How to Break into Décor Printing.” Cherish is a widely acclaimed, multi-award winning, and classically trained artist. Her artistic designs have helped to sell millions of dollars of product all over the world and have been seen in galleries, boutiques, gift, stationery, and garden shops as well as high-end resorts, country clubs, upscale department stores. Cherish will focus on facilitating how designers and printers can find each other and collaborate to take advantage of opportunities in the fast-growing digital décor and wallcovering market.

The market for digital décor has been forecast to grow strongly in the coming years. According to Allied Market Research, the home décor market in general is expected to reach $1.1 billion by 2032 at 4.9% CAGR. Polaris Market Research adds that digitally printed wallpaper alone is expected to reach $21.33 billion by 2032, with 19.4% CAGR. Display graphics equipment manufacturers across the board see growth in these markets, and many have been launching digitally printed wallcovering solutions. And many elements of décor can be produced on equipment you may already have. But how do you break into décor printing?

So join us on Wednesday, April 17 at 1 pm EDT, for helpful tips on how PSPs, display graphics producers, and others can take advantage of this high-growth market.
