Styleways finds new print opportunities
Styleways GmbH, a leading print service provider in Dresden, Germany, has found a new and profitable niche in customized furnishings. In a world that is becoming increasingly personalized, digitally printed interior décor items: wall art, fabrics, and more are a rapidly growing trend creating a huge new market for printers. Styleways has taken the trend one step further with their custom-printed adhesive fabric for furniture. The business has been so good they opened the online store: Arcondo, where customers can upload their own designs.
HP Removable Adhesive Fabric - repositionable with no residue
Sylvia Bennewitz, Managing Director, said they started printing adhesive fabric for furniture with an adhesive product that did not allow removability, became permanent after six months, and left the furniture damaged. Then they found HP Removable Adhesive Fabric and were impressed with the print quality, durability, and removable adhesive, which allowed the fabric to be removed and repositioned without damage or residue.
“Another great advantage of HP Removable Adhesive Fabric has been savings on installation," says Sylvia. “It's so easy to install, needs no water or liquid adhesives, and can be repositioned over and over. We have found that other products lost their adhesive after being removed a few times.”
She also noted that HP Removable Adhesive Fabric doesn’t crease like other adhesive products they’ve tried. And it’s REACH compliant, which meets their customer’s environmental and safety objectives.
Offer the product perfect for a multitude of applications
Sylvia sees their new online shop expanding into graphics for shelving, kitchen cabinets, mailboxes, glass, floors, and more. With HP Removable Adhesive Fabric, Styleways has been able to differentiate itself from the competition while finding new revenue streams.

Croatia, known as the land of "1,000 islands", is a beautiful country the size of West Virginia with a rugged coastline, historic walled cities, and rich history. There is also an unspoiled natural side of Croatia, from rocky canyons to alpine mountains, pine-studded islands, and dense forests that contain some of Europe's most pristine natural habitats. Here you will find species such as the Ural owl, Golden eagle, elusive Brown bear, Wolf, and Lynx.
Wildlife photographer Wim van Passel was invited to produce a photo documentary to bring attention to the beauty and vulnerability of these unspoiled areas. Van Passel has been a successful commercial photographer for over 35 years and works with the Worldwide Fund (WWF), the world's leading conservation organization, donating over 10,000 images from over 65 trips to endangered wilderness areas worldwide.
Van Passel prints on HP Premium Instant-dry Gloss Photo Paper, which dries instantly, produces exceptional image quality on long-lasting prints that meet environmental objectives with an FSC®-certification.
"HP Premium Instant-dry Gloss Photo Paper gives me the best quality results for exhibition," says van Passel, "After all these years of printing photographs for over 125 shows, I am confident of the quality of the print."
Van Passel is currently seeking support for his next quest to conserve our natural environment with a trip to "The Other Side of Antarctica." You can help this noble artist by purchasing his stunning photographs and books through his "Timeless Moments" project or with your company sponsorship: http://www.tijdlozemomenten.nl.
Offer the professional's choice: HP Premium Instant-dry Gloss Photo Paper and learn about our other HP Photo papers. HP continues its sustainable efforts, and together with selfless artists like Wim van Passel and our partners, we can make a difference. Check out HPLFMedia.com, where you can search for products developed to reduce the impact on the environment by portfolio or certification.
