  • UV ultraviolet
  • acrylic paints suitable for outdoor use, restricts the decoration possibilities due to limitations on their application.
  • organic pigment UV-curable inks can be applied by ink jet printing. However, they have a bad behaviour for outdoor use, and it is generally accepted that after two years they begin to lose their colouring characteristics.
  • Inkjet technology allows great production flexibility, greater consistency in the decorating process, reducing the consumption of pigments, reducing the time required to change models, possibility of decorating to the edges of the piece, and reducing the time elapsed since the idea for a new product design to manufacturing.
  • firing stage after the inkjet decoration allows to fix pigments, which became integrated into the vitreous structure of the material. This guarantees good adhesion and protection of the pigment.

  • the use of the specific solvents having a boiling point point equal to or higher than 200 °C, particularly equal to or higher than 250 °C and equal to or lower than 400 °C, namely with relatively low vapour pressures, allows reducing the evaporation of the solvent in the printheads, which prevents the clogging of inkjet nozzles, making the printing system more stable. Incidentally, the release of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) during the decoration process is also reduced.
