg, Norway. Cicero's owner bought the rights to the complete collection of wallpaper designs from an old Norwegian wallpaper factory. The designs originate from 1890 to 1990.

They made a selection of those timeless designs and brought those to life again using state-of- the-art technology, including modern techniques to scan and restore old designs to be ready for printing with the UVgel Wallpaper Factory. The result: high-quality wallpaper with outstanding consistency ensuring consistently repeatable images. The prints are scratch and scuﬀ resistant, making them less susceptible to damage.

The solution installed at Cicero is the Colorado 1650, the Fotoba XLD170WP, conﬁgured to print 3-up, and the Fotoba REW162M Multiple Tiles Rewinding Unit.
