| Description: | Technically advanced four-colour decal products developed for inglaze decoration.
The four-colour printing process allows ceramic decal manufacturers to cost-effectively reproduce complex, high-resolution, multicolour images. |
| Benefits: | Reduced stockholding
Reduced delivery lead times
Reduced costs, compared to the traditional screen printing process
Optimum colour space
Enhanced printability through finer meshes
High chemical durability
Suitable for conventional and fast firing. |
| Printing Recommendations: | Mesh sizes
High-resolution images of 110 lines per inch (raster point 43) will, typically, require screens of 355-380 mesh ( 150T) for inglaze systems.
Printing order
For most reproduction jobs, colours are printed in the following order:
1 - Yellow
2 - Cyan
3 - Magenta
4 – Black
Printing Medium
Accurate reproduction of the halftone dot structure is critical to the quality of the four colour image. A thixotropic medium enables the ink to flow through the fine mesh and maintain a high-resolution dot image. Recommendations on the right kind of printing medium can be given on request.
Powder-to-medium ratios
Powder-to-medium ratios should be adjusted, so as to produce an ink that maintains printability through finer meshes whilst maintaining the halftone dot structure.
Details of powder-to-medium ratios are available on request. |
