DG Dimense, a Roland DG joint venture company and manufacturer of the Dimense large format three-dimensional embossing technology, has appointed Celmac Australia as a specialist national reseller for its textured printing solutions in the Australian market.
Celmac Australia managing director Wayne McIntyre said, “We are thrilled to be on board and working with DG Dimense as we get started on this new journey into textured printing solutions.
“We have wide industry experience in the sign and décor print market here in Australia and are looking forward to bringing this complementary and expansive solution to our customers and the market in general.
“We know the range of solutions that are available today and recognise that with the Dimense technology, general print service providers and specialist printers can all gain an advantage and expand their product offerings to their respective client bases. This includes adding extra dimension to key premium sign and display applications.
“Our team here at Celmac is looking forward to receiving initial stocks and advanced training on the product over the next few weeks, to get ready to start talking to our customers and demonstrate the new range of solutions through our Australian network of offices.”
Roland DG Corporation and vice-president of DG Dimense Kevin Shigenoya said the team is excited to be working with Celmac Australia to help expand its solution into the Australian market.
“We are confident that Wayne McIntyre and the team have the drive and experience along with the support and service infrastructure to represent and grow the wide range of applications that our technology can produce to provide additional value to print service providers and specialist integrators alike,” he said.
The Dimense solution consists of the Dimensor S inkjet printer combined with special media that has the property of foaming when heated, a structured ink to control foaming, and CMYK water-based ink that is safe for use indoors.
After printing, the media is heated by the printer’s on-board heater, which causes areas not coated with structure ink to foam up to 1.5 mm thick, creating a textured design. This innovative solution is said to enable on-demand output of graphics with a three-dimensional presence.
Dimense also has an exclusive line of PVC-free media, with finishes including matte, suede, metallic silver, metallic gold, pearlescent, and chameleon, enabling the production of a wide variety of interior decorations, including wallpaper, as well as point-of-purchase materials.
The lineup also includes textile medias that are ideal for indoor signage such as silicone edge graphics, canvases, roll-up banners, and POP. Due to their compliance with safety standards such as AgBB and A+ certification, these medias can be used safely in a variety of indoor situations and allows customers who want to diversify or provide a range of unique and high-value solutions to their existing customer base. Additional applications such as custom patterned concreate or plaster can also be achieved.
Dimense showcased its latest, fourth generation print and emboss system that is one pass and eco-friendly at FESPA Munich in 2023, with its Australian agent Stick On Signs’ CEO Abe Weiszberger at the tradeshow to talk to Sprinter about the system’s capabilities.

Celmac NSW state manager Jonny Rumney said, “We are proud to be a sponsor for PacPrint 2025 and we are particularly looking forward to being able to introduce Dimense at the exhibition along with our range of other new technologies at the event.
“Our team will be on hand to talk to everyone and explain how DIMENSE can benefit their business and where Celmac can support them.”
