We believe that digital printing can revolutionize the global construction marketplace.

Our mission is to help you successfully implement the technology in your local community and beyond.

ABOUT US

We’re a group of real estate, technology, and home ownership evangelists that want to change the world and provide extraordinary living situations for humanity.

We believe the home construction industry needs to be optimized to take advantage of today’s new technologies, materials, and design standards. Digital Printing is the most flexible, creative way to meet the needs of the market and evolve with it.

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation, the Association is dedicated to being the cheerleader for the industry–supporting its growth and evolution, providing training and education, and seizing opportunities for our members to serve their communities, both locally and around the world. We want to help you grow your business…so you can be more profitable, have more fun and make a positive impact in your marketplace.

If you’re a homeowner, investor, student, or simply an enthusiast (as we are), it’s our pleasure to keep you up to date on new trends and opportunities and provide you with tools and resources if you decide to jump in on a more active level.

We’ll work together with our members as well as local governments in order to ensure that this new trend-setting technology is not just accepted, but embraced with enthusiasm. We’re also committed to ensuring that the industry grows with quality and high standards, so we’re introducing a certification program–so that builders & developers can have valuable designations to market with, and provide confidence to homeowners.
