Applications
Digital inkjet ceramic printing has the power to cut production costs, increase yields and allow the introduction of new effects, transforming your business.
Digital ceramic printing
Application challenges
The contact nature of the rotary screen printing used in conventional ceramic tile decoration leads to breakages of around 10% on each production run. In addition, long set-up times and high set-up costs can make short runs uneconomical.
Benefits of inkjet digital ceramic printing
- Non-contact printing means no breakages, ensuring each run delivers a higher yield, while the ability to use thinner tiles reduces costs
- Short set-up times and low set-up costs make short runs economical
- Ability to print on surfaces of variable height means you can print onto textured tiles and bevelled edges
- Randomised image printing means no pattern repeats so you can replicate a natural effect
