System unveils three key ceramic decoration innovations

At TECNA 2024 – held at the end of September 2024 in Rimini, Italy – System Ceramics unveiled three technologies that the company says will elevate ceramic decoration: Infinity SKY, Infinity DRY, and the updated Digiglaze 2.1.

These solutions are said to deliver high-quality performance in digital printing and surface finishing, offering manufacturers the tools to meet today’s demand for precision, flexibility, and sustainability.

Infinity SKY is said to redefine digital printing for ceramics, and set a new benchmark for quality and precision. With the ability to integrate up to 16 print bars, it allows manufacturers to achieve precise graphic effects with high resolution and detail. From complex patterns to fine designs, Infinity SKY is claimed to ensure a consistently high level of quality across a wide range of products.

A key feature of Infinity SKY is its self-cleaning system, which automatically maintains the print heads, reducing downtime and minimising the need for manual intervention.

Infinity SKY is designed to handle high-volume production while maintaining top-tier printing standards, which is said to make it ideal for manufacturers aiming to expand their production capabilities.

Infinity DRY is said to ensure the precise application of grit and powder to tiles, enabling detailed designs. It allows manufacturers to decorate specific areas of the tile with dry materials, offering control that enables more sophisticated designs and complex textures. This level of precision is difficult to achieve with traditional methods, but Infinity DRY is said to make it possible, expanding creative possibilities.

In addition to its accuracy, Infinity DRY it said to optimise material use, reducing waste and improving production efficiency. The system’s ability to combine decorative bars and grit application in a single module further enhances productivity and creativity.

The updated Digiglaze 2.1 bar was designed to enhance precision for glazing large-format surfaces by ensuring more accurate and consistent application. It handles slabs up to 1,800mm with exceptional accuracy, says the comoany, so that it can deliver uniform and flawless finishes. Large-scale projects, which demand high consistency and meticulous attention to detail, should benefit from this capability.

Digiglaze 2.1 also offers energy efficiency, supporting manufacturers’ aspirations to lower their environmental impact without quality compromises.

About diaryofatileaddict

I have been writing about the tile industry for more than 25 years. I have started this blog to share some of my knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, ceramic tiles. I also wanted to shine a light on the work of some of the artists, architects and designers around the world who work with ceramic tiles. I was the Founding Editor of Tile UK, and I am currently the Editor of three tile-related publications in the UK: Tile & Stone Journal, The Specifier’s Guide to Ceramic Tile & Calibrated Natural Stone; and TDY: Tile Design Yearbook. I am also International Correspondent for Tile Today and Discovering Stone, both published in Australia. My aim with Diary of a Tile Addict is to introduce tile enthusiasts to developments in tile design, significant architectural and interior design projects that get the best out of tiles, technological developments that are driving the ceramic tile sector forward, and breaking news from tile exhibitions around the world. I will also introduce readers to some of the talented and inspiring individuals who help make the ceramic tile world so creatively diverse, technically advanced and intellectually fascinating.
