Digitally printed reproductions of historic wallpapers offer a cost-effective solution to traditional methods. Design programs effectively recreate and color correct historic patterns from wallpaper fragments or photographs which are then printed onto rolls of paper. This process is even easier for a pattern that survives in a partial roll of wallpaper, as the digital image will need few if any corrections. To overcome the limitations of digital printing, such as the inability to print metallic colors, traditional techniques are often applied on top of the digitally print to complete the process.
