Sincro Digital is 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 system would be optimal for all of them. Sincro Digital is conceived to allow manufacturers choose the most suitable configuration according to their needs.

Several systems of decoration in a single machine

Sincro Digital can be configured with the following rotary decoration 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 decorating heads

According to their needs manufacturers can choose among different Sincro Digital versions, ranging from 1 to 8 totally-synchronised decoration 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 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 printing mode improves the naturalness of designs that imitate marbles and stones.
  • Multi-face mode: uit uses rollers engraved with a number of images whose rotation is controlled by means of specific software that minimises the mechanical wear of the 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:
    Decorate at high speed: Repeating the same image several times on the same roller. It is ideal to maximise the productivity of any factory.

    Decorate with 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.
