Decoration of special sizes and complementary pieces
Digital Trim is a unique rotary machine which can decorate over curved pieces and their rounded borders. Designed to print over all sorts of complementary pieces: skirtings, trims, listelos, borders, etc.
Digital Trim allows the manufacturing of complementary pieces (borders, skirtings, bullnose and other trims) with an identical level of quality to that of the reference base tiles.
For base tiles made with rotary decoration, it is not necessary to make a conversion of the design either to flat silk-screen printing or decals. Digital Trim is a rotary machine that directly reproduces designs on complementary pieces without a loss in quality or shade intensity.
In the case of base tiles made with flat silk-screen printing, the conversion of the design and its later accurate reproduction on complementary pieces is obtained with flexography or CretaPrint’s exclusive Digital Roller printing system. The latter allows the reproduction of any design with a resolution of up to 50 dots per centimetre, even higher to that achieved in industrial decoration when using flat screens or decals.
Digital Trim is designed to decorate up to the edge and over relief complementary pieces whose decoration was only possible using decals. Each manufacturer can choose the combination of printing systems and roller hardness that better suits each type of piece:
Digital Trim fully automates the decoration of complementary pieces. Such automation generates important cost savings when compared to other systems:
