We are once again pursuing a viable woodgrain look. At one point we had screen printed a burl walnut pattern for the interior trim pieces of simi trucks. Our process resulted in about a 20% success rate. 80% scrap meant that this was not a profitable business. The new goal is to produce the parts using digital printing. I have created the pattern and printed a sample. Every thing looks good. There is so much movement in the pattern, that stitching it together seamlessly was not difficult, just a little time consuming. Now if we can come up with a topcoat that passes customer specification, we might be able to sell the product.
