INKtensity of colour: tile printing with intense colours

With Cretaprinter more intense colours are posible. The technology used in Cretaprinter makes it possible to work with inks of up to 100 cps of viscosity at 40ºC, compared to the 20 cps of current systems. This fact makes Cretaprinter the first existing solution for working with inks with a higher content of oxide colouring particles, and consequently, with higher colour intensity inks.

Cretaprinter has been the first printer to arrive on the market that, besides working in binary mode can also work in grey scale mode.

Cretaprinter is capable to print with ink drops of different volume (grey scale mode), while in other systems the drop is always generated with the same size (binary mode). As a result, pixelized (separated dots) images are avoided, and a uniform colour degradation is obtained.

Example: 360 x 360 dpi (Binary)

ceramic grey scale printing
360 x 360 dpi (Grey Scale)

Tile printing carried out at 360x360 dpi in gray scale mode with 7 levels would be the equivalent in binary mode of a resolution of more than 900x900 dpi

The real production time of Cretaprinter is greater because it does not need to stop frequently to eliminate the air generated in the process of drop formation while printing.

With inkjet technology, when the ink drop is generated, a quantity of air equal to the volume of the drop generated is introduced. In current systems, this air must be eliminated by means of purgings. This makes it necessary to continually stop printing.

Cretaprinter’s ink recirculation system allows eliminating the air generated while printing; for this reason Cretaprinter does not need so many production stops to keep on working.

The ink is constantly in movement, which makes Cretaprinter the best solution for intensive industrial use in terms of colour, resolution, and printing productivity.
