01 — OVERVIEWThe APL Printing Station uses a design roller to print wood grain or another continuous pattern. It is a dedicated decoration stage for a board or wood-surface production workflow.
The published component schedule lists a roller motor and blower. The chosen design roller determines the repeated pattern, so discuss the decorative design, panel format and coating sequence with APL when planning the printing station.
