"   Digital printing and other high-tech innovations are creating lots of excitement in wallcoverings on the market today. Moreover, the application of technology to decorative surfacings is leading the way to future special effects. For example, easy-change magnetic coverings and those that vary in color with light and temperature are just a few of the ideas in the works. Until these design dreams become reality, you can stretch your imagination with new extra-long borders, and head for the light with the fresh metallic designs shown here.     Traditionally, the pattern on a wallpaper border repeats every 20 or so inches, due to constraints of the printing process. But with digital printers, there may eventually be affordable continuous designs of virtually any length. Heading in that direction are mural-style borders in the new Three Pillars Collection from Seabrook. For instance, the American Century border (2) offers 12 feet of nostalgic images circa 1900 to 2000\u2014with no repeats! For rooms with a view, try the romantic garden, beach, and river vistas in this lengthy line.    Improved inks are allowing more colors to be used in the same design, resulting in more realistic and painterly effects, with less brittle buildup on the background than in years past. As for shapes, die-cut machinery is creating increasingly sophisticated cutouts and curves. Designer Raymond Waites makes use of both these innovations with eight-color wallcovering patterns in his new Neo-Vintage Collection for Imperial Home Decor Group.  The curvy Serenity border in Copper (5) is from his new, refreshingly contemporary Art of Precious Metals Collection.   Also working in the stylish metal vein are York Contract, which recently introduced Punched Metal wallcovering (1), and architect Laurinda Spear of Miami-based Arquitectonica, who designed Wave in Bronze (3) and Rain in Tinsel (4) as part of a new collection of wallcoverings for Wolf-Gordon.
