3D inkjet printing technology brings the revolution of ceramic printing

Recently, Su Zhiwen, president of the Ceramic Trade and Economic Association of Jinjiang City, Fujian Province, said that the ceramic ink-jet printing technology created by the contemporary technological revolution has enabled the production of ceramic tiles to change from a “copier” to a “printer,” and has enabled small-scale, individualized ceramic tiles. Production became possible, and thus was hailed as the third revolution in ceramic printing. This technology, which represents the future development direction of ceramics, has been applied in more and more Jinjiang ceramics enterprises. This marks that the Jinjiang ceramics industry is opening the era of 3D inkjet printing.

Ceramic Enterprise Testing Water Jet Technology

“Recently, we have received a special group of guests. We say special because they are our friends and our partners.” The relevant person in charge of Jinjiang City Danhao Ceramics Co., Ltd. introduced the ink market to further explore Jinjiang. An ink company in Spain has hired Danhao Ceramics to rent an office building and set up a branch here. Su Zhiwen said that this was the first time that the ink company set up a branch in Fujian. The reason why it set up its branch office in Jinjiang was to look at the ink market here.

Originally, following the successful launch of 3D inkjet full glazed ceramic tiles by Danhao Ceramics at the beginning of 2012, many companies in Jinjiang have begun to follow suit to test water 3D inkjet printing technologies and have launched their own 3D ink jet printing ceramics. product. As the key raw material for such new products, ink has been included in more and more companies' purchase lists. For example, the aforementioned ink company in Spain, although not formally opened, there are no less than 8 local ceramic companies that have reached an agreement with them.

Su Zhiwen said that ink jet printing is a common printing method in the IT industry. It is widely used in the printing of black and white and color documents and pictures. It prints clearly and the images are vivid. It can be networked with computers and related devices to achieve long-distance transmission with a high degree of automation. Ceramic ink jet printing technology is the principle of digital ink jet printing that comes from paper. In 1997, it was first invented by American Flow Corporation. However, paper ink jet printing uses organic inks, while ceramic ink jet printing uses ceramic glazes made of inorganic materials and also undergoes high-temperature calcination. Therefore, this conversion process from organic to inorganic is not an easy task, and it cannot be applied to mass production without solving technical problems such as stratification, sedimentation, color development, fineness, dispersion, and flow velocity stability. At present, these technical difficulties have been effectively solved one by one. In Italy and other countries, ceramic printing technology has been widely used in ceramic decoration. The Fujian Province, always standing in the front of the R & D of the ceramics enterprises in Jinjiang City, and Guangdong, Foshan and other places counterparts simultaneously, have entered the field of inkjet ceramics, snatch food innovation drive "cake", jumped for the forefront of industry development.

As the first ceramic enterprise in Fujian Province to use 3D inkjet printing technology, Danhao Ceramics invested more than 10 million yuan three years ago and introduced a multi-functional glaze production line from Foshan New Jingtai Company. The production line consists of two glazes with a length of over 170 meters each. The line consists of domestic advanced antique brick equipment and printing equipment; Danhao Ceramics also purchased an inkjet printer from the new Jingtai for the implementation of 3D inkjet printing technology.

Inkjet technology spawns personalized products

Coincidentally. Quanzhou Huatai Group also started to improve the product structure of Huahong Antique Tiles since 2012. It introduced advanced 3D ink jet equipment and developed some high-end new products using 3D ink jet technology. At present, its 3D inkjet tile has been released. It is quite popular in the market.

Companies such as the company, Jinjiang Ceramic Co., Ltd., Jinjiang Caiba Ceramics Co., Ltd. and other ceramic companies have successively followed, and some are installing 3D ink jet equipment. Some have already debugged new products. Some ceramic companies have even changed their identities and become Inkjet equipment agents, extend the relevant industry chain......

According to reports, at present, there are hundreds of various ceramic enterprises in Jinjiang City, which are difficult to extricate themselves from in order to avoid vicious competition such as price wars. In the past year or two, many ceramic enterprises in Jinjiang have begun to switch to the production of personalized products. Many high-quality companies formulate new strategies for product development and take the high-end route so as to make products more competitive. 3D inkjet tiles can win the favor of consumers, mainly because of their personal charm. "3D inkjet full-glazed ceramic tile can meet the psychological appeal of contemporary young people in the 'home design'. This tile uses three-dimensional holographic image processing technology, can use optical principles to intelligently read image information, through the top digital inkjet The technology will print high-fidelity pictures and restore 100% tile patterns. Therefore, some young consumers who are pursuing their individual needs may even require the whole family photo or personal photos to be copied onto the tile surface,” said the person in charge of Danhao Ceramics.

“In recent years, with the improvement of people’s living standards and the increase in individualized demands, the market’s demand for ceramic products has shifted from a single stable to a diversified, high-grade, and higher-level spiritual demand.” Chen Huajie, general manager of the industry, said that now 80 has gradually become the main consumer of building materials ceramics market, this group of people pay more attention to design, like fashion, beautiful products, 3D inkjet tile design sense is strong, a few pieces can be assembled out The partial use of the picture can serve as the finishing touch for the entire room layout.

“In addition, looking at the current development of the ceramic industry, the general trend of low-carbon environmental protection and independent innovation is increasingly present. 3D inkjet ceramic tiles can purify indoor air because they use bamboo charcoal ions and bamboo essential oil in ceramic tiles. This is environmentally friendly. The concept is also respected by modern people," said Su Zhiwen, president of the Jingjiang City Ceramic Trade and Economic Association.
