Inkjet printing applied to Chinese ceramic printing to achieve personalized revolution

The second revolution that contributed to ceramic printing technology was roller printing. Roller printing machine has two kinds of screen roller and rubber roller. Screen roller has been used in Italy in the early years, and our country has basically introduced an upgraded rubber roller. Compared with screen printing, roller printing is a kind of flexible printing, and its breakthrough lies in the printing of concave and convex surfaces, which makes the surface level of the brick more abundant, and has a higher degree of natural simulation. Screen printing is the first revolution in ceramic printing. However, screen printing is a kind of flat printing. It cannot realize the convex printing on the surface of tiles, and it is difficult to realize the multidimensional and three-dimensional effects of the surface.

However, just like clothing, with the pursuit of fashion and individuation, simple printing can no longer satisfy people's needs. This trend forces ceramic manufacturers to constantly renovate and innovate. The use of inkjet printing technology to produce personalized tile printing, came into being.

Ceramic ink jet printing has many unparalleled advantages over previous screen printing and roller printing. It can achieve personalized requirements in a very short period of time, and is more suitable for the development trend of today's ceramic tile decoration fashion, personalization, small batches, and more suits. In recent years, the production of antique bricks has developed rapidly. The surface of some high-end varieties, such as faux bark and imitation logs, is uneven and uneven. The glazing printing can not be realized by screen printing and roller printing. Ink printing can be handy to follow suit. Inkjet printing has been called the third industrial revolution of China's ceramic printing technology, and it is favored by more and more domestic ceramic enterprises. The printing of Guangzhou Big Benxiang integrated ceiling equipment is a relatively advanced ink-jet printing in ceramic printing, which is a revolution in personalized printing.

Judging from the current situation, it is expected that the ceramic industry in mainland China will complete a historic shift from roll printing to jet printing within three years. If China’s ceramics is not able to complete this transition quickly, then domestic ceramic enterprises will likely lose to countries with lower production costs such as Vietnam, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia. At present, individual ceramic companies in China have been involved in inkjet printing technology, but the use of the situation seems to be less than ideal, but as more ceramic companies involved, it is expected that the new situation will open.

Inkjet printing has changed the traditional printing technology to achieve "air" printing that does not come into contact with the brick surface. It can achieve multi-angle, high-density glazing, and fully presents the three-dimensional design effect of the tile surface; ink-jet printing was first realized in Disposable printing on the three-dimensional surface of the tile.

Having said this, it is certain that many people will lament the impact of digital inkjet on traditional screen printing. Whether it is the ceramic industry that will jump in the next three years or the clothing printing industry that is on the move, digital inkjet will undoubtedly become a screen. The biggest threat to printing. However, due to the fact that inkjet technology is still in development, there are still certain technical barriers to occupy the traditional screen printing market, coupled with the current high cost of materials and equipment, so the price is high, so now inkjet printers There will not be an alternative threat to the industrial screen printer for the time being, but it has a great opportunity to do so. This needs to attract the attention of all screen printer decision makers and make long-term investment plans.
