Sincro Digital is the ceramic rotary printer conceived to allow manufacturers choose the most suitable configuration according to their needs.

Given the diversity of designs and effects used nowadays to decorate tiles, it is hard to imagine that a single rotary decoration printer would be optimal for all of them. Sincro Digital is conceived to allow manufacturers choose the most suitable configuration according to their needs.

Several printing systems in a single machine

Sincro Digital can be configured with the following rotary printing systems:

Digital Roller: patented by CretaPrint, it is indicated for flat tiles or those with moderate relief.
Flexografía: specially recommended for tiles with pronounced reliefs.

Up to 8 printing heads

According to their needs tile manufacturers can choose among different Sincro Digital versions, ranging from 1 to 8 totally-synchronised printing heads. A greater number of heads allows the manufacturing of products of increased complexity and aesthetic value.

Multiple printing modes

Any Sincro Digital can further adapt to the characteristics of a particular product by running in the following printing modes:

  • Centered mode: repetition of the same image on each tile. Specially recommended for the accurate reproduction of geometric designs.
  • Random mode: random printing of different sections from a non-continuous image. Very useful for rustic tile designs, shading look and ‘fumés’.
  • Synchronised mode: for the random printing of different sections from a continuous image. The difference with regards to the random mode is that rollers are synchronized to print exactly the same section of the image in each of the colours that form the design. This ceramic printing mode improves the naturalness of designs that imitate marbles and stones.
  • Multi-face mode: uses rollers engraved with a number of images whose rotation is controlled by means of specific software that minimizes the mechanical wear of the tile printing system. The acceleration and deceleration of each roller are performed in a continuous progressive fashion, unlike in other machines where rollers stop abruptly and completely
    The multi-face mode can be used to:
    Ceramic printing at high speed: Repeating the same image several times on the same roller. It is ideal to maximize the productivity of any factory.

    Ceramic printing high variability: Combining several slightly different versions of the same image on a roller. It is recommended for the manufacturing of ‘cotto’-type rustic designs.

  • Alternative mode: easy to combine with any of the previous modes, it allows the programming of up to 30 different printing combinations for each design. It is particularly appropriate for shading rustic designs.
