How Printerior unlocks new creative and commercial opportunities with Canon Arizona technology, PRISMAelevate XL and HeightIQ
As demand for richer, more immersive visual experiences grows, Printerior is at the forefront of a rapidly evolving market. From interior design and luxury retail to museums, yacht builders and accessibility specialists, clients increasingly seek bespoke, tactile surfaces that blend aesthetics with functionality. Printerior has built its business around this shift, transforming interiors, artworks and brand spaces with elevated prints produced on the Canon Arizona and advanced software workflows.
Market trends shaping the future
Across industries, one trend stands out: visual experiences are becoming increasingly multisensory. Interior designers and architects want surfaces that feel as good as they look, with textures that mimic wood grain, brushed metal or carved stone. Cultural institutions are exploring new ways to deepen visitor engagement, from textured art reproductions to interactive exhibition elements. Luxury brands look for distinctive materials that help their merchandising stand out, while the yacht and marine sector is moving towards lightweight yet premium decorative panels.
Another major development is the rising importance of accessibility. Organizations such as Dedicon are using tactile print to make information and art more accessible for people with visual impairments. This area is growing rapidly, driven by a broader shift towards inclusive design. Dedicon and Printerior work together in this field: Dedicon develops the designs, while Printerior produces the tactile prints.
For Printerior, these trends represent strong opportunities supported and scaled by Canon technology.
Creativity amplified by Canon Arizona
At the heart of Printerior’s production is the Canon Arizona flatbed printer. Its ability to print directly onto a wide range of materials, including MDF, glass, acrylic, aluminum and Dibond, allows the team to deliver tailor made designs without complex material layering. High fidelity colour, durability and precision enable consistent results for demanding clients, whether producing luxury panels for Yves Saint Laurent or marine grade décor for yacht builders.
This combination of versatility and reliability supports experimentation and helps shorten prototyping times.
Elevating the tactile experience with PRISMAelevate XL
Printerior’s expertise in relief printing is strengthened by PRISMAelevate XL, which adds visible and tangible depth up to 4 mm directly onto the print surface. This enables applications ranging from Ferdinand Blankenvoorde‘s Royal Palace on Amsterdam’s Dam Square to elevated reproductions of Girl with the Pearl Earring available through the Mauritshuis museum shop.
For accessibility focused partners like Dedicon, PRISMAelevate XL supports the creation of braille, tactile illustrations and educational materials. The integration with Adobe workflows allows complex height profiles to be prepared efficiently.

Printerior is also piloting Canon’s HeightIQ, an AI driven tool that automatically generates height maps from imagery. A process that previously required significant manual work can now be completed in a few clicks, increasing speed and reducing the chance of errors.
A partnership that leaves an impression
Printerior’s relationship with Canon developed through shared creative projects and hands on training sessions in Venlo. The collaboration continues to grow as both teams explore new ways to apply elevated print in design, art and accessibility.
With Canon Arizona technology, PRISMAelevate XL and tools like HeightIQ, Printerior is reshaping how brands, artists, architects and educators bring their ideas to life. The future is not only visible but also tangible.
